With the domestic football season now winding down to its conclusion, we're left with just the scraps of international friendlies to spend our time talking about, which is never ideal. On Saturday I went for a nine mile hike across Box Hill in Surrey and I spent a bit of time with a Chelski fan [...]
Morning Gooners. Hope you're holding out ok? I managed to get through Good Friday, which means a Saturday that can be spent having plenty of booze, as I'm at a friends Wedding in the City, so at least that's another distraction from yet more time spent without The Arsenal. Last night there were the latest [...]
Talking about football after people have lost their lives under a terrorist regimes faux 'holy war' seems a little trivial this morning. Last night I watched the BBC News at Ten and held my wife a little closer, hoping that the frequency of these types of cowardly attacks does not increase across Europe, because innocent [...]
With the friendly game to take place at Wembley tonight most probably being the centre of attention for most of the world and its media, it is perhaps inevitable that from an Arsenal perspective there is some involvement. I suspect we'll see Giroud and Koscienly take their place in the team at some point, whilst [...]
Seems I jumped the proverbial gun yesterday with regards to the end of the international break, but thankfully now we all know that the dreaded 'interlull' is behind us after last nights matches, we can start to worry fully about who will play against Watford and what form they will come into the game on. [...]
I think it's safe to come out now, isn't it, after all the international friendlies and Euro qualifiers are done right? I took the horrendous decision to watch the majority of a disjointed and unimportant dead rubber between England and the might that is Lithuania, which is two hours of my life I'll never get [...]
Ok folks, we're over the worst of it now, you can start preparing for the proper football this weekend, as the international break will soon be a distant memory, thankfully. Another set of matches yesterday saw the North Irish have a pretty good day of it in the football and the egg chasers had plenty [...]
I Actually managed to sit through a whole 90 minutes of an England game last night, made all the more impressive by the fact that it was a dead rubber and only one Arsenal player was starting: Theo. Thankfully it was worth tuning in, just so that Theo could show Harry Kane what clinical finishing [...]
Yesterday evening I wrote a bit of a flippant tweet that a year ago nobody would have expected Theo Walcott to be on the verge of ending Wayne Rooney's England career, but having heard from the man himself in the afternoon at the England training camp, I do wonder if he's got that outcome in [...]
Although I didn't bother to watch any of the international games on yesterday, I have had a quick look at which of the games included key Arsenal players and, after a quick glance online, it appears everybody is safe. For now. By all accounts, Mesut Ozil sounds like he had an effective game for Germany [...]
