There is of course World Cup news we could talk through today, but why on earth would we do that when there is just a few glorious crumbs of Arsenal news we can focus on first, eh? I feel a sense of elation, like a man searching for an oasis in the desert, that comes to a [...]
Didn't blog yesterday, on account of a bit of a massive hangover caused by a lovely family and friends party on Saturday. But what I did do was fall asleep during the Belgium v Morocco game, only to wake up as the match ticked in to injury time and realise that I'd missed most of [...]
False alarm. No need to get concerned. I thought for a day or two that I was starting to appreciate this England team, but then Gareth Southgate helped me to remember that England and International football is kind of garbage most of the time. The win over Iran had purpose, there was a speed of [...]
Yesterday I had a really busy day of meetings and personal appointments, so I didn't watch a single minute of football. By the sounds of it, that started off as a good idea with what Switzerland, Cameroon, Uruguay and South Korea all served up, but I've seen and heard some of the comments on the [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety - how about that from the Saudi Arabian's over the Argies yesterday, eh? That was some statement victory from the supposed whipping boys in the group, which also blows the group right open now and I think might have contributed to the absolute snooze-fest that was Mexico v Poland. I went to [...]
I have a confession to make. It is a confession that I never thought I'd ever have to acknowledge. But yesterday afternoon, it actually happened, and now I don't know what is happening with the world: I actually enjoyed watching an England match. I have trained myself to expect nothing but turgid, laborious, slow and [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing then, eh? This weekend I've watched most of that FID+FA documentary and my word, isn't that organisation a real piece of work, eh? And as for that Qatar 2022 bid, blimey, it wasn't exactly the most convincing of tales told by the people behind that bid, that's for [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? I'm bloody knackered, I tell you that much, so please excuse if today's ramblings are even more incoherent than usual. Combination of cat waking me up in all hours of the morning, an early start for work, as well as some residual jet lag I think. Which is [...]
Yesterday I penned some thoughts about who could most benefit from the second pre season we're about to get. You can have a read of that here if you like. Then, as I was out on my run this morning, I was listening to one of the many Arsenal podcasts I tune in to when [...]
Hello, hello, hello, how are you doing today? Are you feeling chipper now that we're knocking down the doors of the North London Derby game on Saturday? I'm not. Hate this fixture more than anything else. Home or away, I hate it. The worry, the nerves, the stress, it all just builds until the moment [...]
