Three goals, three points, an away win to the team currently first in Serie A, doing it with a rotated team, players in attack finding form. What’s not to like about yesterday’s 3-1 win at the San Siro? Before a ball was kicked, yesterday morning and afternoon, I was excited for this game. The reason [...]
I have a real sense of gnawing frustration this morning. I watched the United/City game, and I just assumed United would be pants and City cut our lead, not the other way around, so by the time kick off came for our game, I was buzzing. There's nothing like a Sean Dyche mid-block slog-fest to [...]
Arsenal went to Stamford Bridge last night, to a Chelsea admittingly short of a fair few important players, and absolutely bossed them to take control of this League Cup two-legged semi-final. So why do I not feel completely sated this morning? I think it's probably the feeling that this tie could - and probably should [...]
It's match day, it's a cup semi-final, it's Chelsea away, and it's an opportunity to put one foot in the final with a good performance today. This will be a tough game. Both in terms of the opposition, but also on their approach, because whilst Liam Rosenior is new in post and will inevitably impart [...]
So last night we learned of our opponents in the next round of the FA Cup, with Wigan confirmed as the visitors to The Emirates in February, which brings back all kinds of memories for me. The first was that gawd-awful FA Cup semi-final in 2014. Going into it we were the favourites, we were [...]
It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]
Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]
Well now. That was one heck of a successful hate-watch midweek edition, wasn’t it? The Scum lost to a last-gasp winner (and the manager tries everything, including being given an Arsenal cup and told to drink from it because they’ve ’bottled’ some of Mikel Arteta’s tactical ju-ju in there Man United can’t hold off Burnley [...]
It's day two back in the office for me, and I already feel bloody knackered, so much for the rest and recharging of the Christmas period. I don't know how these footballers do it, you know. Well, I do, because they get lots of sleep, and they also treat their bodies like temples, not waste [...]
Happy Sunday boys and girls. We all feeling good about yet another Arsenal win? I know I am. I must admit that on 11 minutes of the game after Gabriel had played the most hospitally of hospital balls across his side of the 18-yard box to gift Evanilson a tap in, I did not have [...]
