It's the worst day in the footballing calendar for me personally, today is, as we travel away to Sh*ite Hart Lane to face that horrible lot round the corner in the North London Derby. I've always hated this fixture. Nerves, bragging rights, the fear of defeat and having to face all of the idiots at [...]
Press conferences always give a little bit of a nugget of info about the upcoming game, but the press don't usually use it to gain some kind of insight into how the clubs might tactically set up, instead using it as an opportunity to stoke the fires of possible discontent and rivalry between managers. So [...]
I didn't want to start this morning's blog labouring the point about referees and VAR that I did yesterday, but once again I find myself pretty angry having seen a couple of situations yesterday in other games that happened in the Premier League. The first I saw was a still of the Brighton vs Liverpool [...]
I don't know about you but I have a real sense of frustration about the game against Leicester City last night and there are a number of factors that seem to be driving that I think. Dropped points The first is the fact that we've dropped points that would have seen use sitting level with [...]
Another matchday is here and it’s ‘Part II’ of our Death Run as we come up against Leicester City at The Emirates this evening. This game is an intriguing one - and just as terrifying as the Wolves one - because of the way in which Leicester battered us on their turf earlier in the [...]
Happy Monday peeps. Yesterday I had a stinking hangover, so didn’t compile any thoughts on the Wolves result, but I gotta tell ya I was mighty impressed I have to say. It was the first ‘statement victory’ that we have had under Arteta and no wonder he had such a beaming smile afterwards. I know [...]
So we had Tricky Micky Arteta's press conference yesterday rather than today, which means we have something to stick our teeth into before this working week is done, which is nice. It must also mean that the team are making their moves up north today I'd imagine; probably because they got so lambasted by the [...]
So it turns out that football matches can, in fact, BE LOTS OF FUN! Who'd have thunk it, eh? Well, I say 'fun', but in reality - as is the case with this Arsenal team - we still managed to make a little chunk of the game difficult for ourselves in the second half, but [...]
Okee dokee, right, lots to get through so let's have at it. How about we start with: Henrikh Mkhitaryan Goodbye gentle prince, we hardly knew ye. He's off on a permanent deal to Roma, having had his super agent pal Mino whisper sweet nothings to Raul and Vinay to convince them that £200k-a-week off the [...]
Morning folks. Happy Tuesday. I hope you and yours are keeping well. I have woken up this morning in a good mood. Is it because I have no meetings today and so can just get through my 'to do' list without much interruption? Or could it be because it's payday? Maybe. But mostly it is [...]
