Was travelling back from South Africa to Blighty yesterday, so didn't get to pen any thoughts in the wake of that FA Cup exit to a United side who - like a few before them this season - basically scored with the one chance they really fashioned. And with the games coming thick and fast, [...]
It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
I’m not going to bother getting in to the stupid League Cup ball nonsense this morning. It’s simply another way to bash Mikel Arteta for answering a simple question. Meh. What I am going to get in to, is the fact that we are almost a third of the way through this January window and [...]
It’s another game in this hectic schedule for The Arsenal this evening and with a potential League Cup final place at stake if Arsenal manage to overcome an in-form Newcastle side over two legs, it’s going to be a really tricky game against a side who will fancy their chances with the way they are [...]
Well now, it appears as though we got away with one yesterday, eh? After the disappointment of the Brighton game, I think a lot of us had thought “that’s it. All over. Liverpool to canter to the title now” but here we all are, the morning after they have drawn 2-2 with what has been [...]

Happy Christmas Eve y’all. Hope you’re enjoying the Christmas period and, like me, are already moving yourself in to Gorge Mode like I am. My normal approach the day after Mike Arteta has had his press conference is to pour over every word of his ahead of the game on 27th December, but given that [...]
I watched the mentalness that was The Scum against the Scousers last night in a Durban airport and although I wanted to see Liverpool drop points, it’s hard not to have a wry smile about how terrible Tottenham are at the back. Yes, I know they have injuries, but playing your back line on the [...]
Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]
Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]
