I was driving back from the parents' place yesterday morning, before getting on with a day of work, so didn't have time to pen some post thoughts two days after the 0-0 against Everton. What I would have said yesterday, however, was that I was still grumpy about that game. It's games like that when [...]
That was absolutely pants yesterday. I said it in my match preview, I was worried that it would be a stinky 'non game' in which Arsenal would need to find the answers to a low block, long ball, deep lying team with very little ambition to go forward in Everton. That is exactly what we [...]
A home match day again see's us up against 15th-placed Everton and an opportunity to at least keep pace with runaway leaders Liverpool, who will absolutely beat Fulham today on their own turf, if last weekend's game is anything to go by. Let's face it, we did everything to win that game and it was [...]
That Fylham game still rankles me, you know, because it feels like even if we'd have sneaked by with a 2-1 and that goal at the end of the game that was chalked off for VAR would have stood, we'd be in a pretty decent position right now. We'd be on a winning streak in [...]
That, eventually, was a jolly nice evening in the end. Don’t get me wrong, we had some perceived wobbles at times and particularly in the first half of yesterday’s ‘scoreline’ hammering of Monaco, we looked like that might be one of those “we’re going to regret missing our chances aren’t we?” kind of games. But [...]
Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]
Went with the brother and Nephew yesterday to the London Stadium to see West Ham play Wolves. The wee man has only ever been once before and so despite the lack of quality on display at The London Stadium (as well as a ball ache of a place to get out of and home), it's [...]
When Mikel Arteta started busting out "best at everything" lines in yesterday's press conference, it immediately invoked Stormzy's 'Shut Up' song and I had to have a little chuckle. I think from the transcript I read from the official site yesterday, there must have been at least half of the questions related to set pieces. [...]
That's three in a row in the Premier League now and after an initially poor / average first half, Arsenal turned it on in the second to secure all three points at home to a United team who are certainly more structurally organised under Amorim than under Ten Haag. The Portuguese manager had said there [...]
BIG game today. Very big game. I touched on it yesterday about how the pundits are pretty much all siding with us and that 'Jones Knows' chat on Sky even went for a 4-1 thrashing. Lawrenson has gone 2-1 Arsenal Sutton has gone for a 3-1 to us. We should beat them. We have a better [...]
