We're nearly there folks. International football is nearly in our rear view mirror. Well, for at least month, that is. But it appears on face value as though this latest round of games as been positive, so let's run through who did what, shall we? Starting off with the mid-morning kick off our time with [...]
I think we're going to get to the point in which, despite having stockpiled a billion players over the summer, this squad is soon going to start looking thin. Such is the curse with injuries we are getting, with Odegaard now rumoured to be out until after the next international break in November, that if [...]
How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]
Morning folks - happy Saturday n all that Jazz. Well, probs not for poor ol' Viktor Gyokeres, whose Sweden side were beaten 2-0 by a Granit Xhaka-fuelled SWitzerland side at home yesterday evening. I had a little look on Sofascore at how he got on and they rated him as a 7.2, so he can't [...]
With the interlull now upon us, I'm minded to start looking ahead to the few week's after this interminable international break has concluded because frankly, I have zero interest in seeing what England side has been patched together because Liverpool, Chelsea, United and City have all withdrawn players with minor 'injuries'. On the Same Old [...]
To continue the theme for this season, which feels like a bit of a hangover from last season's luck, we find ourselves once again asking: Are we not allowed nice things? Arsenal confirmed that Martin Odegaard had suffered medial collateral ligament damage on Saturday with his clash of knees in the game against West Ham. [...]
I watched the Chelsea versus Liverpool game on the tube home from The Arsenal last night, then finished off the second half in my kitchen as I cooked a big juicy ribeye steak and as well as being the result we all wanted, the game itself was a proper good game of basketball football. Liverpool [...]
Matchday Saturday, a 3pm kick-off, a game in which you'd normally be expecting Arsenal to pick up all three points against a struggling West Ham side and yet, here we all are, a little nervous about history repeating itself. Mikel was asked yesterday what he felt about the fact that Arsenal had lost 50% of [...]
Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]
It's funny how the rapid nature of football ('A week is a long time..' and all that) can work for you and against you, isn't it? I went to bed last night and as I started to drift off, I was thinking about what a big and positive result the game on Sunday was, because [...]
