With the Bayern game on tomorrow night, we should get a Mikel Arteta press conference with one of the players this evening, and I wonder if the media narrative and fainting couch approach by the English mainstream media translate to European competition? I've seen a few bits and bobs from yesterday, and what I saw [...]
The second that Chris Kavanagh produced the second yellow card from Gravenberch to effectively end the contest (even though it was still 0-0 at the time), I switched the football off and watched the remainder of Kung Fu Panda 3. There was no point in continuing to watch that farce that was on display. Playing [...]
This Man City stuff is going to dominate the headlines for a while yet, isn't it? Especially given that the City higher-ups are showing no contrition, no remorse, and instead are doubling down on their situation. Their latest 'lever' to pull is to get Etihad Airways involved, who are briefing to the press that they [...]
That was the worst Arsenal performance I've seen in nearly two years. It was so bad that I'd describe my feelings as stunned rather than ragingly angry. Arsenal put in the kind of display yesterday that makes me think that they all went out on the lash on Friday night. Passing was off, movement wasn't [...]
I do not want to hear another word from rival fans - City in particular - about how Arsenal 'get all the decisions' or 'have ProRef in their pockets' after what I witnessed yesterday. "ProRef"....ha! If that isn't the most ironic rebrand you've ever seen... That decision by the VAR yesterday was as bad as [...]
I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Why? Because I was deliberating over whether or not to even apply for the ballot for the Champions League final. How mental is that? I am a season ticket holder. I have been going for decades and have been a season ticket holder for nearly two [...]
I don't really feel I can start anywhere else today other than the third - and what should have been the final penalty call on the night - was given/not given. I don't understand. I am really glad that Mikel Arteta said he was infuriated with the decision, because what I saw last was a [...]
There we just two things that were good about yesterday's performance and result against Southampton: I predicted the line-up spot on Max Dowman Perhaps you could also point to the impact Viktor Gyokeres made from the bench, following up his goals for Sweden with a smartly taken finish to draw us level in that second [...]
Yesterday, I led with the title of the blog: Stop breaking our players. At this point, you just have to laugh. Because the latest guy to return to London Colney is Pierro Hincapie, who limped off against Morocco on 72 minutes, and I have to wonder what the actual eff he was still doing on the [...]
Madueke's withdrawal was expected from the Engaldn Camp. He was pictured leaving the match on Friday in a knee brace, so I don't think anyone was surprised that the outcome was that he'd return back to London Colney. But Saka? And Rice? Apparently, according to the official England Football website, it is for 'medical assessment.' [...]
