It's Christmas Eve, I've already begun The Fattening, and yesterday we had Arsene give an update on the latest team news ahead of West Brom at home on Boxing Day. And after a pretty stinky time of late, it appears there was a bit of Christmas cheer to be had from the press conference, in the [...]
So, ol' Pards has been sacked by Palace, eh? Normally this kind of news wouldn't be drawing too much attention from your humble narrator here, but given who's been linked with a move to Palace as his replacement, I'll admit to it averting my attention. If Allardyce gets the job, it means We'll have Pulis [...]
I don't know if it's because there's no football on this weekend meaning that we've had to endure that unpalatable taste of a poor performance for longer than usual, or whether it's the fact that it's the last working week before Christmas, but it really has dragged for me. It's self-inflicted though. Whenever Arsenal lose [...]
Happy Wednesday to you. Hope it's a good one where you are. Me, I've still got a couple more days of work to go before the festivities can commence, so I'm still in work mode unfortunately. What I am doing though, is starting the process of eating like an absolute glutton, which means plenty of [...]
Alright? How you feeling today? Still reeling from the sheer lack of application from our players on Sunday? I sort of am. To tell you the truth, I'm quite glad we've got a bit of a wait before the next game, because it'll hopefully allow absence to make the ol' heart grow fonder. It's fair [...]
I don't like having to write thoughts like this after a game like yesterday, but you can't exactly call yourself a daily blogger, if you tap out when you have to endure performances like yesterday. Because tapping out was pretty much what the players did against Man City, wasn't it? That was a shameful performance. [...]
I've been doing a bit of the old Christmas boozing of late, so have had a few days away from composing some morning thoughts, but I find myself in a bit of need to talk about Arsenal again this morning, because today's game against City really is a massive one. As expected, Chelski picked up [...]
As expected, literally none of the 'smaller' teams playing against those in the top six were able to cause an upset yesterday evening, which pretty much makes this latest round of matches this midweek as a disaster for us in terms of how the table unfolded. But it's a disaster the isn't one from which [...]
Yesterday I said that Arsenal needed to nullify the threat of Lukaku in order to secure the points away to Everton. What I neglected to mention is that they also needed to put in the required performance to deserve a victory. Perhaps I've taken that for granted recently. We'd been unbeaten since the start of [...]
The best thing about yesterday's Champions League draw was it's timing. Because the fact that we have a game on this evening, means that we can spend as little time talking about it as possible, which is a-ok for me. We got Bayern. We always get Bayern. The Champions League draw is boring. The end. [...]
