Well how about that for a performance from the players yesterday, eh? Six goals, none in reply from Lyon and a table-topping performance at The Emirates Cup 2015. The trophy's in the bag, folks, the trophy's in the bag. Of course we all know this is a friendly and if we were to face Lyon [...]

We're ready. I believe it. The players now believe it. I believe them.

A combination of a heavy night's drinking on Thursday, coupled with centre court tickets to Wimbledon on Friday, conspired to prohibit me from blogging yesterday. But in true 'they're all agin me!' style, the fates decided that they should release some interesting quotes from players and some good pictures for me to look at on [...]

This is it people. Cup final day. It's hard to effectively communicate the significance of today to anybody who isn't a football fan, or even isn't a fan whose team is in the final, but this is season defining. And I mean that with no sense of hyperbole at all. By 10pm tonight we will [...]

It's Friday, the week has nearly met its maker, but more importantly we're less than 24 hours until FA Cup final Matchday. Much like when Arsène said that he still gets the same buzz as last year and every other time we've won a trophy under his tenure, the cup tomorrow feels as exciting and [...]

So who'da thunk that FIFA were a corrupt collection of cheating no-good-for-nothing's, eh? Then, quelle surprise, who'da thought that Sepp would persist with the FIFA elections to ensure his dictatorship remains for another however many years, by not postponing the election process after this latest set of troubles? Well, everybody, actually. Even Arsene had his [...]

I really feel like keeping this blog to one line reading: "For an analysis of last night's game, see the Swansea game, only Sunderland didn't have the killer touch that the team from Wales had" It felt exactly the same, almost, didn't it? I mean, you had a team who essentially decided that the perfect [...]

A lovely midweek game to keep us occupied tonight, how thoughtful of The Arsenal to get so far in the FA Cup and ensure this fixture was moved to a midweek, where we would have something to talk about. And that something appears to be how likely Arsene is to shuffle his deck a little [...]
