Happy Friday friend. Hopefully you are looking forward to the weekend? I had a moment of weakness yesterday whilst watching Portugal against Poland. I thought "imagine if Lewandowski decided he didn't want to play in England and City, Chelski and United had all played their cards, leaving us open to going for him" and for [...]
Sometimes people do get a little too worried about stuff that they can have absolutely no influence on, don't they? Of course this being an Arsenal blog, and me being somebody who regularly writes about Arsenal related stuff, I've probably shown a few examples of that in the past, but this morning and last night [...]
Having seen the unfancied Italians see off the very much fancied Belgian's last night, my first thoughts (perhaps inevitably) were towards supposed 'big name' players not performing, as well as the hype that surrounds them going in to international tournaments.

He's predicting an Arsenal win, which is nice, irregardless of the context of the game or whether either side can truly be as 'up for it' as a Premier League game. But that's not what drew my attention to write [...]
"You want a striker?" Yes. "You want a striker?" Yes. "YOU WANT A STRIKER?" YES! "FINE! Here's a striker. Now get out of my office!" That's what I imagined Arsène's response to be to those people who are practically gnawing their arms off with the fact we haven't signed a striker yet, after it was [...]
