I can tell you this right now - going for afternoon cakes in house of Sunderland supporters after your team has just put them to the sword by four goals to one - is definitely more preferable than doing it when the result is not in one's favour. Having spoken to The Management's family about [...]
We were well rubbish yesterday, weren't we? I mean, we played a team who were so overawed by the occasion, they tried to camouflage themselves with the pitch by wearing green. I can't believe we only scored six goals yesterday... What a result. Six goals, a hat trick for Mesut, a team that is positively [...]
It's a trip for me and the better half today up to Lancashire to watch The Arsenal take on Burnley at Turf Moor and with City and the Tiny Totts playing each other today, it's also an opportunity to close some ground on now of those teams at least, so we need to take advantage [...]
Morning! Isn't it a rather splendid one today, eh? A rather happy, joyous and delightful Sunday is to be had for all Arsenal fans, methinks. That's what you get from an absolutely barnstorming performance by the team against a side with whom we've had some real problems in seasons past. I must admit, I didn't [...]
Ahh match day, that sweetest of things and whilst I can't make the game itself today because of my current location, I still feel the same levels of excitement when it comes around. Southampton at the Emirates for a 3pm kick off means I'll be watching from an Irish bar in the Algarve, with a [...]
So, it turns out that this Euro's can bring more than just hooliganism and violence in the stands. It can also bring hilarity. Thanks Cristiano. The most narcissistic person at the tournament misses a penalty and the only people who are truly unhappy at that are in the west of Europe at the very edge [...]
So apparently there was an England game on last night. I didn't pay any attention to it if I'm honest, as I was at a comedy club in Bethnal Green, but Wilshere got some more minutes on his belt and I've seen the online media give a wide-ranging synopsis of Jack's performance, from 'uninspiring' to [...]
With the story of Mourinho still dominating the press pages (he would want it no other way), there is little else that the nationals are interested in, so they've put down their rainbow coloured invention pens, focusing on the North for now. I hope that it is the same for the rest of next season. [...]
So it seems the wheels are properly in motion for Granit Xhaka to be joining the club, after multiple outlets confirmed his impending arrival for a medical, with the most reliable David Ornstein going as far as to say it's on the verge of completion. This is good moves by the club and by Arsene. [...]
Well, yesterday was a bit more fun, wasn't it? Four goals, dominant throughout, an Arsenal team with fluidity and movement and some very promising performances. Yessir, we can all be happy after a game like that, can't we? And yet, despite my pleasure at being able to actually watch Match of the Day yesterday evening, [...]
