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 [...]
There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone's life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation - loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the [...]
I’ll be honest, I had ‘hopes’ that Everton could get something at home to 115 Charges FC, but I don’t think there was much expectation there. City were on a good run of form, they’ve wine their last three Premier League games, as well as beating us in the League Cup and getting to the [...]
We certainly saw some 'end of season' performances yesterday, eh? With Unai Emery going 'Full Unai' with his team ahead of their home game against Forest on Thursday, Villa put in the kind of performance you expect from an end-of-season team that really are mentally on the beach. That was frustrating from an Arsenal fan [...]
Ahh man, I have a stinking hangover this morning, all caused by The Arsenal. I'm in Portugal and, to try to completely forget about the stress of football, I asked the parents and The Management if we could go out and have a lovely lunchtime meal in Tavira, where my parents' place is. They obliged. [...]
As is our situation right now, you, like I, no doubt, have a very nervous feeling in the stomach. We've been living this way for months, truth be told, so whilst this feeling of dread ahead of every Arsenal game is not new, it doesn't get any easier. I read comments like "Fulham have never [...]
Here we go again. Back at it with the nerves and stress of the Premier League tomorrow, with the managers due to meet the press today and give their updates. As Shakespeare once said in Henry V: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more" It's a grind right now, eh? But a lot [...]
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 [...]
I almost feel guilty for what I am about to write. I don't really feel massively nervous about tonight. It almost feels like a League Cup game. I suspect it is because I've been battered and bruised by the Premier League campaign that the Premier League is the 'one I want' the most, coupled with [...]
The intensity of the end of this season feels mad, eh? On Saturday, I had a knot in my stomach basically up until the moment the final whistle went against Newcastle. The picture of the players all on their haunches also showed that they were feeling similar. But the relentless nature of the end of [...]
