We football fans are a curious breed, aren't we? I find myself today thinking about superstition. I'm not a superstitious person myself. I have no problem walking over three drains, I'll never salute a magpie, nor will stepping underneath a window cleaners ladder straddling a path cause me to deviate. Yet when it comes to [...]
Well that's it for the Premier League for another season and what a way to finish the season. A hat trick from an unexpected source, a wonder goal for Jack that hijacks goal of the season by Arsenal fans (don't you just love our club's online presence?) on Match of the Day, as well as [...]
So it appears that it's not just football in which there are some 'boring boring' tactics used, as Floyd Mayweather decided that yesterday he'd rather celebrate the equivalent of a 0-0 to beat Manny Pacquiao by winning on points in what I am reading from people on social media, was more of a snugglefest from the American. I'm [...]
After Chelski's win yesterday all but confirmed them as Champions, I'm preferring to look on the positive side of life, rather than accept that evil has prevailed this Premier League season. For example, when Chelski beat Crystal Palace this weekend (and we know they will with Palace safely tucked away in mid table), there will [...]
So how about that then, and Arsenal/Liv....oh...Come on now, hands up who legitimately thought that Aston Villa would be the victor in the other cup semi final yesterday? Certainly not me and certainly not the English press. That guy you always see carving the name of the team on the trophy was already at 'pool' [...]
At the weekend we managed to chalk up our fifth consecutive win, albeit against a very Pony and Trap Aston Villa side, so it would be very churlish to poo-poo your side when they score five (sexy) goals against a fellow premier league team. We've come up against equally poor sides and not given them [...]
Don't really know what I was worried about yesterday. Perhaps I'd read too much into the various pre-game tactical analysis about Villa, coupled it with the reappearance of the worst ref in the league Antony Taylor, then rebooted a few old memories of past discrepancies against our Midland opponents yesterday. I probably should have looked [...]
I was in a good mood at the start of the weekend. I still kinda am, actually, but there's a few things that have made me ever-so-slightly 'harrumph' in the last 24 hours, if I'm honest. The first was upon listening to the always excellent Arsecast, in which I heard that Antony Taylor will be [...]
Arsene took on the press yesterday and, as expected I suppose given our form and the announcement of a signing to talk about in the shape of Gabriel, he was in quite a jovial mood. I must say, it is much more preferable to me when everyone is a little bit more happier. I think [...]
