Yesterday evening The Management and I went out for an evening stroll in the crisp London air and after discussions about returning to work, I was given one of the greatest gifts one could get as a working man: an extra days leave. Well, I am seeing it as that, because I didn't realise that [...]
I found yesterday's game a strange one to digest and think about, in terms of formulating some post-match blog thoughts for this Monday morning. Strange because whilst we got the job done by getting the three points, we weren't convincing at all in patches, but by the same token I didn't think Bournemouth were that [...]
Victories for Liverpool, City and Chelski yesterday mean that today's game against Bournemouth isn't one that we can really afford to be buggering up this afternoon. Yes, it was hilarious to see Spurs' dreams of going the season unbeaten go down the khazi, but when you look at the table this morning and see that [...]
After Jack Wilshere was quoted admitting he's not sure if he'll play for Arsenal again, I've been thinking over the last day or so: What would it take for him to play for Arsenal again? It's an interesting question because I don't think it's as black or white as some people make out. Some suggest [...]
The aim of yesterday was to get a win, by hook or by crook, so with that firmly front and centre within my own thoughts this morning you have to say that the team achieved its primary objective. Secondary objectives of playing well, scoring loads of goals and 'wowing' everyone watching, were simple 'nice to [...]
In this - quite frankly mad - season, it seems strange that with us eight points from the top of the league, there still remains hope. But Leicester's win at the Etihad has done exactly that, strangely, because if it was City, Chelski or United that had just established such an assailable lead, we would [...]
There's no place better to start today than with the u-turn by Arsenal yesterday evening on the surcharge for ticket prices, announcing that they would not, on this occasion, enforce the charge for the Barcelona game. Funnily enough, I was actually halfway through a podcast talking about the issues of the surcharge and how it felt [...]
I had a race against time to get down for the match, after spending Christmas up north with The Managements family, so didn't manage a pre-game blog. But it's always a worthwhile journey when Arsenal win, so I'm glad I got up early and I'm even more glad we won, after the poor performance on [...]
