This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]
I know there will be bigger challenges for this Arsenal team to overcome this season and I know that Crystal Palace are on a wretched run of form that sees them winless in 2023, but gosh darnit, it this crucial stage of the season this Arsenal team keep overcoming the hurdles put in front of [...]
Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]
After 30 minutes of the game yesterday I glanced over to the touchline. Sean Dyche was there in his technical box, stood still, arms folded, looking on. I couldn't see his face from where I sit, but I could make a pretty educated guess as to what the expression was: pleased. He'd sent his charges [...]
Happy Friday folks! Hope you're planning on having a good'un. I know I am - I'm off to The Emirates for a VIP stadium Tour that The Management bought me for my birthday last year. Yep, it's a stadium tour guided by none other than Lee Dixon, then a slap up three course meal with [...]
Life comes at you fast. And football comes at you faster. Bear with me on this today - it might be a long ol' blog, because there's so much to unpick from yesterday and the last week in general. One week ago I was sat here tapping away at my computer, penning some thoughts about [...]
Football is a heck of a lot of fun sometimes...in the end. Riddle me this: is there anything in the world more satisfying than a last minute winner? If there is then I haven't experienced it yet, because what we were treated to under the lights last night was an exhilaration that just can't be [...]
Morning friends, hope we're all good today, a day which for many of us will be the first back from the Christmas period after yesterday's bank holiday. I spent yesterday tidying away Christmas decorations and sorting the house out after the Christmas and New Year carnage, then in the evening decided to flick on the [...]
First and foremost - happy new year to you all. This is a slightly delayed match review post, on account of the fact that yesterday I wanted to do nothing more than lie on the sofa and slowly vegetate. But having watched the game on New Year’s Eve and seen all of the results so [...]
Morning you wonderful humans, you, and a Merry Christmas one and all! Yesterday I had a lovely afternoon with my family around my brothers house. My nephew greeted me at the front door with a big smile on his face, wearing the West Ham third kit, followed up by a few volleys of "we're gonna [...]
