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 [...]
Morning gooners, how we feeling today, eh? Are we feeling good? Chipper? Looking forward to the festive period? Mine starts today and I'm off work until 3rd January, so the probability of my usual earlier morning chuntering on is likely to be replaced by a slightly belated service. Especially after I start tucking in to [...]
Well, we now know who the four are in the World Cup semi final, as Morocco stunned everyone to beat Portugal, as France managed to overcome England in the evening game. The Morocco result is just another example of how this World Cup has continued to enthral and excite and despite the fact they have [...]
Blimey, how about that for a couple of quarter finals yesterday, eh? Clearly both Brazil and Croatia, as well as Argentina and The Netherlands, were watching the Dubai Super Cup the other day and thought "do you know what? We fancy a go at that 'penalties after the match' kinda vibe". What a pull our [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing? Feeling good? Did you watch our Starboy Saka shine for England last night? I certainly did! What a talent we have on our hands, eh? The goal was a well worked one and Foden's ball in to Saka to secure England's third was brilliant, but his flick over Mendy [...]
Just when I was starting to really enjoy this World Cup and international football, a timely reminder was dealt to me this morning as I scrolled through my Twitter timeline and read the news about Gabriel Jesus' injury: Three months out instead of three weeks, as he'll probably need surgery. I've said it before and [...]
I have a confession to make. It is a confession that I never thought I'd ever have to acknowledge. But yesterday afternoon, it actually happened, and now I don't know what is happening with the world: I actually enjoyed watching an England match. I have trained myself to expect nothing but turgid, laborious, slow and [...]
