Howdy folks and welcome to another working week. Monday's are always made a little more easier after The Arsenal get a win and despite the fact that the Scum also beat West Ham to move to within three points of us, I am still in confident enough and happy enough mood. Don't get me wrong, [...]
Am super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. Whereas I accepted the reality and realism of the defeat to Liverpool both prior and post the game itself, this one feels like there's much more pressure on the team, oddly enough. It feels like we need to get something from this game and [...]
I described last night's game as a 'free hit' beforehand and, as much as I was prepared to lose the game against I think kthe best team in the world right now, it still hurts when the truth like that becomes reality. We can certainly take some solace in the performance and when you look [...]
The way in which I try to temper my own intensity and nervousness over a football game is usually to start at the lowest base point and work upwards. What I mean by that is that in my head, if I start at the point in which my expectations are that we will lose and [...]
I'm super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. I think the reason why is because I fear what Leicester can do to us on the counter attack. They feel to me like a team absolutely geared up to smash and grab us and whilst their defence is nowhere near as resolute as [...]

Yesterday morning I wrote that I didn't think Watford would be pushovers; they don't score a lot of goals but Roy Hodgson is a manager who has [...]
I've seen some of the rumours for the last few weeks about Arteta and the fact his contract is up at the end of next season, with people speculating on whether he should get a new one. Then today I have seen a couple of articles suggesting he'll be getting one of those "BUMPER PAY [...]
I write this blog every morning and usually I write my body of content first, then try to think of a headline that summarises the blog I've just written. But occasionally, very rarely, I start with the title of the blog and take it from there. Today is such an occasion because after watching Emile [...]
In the build up to the game in the pub beforehand, I was with Andrew, Neil and Jason and I spoke to the guys about how much I wanted the revenge for the first game of the season. Brentford caught us out with a physical display, on opening day, with players missing and then afterwards [...]
This morning I stumbled downstairs in my usual half awake state, opened the fridge, got out my berry smoothie I have for breakfast, then flicked open my social media and news feeds on my phones to see what is happening in the world. Do you now what the first piece of speculation was that I [...]
