I don't know what it is about this Euro's, but I'm finding myself oddly enjoying it, which is a real first for international tournaments. Don't get me wrong, I watch them, follow England and then Germany and to a lesser extent the Dutch, but I never really bother with most of the games, usually because [...]
Morning folks. I don't normally make a habit of signposting people in a different direction to another part of the internet at the beginning of my usual daily ramblings, but I was particularly impressed with this week's Arsecast, in which Andrew and James had a chat about transfers, what's on the horizon (or not as [...]
Bukayo Saka, anyone? Our young protégé did it again last night and showed just why it was probably fanciful to think he'll be given a rest for the summer by not being including in the England squad for the Euro's, by bagging the only goal against Austria and generally looking like he was one of [...]
There's a couple of stories relating to The Arsenal which appear to be getting the most air time at the moment, involving two of our players, although I suspect that one of those two is only really an Arsenal player in name anyway. I am of course starting off today talking about.... Matteo Guendouzi I [...]
Well now folks, this is it, pretty much, for this season, by my reckoning. Fail to perform tonight hand get a win (or a high scoring draw) and Arsenal go out to a team who have just had it confirmed that they have a racist captain and who never really offered much at The Emirates [...]
And now we play the waiting game....That game of course is every Arsenal fan collectively holding our breaths as we wait patiently for either the club, or Arteta, to give us an idea on who is fit and who isn't ahead of a massive game against Slavia Prague tomorrow night. He'll have to tell us [...]
Morning folks and here we are, finally back to a match day, thank gawd. Only it's a match day in which if we're honest probably doesn't have that much riding on it. Liverpool come to town and despite their poor form, they are still a side to be feared and we are a side who [...]
If ever you wanted an example as to why I do not watch international football during the season, it's upon hearing the goalscorers for England's game last night were Harry's Maguire and Kane. No thank you. I'm not bringing myself to cheer for one jailbird and b*llock kicker, or one perennial diver who plays for [...]
Ahh the international breaks - as I like to call them - "time off from football". I have never held any interest whatsoever in these ghastly mid-season periods of pointlessness and whilst some people do indeed get rather excitable over matches played for their chosen country/country of birth, until a major tournament I just couldn't [...]
Before I talk about the game Arsenal are playing today, can I just take this opportunity once again to bemoan the absolute travesty that is the state of refereeing in the Premier League right now. Yesterday's game between West Brom and Brighton involved an incident in which a referee - Lee Mason - decided to [...]
