Now that was your archetypal first game of the season win at home yesterday, right? The excitement was there, the expectation was there, it was a beautifully sunny day in North London and The Arsenal were back. I made my way to the Highbury area with some hope and expectation of good times, but football [...]
With two week's to go until the season kicks off properly, it feels like the countdown to the season opener against Wolves is officially 'on now'. Not just because of the short amount of time left in pre season, but because we've also been treated to pictures of Saka, Saliba, Ramsdale and Rice all returning [...]
It's the final of the Euro's and the Copa America today and that'll see the Spanish against the English and the Argentinians against the Colombians. Both games will, we all hope, be a cracker but obviously being based in Europe myself I'll be watching the English game in the UK, with my parents, brother and [...]
Happy Tuesday folks. Hope we're all good? It starts to get spicy in the Euro's now, with the two semi finals on tonight and whilst I'm pretty sure Spain will win, seeing Big Bill Saliba happy and in to the final would be nice. "See William? You don't NEED to go to Madrid at all [...]
Sometimes - but very rarely - I write the title of the blog before I've even jotted a word down on the page to compile my daily thoughts. Today is one of those days for sure. Bukayo Saka showed why he is England's best player last night. Bukayo Saka showed why Gareth Southgate appeasing Phil [...]
It's all quiet on the Arsenal front, as you'd expect given the time of the year, so I decided this morning to have a poke around the official website and see what's been cooking. And wouldn't you just know it, I missed the noises about Martin Odegaard being awarded our player of the season. And [...]
Happy Saturday folks, hope you're all good? I'm gonna do a bit on Benjamin Sesko in a bit, which is entirely the fault of my mate Steve who I go to football with, because he's been WhatsApping this morning about being invested, having even thought up a song for the potential signing. But before I [...]
Happy Saturday people, from a warm garden in the Algarve. Today I thought I'd have a think and muse about our forward line and, of allof the functions in our side, it's the one that is the most intriguing when you think about how the season unfolded. For the first half of the season I [...]
Football does everything to you. At halftime I went up to our bedroom where The Management was packing away some clothes and I said "that was bloody brilliant". I was beaming from ear-to-ear and she sagely said to me "remember, it's only half time, and we were at Newcastle on that fateful day". I nodded, [...]
I've calmed down a little bit from my initial rage at the final whistle last night. Calmed down, but still not completely calm, because that last moment of the game should have, I think, been a penalty on Bukayo Saka. Let me show my workings here on how I get this conclusion: Neuer makes clear [...]
