Morning folks. Another Monday in lockdown. It's a countdown to the Palace game on Thursday and as you'd probably expect given the game is four days away, which means most people arse still worrying themselves with transfer noises, which I too am not immune to. We've seen the Buendia stuff come and go, there's been [...]

Should Arsenal be happy with a point in mitigating circumstances?

By |2020-01-12T09:44:48+00:00January 12th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Morning from a bright but cold Belfast. It's a weekend away for the wife's birthday and so yesterday's lunchtime kick off and the fact we were out and about meant I didn't actually get to watch the game in full yesterday, but I followed what was happening and saw a few of the key moments [...]

Morning folks from a relatively wet Belfast, in which I'm treating The Management to a birthday weekend away to see the giant's causeway. It means I'm not sure if I'll get time to watch The Arsenal but I'll have to see if I can find a pub to watch it in at some stage I'm [...]

I believe Arteta and his ‘like a new signing’ rhetoric

Morning folks - happy Friday n'all that jazz. Right, let's get down to it, because it was press conference Thursday yesterday and he addressed the assembled media. The good news is that the first thing he said was that he's given a few more ideas to the players following a first full week of training [...]

Poor performances all round becoming the norm – Palace profit

So much to talk about this morning! Unfortunately, very little is positive, so whilst I'm not sure I'll get through everything in this tube journey on my way to work, I'll give it my best shot. The performanceWas turgid. Again. We got ourselves into a commanding position with two goals in the first ten minutes [...]

Fearing Crystal Palace at home – what have we become?

I wouldn't say that I'm confident ahead of Arsenal matches at the Emirates. There's always usually the butterflies and when I get into the ground the excitement builds. But I'm never overly confident. But a game like Crystal Palace at home used to be one of those where I'd be thinking "of course we can [...]

Pepe is Unai’s latest ‘get out of jail free’ card against Vitoria SC

I bet that when Unai Emery plays Monopoly with his family back home, he has a little tamper with the 'Chance' cards before they get started, because based on last night's performance against Vitoria Sporting Clube, he's a guy that loves to ride his luck. And it rides him back. As suspected he named a [...]

Ceballos move is shrewd for all parties

Morning all and before I get in to the usual stuff, if you received a barrage of old blogs from me yesterday into your inbox/social media feed, many apologies. The Wordpress app on my phone had a bit of a meltdown - probably because we haven't signed anyone - and suddenly started reposting every blog [...]
