Morning all. An utter scorcher in London today means i'll be basking myself all afternoon in a garden in Hertfordshire today methinks, as my Pa rustles me up some piri-piri chicken and maybe a sausage or two. I wonder what Wilfred haha is doing? If you believe the press he's probably phoning up Roy Hodgson [...]
Sadly I had a feeling we were due a performance from Arsenal at home like we got yesterday. Lethargic, leggy and lackadaisical with some absolutely comical defending that really gifted Palace all three points yesterday. Unai Emery rotates once again and I'm came Jenkinson, Mavropanos and Mustafi in defence, followed by a midfield duo of [...]
Today is going to be a tough game. We're at the point in the season where there are many aching limbs, we're missing key players, plus those that are fit are being patched up and sent out twice a week and expected to get results. Today is no different and after Man City just about [...]
Happy Easter Saturday to you. I do like Easter Saturday. Despite not being particularly religious, I do - for the sake of the in-laws family - observe the 'no booze' rule on 'Good-but-should-be-called-rubbish Friday' and being up in the North East I always find myself craving a beer. So yesterday was a tough one. But [...]
So no favaoirs have been done by any teams this week in relation to picking up points from our rivals and that means that yesterday we slipped down to sixth with the Totts on 67 points, Chelski on 66 and United in fifth on 64. We're one behind them on 63 and it just serves [...]
Today is a blog of, ultimate lunch, frustration I'm afraid. It's frustration because that wonderful winning run that we've been on came to an end away to Crystal Palace, but also it's frustration about the way in which it happened. There were a a few factors involved in the way I feel this morning: The [...]
Howdy folks and welcome to another matchday. A matchday in which the possibility of winning 12 on the bounce is very real and yet at the same time I find myself exceedingly nervous that we could completely bugger up today's game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. I don't know what it is; perhaps it's [...]
The Thursday night footballery that we saw means that this is another Saturday with which we all spend collectively with our families and friends. I'm going to the Royal Mail Postal museum. But it does also mean that we get to have a bit of a digesting session on Unai Emery's words which, if I'm [...]
After an 11th consecutive victory we really should be getting any minor niggles and parking them right now I think, but it's hard to completely ignore them, so I'll quickly get them out of the way first and then we can start to talk about the good stuff. Sporting Lisbon are - let's face it [...]
If you're going to describe the perfect start to a football match then you'd pretty much just re-run the opening 30 minutes of yesterday's win against Crystal Palace. It was goals, goals, goals. And I loved it. The nerves were there for all to see pre match and as I sunk a few pints round [...]
