That, last night, was a disgrace. Everything was wrong about yesterday. The mangers decision to play Ospina, the lethargy in the team performance, the slow build up, all of it was appalling and I hope the players are having a serious word with themselves today. Before a goal was even scored, my colleagues for the [...]
Mattieu Flamini to Galatasaray and Wojciech Szczesny to Roma on a one year deal, it seems, if the rumours across multiple newspapers and on radio shows are to be believed. Firstly the Flamster who, if we're all honest, probably knew his time was up at the club. The fact we're picking up a fee for [...]
So yesterday, after all of the speculation, endless retelling of his impending arrival and all-round media bluster, Arsenal confirmed that Petr Cech was officially an Arsenal player. I, like you, am very pleased. I'll talk a little bit about the signing in a sec, but as I chewed the fat with a fellow Gooner in [...]
With all the talk of new signings and the like so far this summer, I seem to have completely forgotten about some of the existing players whose future is in the air for the opposite reasons, i.e. they'll most likely be shipped out of the club. So with Lukas Podolski admitting that his Italian adventure [...]
Bit of a mega-delayed post today and, believe it or not, it's not got anything to do with my concoction of Sagres, Vinho Verde and fine ruby Port I drunk yesterday. My Wi-Fi was being a little temperamental so I had to come away and come back again. Such is life I suppose. The big [...]
It seems that we're in full flow on the transfer tittle-tattle-go-round, which means the happiest people to be are journalists, because they are the ones who have all of the attention. This time of year must be on their objectives or something, because the self-promoting and exposure-grabbing knows no bounds. If there's a meeting of [...]
I must process to you, dear friend, that when Wojciech Szczesny first started to break into the Arsenal team, I thought we had a goalkeeper for life, if not at least the next ten years. He appeared to have all of the correct attributes to make it as one of the best. He was at [...]
It's Friday, the week has nearly met its maker, but more importantly we're less than 24 hours until FA Cup final Matchday. Much like when Arsène said that he still gets the same buzz as last year and every other time we've won a trophy under his tenure, the cup tomorrow feels as exciting and [...]
Well that's it for the Premier League for another season and what a way to finish the season. A hat trick from an unexpected source, a wonder goal for Jack that hijacks goal of the season by Arsenal fans (don't you just love our club's online presence?) on Match of the Day, as well as [...]
I do like FA Cup weekend. Especially when a load of teams I would traditionally 'fear' have been knocked out in the previous round. Now, if only Preston and Palace can do me a big flavour and do the business against United and Liverpool respectively, then the FA Cup will become super awesome. Of course, [...]
