Morning folks, how are we all doing then, eh? This weekend I've watched most of that FID+FA documentary and my word, isn't that organisation a real piece of work, eh? And as for that Qatar 2022 bid, blimey, it wasn't exactly the most convincing of tales told by the people behind that bid, that's for [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday - hope we're all feeling grand? In the UK it has somewhat unexpectantly become a bank holiday this weekend because of the Queen's funeral, which means I'm up north visiting the in-laws, looking out on to a crystal clear Northumbrian morning as I type today. It's quite peaceful. I [...]
I watched about 15 minutes of the England game yesterday - enough to see Shaw score for England - before flicking over and watching something else whilst I was cooking. I'm sorry but I just cannot get in to international football until there are the big international competitions and even then I probably only watch [...]
Morning Gooners, did you all watch the mauling of the San Marino Minnows yesterday by England, eh? I have to tell you, I experienced a wide range of emotions yesterday, whilst watching England smash the worst team in the FIFA World Rankings: Joy at the fact we had three Arsenal lads starting for the first [...]
Morning all, how we all doing then, eh? I have a bit of a headache this Monday morning. It's not the kind of selection headache Mikel Arteta seems to have these days (ba-dum, tsch!) but an actual headache caused by sleep depravation on Saturday evening following a rather unhealthy amount of white and red wine [...]
I've kind of gotten used to the fact that a number of our players usually get 'rest' time during the international breaks. We've seen other teams in the league see half of their squads go away, but we've been able to keep plenty of lads back and have them prepare for the next Premier League [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. We have ourselves a new signing! Ok, so we already knew all about it because of today's information age, but it's still nice when it is announced and you see the player himself in an Arsenal shirt declaring that he loves watching 'The Smith' in this current Arsenal team. [...]
Morning all and happy Thursday to you and yours. Last night I sat and watched the England v Denmark game and for the first time in my lifetime the country of my birthday is in a major international football tournament. And this morning I’m realising just how big that is. 55 years have elapsed since [...]
The England team finally understand how to play tournament football with compelling win over Ukraine.
I love that I have a surrogate team for international competitions. I am proud that I've got a little bit of German heritage in me and that when all else fails, usually, I can at least trust on that little bit of Deutsch in mein blut to keep international tournaments interesting through the years. Not [...]
