Happy Monday folks. Hope you're all fine and dandy given the international break boredom we are all collectively enduring right now. I mean it really is a snooze fest, eh? I'm not sure how anyone can claim to have any interest in it at this time of the year. Especially if you're an Arsenal fan. [...]
Morning all and welcome to another pre season weekday, with the main story on everyone's lips being the French victory against Croatia yesterday in which Olivier Giroud got his hands on the World Cup, and as a collective it seems most Arsenal fans couldn't be happier for him. He's had one heck of a journey [...]
The World Cup is now we'll and truly underway and despite the fact I've only really watched bits and pieces so far - because of a busy weekend for me in the real world - there's already been plenty to talk about and that's certainly a good thing. On Friday night I watched the second [...]
Last night as Wales' World Cup Qualifying campaign drew to a close I spared a thought for poor ol' Aaron Ramsey. A good player who should probably be somebody who gets to showcase his skills at a World Cup finals, was denied victory by the reprobate that is James McClean, a player who I think [...]
Another day in to the summer off season and it's yet more transfer related news from Arsenal, but this time it's a juicy bit of 'acquisition' we can talk of and yes, I did the 'YouTube' thing on Kolasinac yesterday. I have no shame. He looks good though, doesn't he? Real good. A strong unit [...]
Watching Germany last night had a very familiar feel to it, as an Arsenal fan, I must say. Plenty of possession, control of the ball in the most part, finding it difficult to break down the opposition, then when you do you come across a 'keeper who decides he's going to have a 'worldie'. So [...]
So the Welsh dragon had its wings clipped and its fire doused yesterday, by the Portuguese who were it not for Ronaldo, would probably be liked by a lot more neutrals. That guy really is a narcissistic tosser, isn't he? I mean just look at that self-gratifying celebration where he turns around to show his [...]
Huh. How about that? When you put a half decent team with a bit of effort, against a small team with limited technical ability, the outcome is a resounding win for the technically better team. I never would have guessed... So as I turn down my sarcasm filter, I think it's important to see just [...]
Yesterday I partook in some boating with the family, then I went to a quiz night which felt more like when my mum used to drag me along to her polymath evenings she did back when she was teaching, so I am very thankful that today's technology allowed me to watch Germany versus Italy instead [...]
Despite being much maligned by, it seems, most fanbases, I must say I found it satisfying to see Olivier Giroud get his Euro2016 tournament underway, last night in Paris. We all know his limitations. We all know that an over-reliance on him has cost us over recent years, but what his goal and performance showed [...]
