What is it about Goodison Park, eh? What is it about Everton? What is it about playing them when they are in their worst run of form and then somehow contriving to lose to a team that we should be able to swat to one side? I don't have the answers I'm afraid, but yesterday's [...]
I am a lot more nervous about this game than I thought I would be, you know. I thought that this Everton team have looked ragged all season, they have disgruntled fans turning on the club and its ownership, there was talk about protests going on during the game, plus more. Before the Premier League [...]
So here we are folks. This has to be one of the WORST days of the footballing calendar: January Transfer Deadline Day. Honestly, it is like how the big retailers love Valentines Day because it fills the void between Christmas and Easter and means that they get to eek out a little more from the [...]
Morning fellow Gooners, hope you're all well on this Sunday morn. It feels a little quiet waking up today in the Arsenal world, after the game on Friday and also the release of information about our £60million Caicedo bid. I am in Northumberland at the moment and I spent a lot of time yesterday with [...]
Matchday it is and I have to tell you, rather than the usual trepidation I feel ahead of a massive game, I am more excited for this one. Honestly, I really am! I think it is because - as I've said all week - this is priority number three on our list and regardless of [...]
Football is a heck of a lot of fun sometimes...in the end. Riddle me this: is there anything in the world more satisfying than a last minute winner? If there is then I haven't experienced it yet, because what we were treated to under the lights last night was an exhilaration that just can't be [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to matchday 19. We're at the halfway point in the season for our lads and apart from if we were playing City today, you won't find a sterner test than playing United this afternoon, so it's time to put the game faces on and do everything we possibly can to get [...]
It's funny how when you're team is really good, you start looking at the league table, permutations and therefore as a result start taking interest in other teams' games. Last season of course I did that as we chased down top four, but I don't think I started looking so forensically at the table as [...]
Morning Gooners, how are we doing on this Tuesday morn? It's a cold one out there in London, but thankfully the warming glow of three points in the North London Derby is still keeping you insulated if you are facing some chilly weather out there. And if you're reading this from a nice warm climate [...]
Well good morning to you, fellow - very happy - Gooner! I'd pretty much downed tools on the ol' blog front on account of getting up late every morning in a beautiful tropical island and just wanting to drink cocktails and sit by the pool, but having arrived yesterday just as the game was in [...]
