As news filtered through from a few random media outlets in Italy that Juventus had entered the fray in relation to the purchase of a certain Gonzalo Higuain, I found myself talking with Giles about the very real prospect of us leaving it until the last minute, then going out and buying a Loic Remyesque striker. [...]
Quiet. All so very quiet. So quiet in fact, that the press are even giving up on rumours it seems, because Draxler/Higuain are the only names I saw banded about on NewsNow when I had a check earlier. So we find ourselves having to look at alternative things to talk about, with my mind wandering [...]
Howdy howdy fellow Gooners, hopefully you're enjoying what has been of your Saturday so far. Can I make a bit of a confession? I seem to be one of the few people on the planet who finds the whole Iceland hand slapping chant a little bit awkward and uncomfortable, when done by anyone else other [...]
I've been up in the North East of the country at the weekend, which has meant travelling down south yesterday by far and only being able to catch the games on the radio, which inevitably meant that there were more goals and excitement in every half yesterday compared to the shower of the proverbial that [...]
I could really do without more stories about Jamie Vardy and Arsenal now, y'know? The latest one we have to endure is that he wasn't convinced That Arsenal's possession-based football would suit him. I kinda get that, to be honest, but I am surprised that he doesn't feel confident enough in his own ability to [...]

So as we hit the midway point in the working week for many (like me), we're still no closer to finding out what the situation is with Jamie Vardy, with the latest rumours coming from the press that a decision will not be made just yet. Apparently he wants to focus on the Euro's. I [...]
So, in classic Arsenal style, we've been inadvertently drawn into another transfer saga. One in which, if we're all honest, shouldn't even be something that we're talking about. Jamie Vardy has done all of his talking, he's had offer and counter offer in this unusually public courtship for Arsenal, now he finds himself with a [...]
Over the weekend I didn't really have time to compile any thoughts with what happened with the breaking Vardy news which started on Friday lunchtime, so I thought I'd add some thoughts in now, albeit slightly delayed and probably nothing you haven't thought of read about somewhere else (way to 'sell' the blog to your [...]
Today I embark on a journey that will see me climb the UK's three biggest 'peaks' (although I have some kiwis in my team that assure me that they're just 'inclines' - they would know I guess) in the space of 24 hours and, if you were to see the amount of paraphernalia I have [...]
