Wellington, wellington, wellington, how about that for a third round Capital One Cup draw for us, eh? The Spuds at their hovel of a ground. Who da thunk it? At least we'll get to see the youngsters on TV...but wait...how many will we actually see? Because you know that these days we have a squad [...]
Not for the first time this season Liverpool were the beneficiaries of yet more dodgy officiating, yet for the first time this season, we were the beneficiaries of a superb Petr Cech display. Which would probably be the story of the game if you asked me to describe it in a paragraph or less. The [...]
With Chelski and City both picking up the wins that I expected they would yesterday, it adds a wee bit more pressure on us to perform this evening against a Liverpool team who will be buoyed by their own results, if not the way in which they played in those games. Liverpool represent a serious [...]
What did we learn from yesterday's games? That plenty of teams will be as to compete with each other, and this season will be a tough one because of the money in the Premier League improving the quality of a lot of squads. Spuds drawing to Leicester, United being frustrated at home, this season is [...]
Hey there fellow fan, how are you holding up during this barren Arsenal weekend? Any good? I'm feeling your pain, because I feel pretty fed up at the lack of Arsenal too, so we can both be a bit morose with Sky and BT for fudging around with the fixtures. Monday Night Football may give [...]
Last night I woke up just before midnight to the most brain-stabbingly painful headache at the back of my bonce, I thought my head was going to explode like I was on the Mars surface in Total Recall. I suspect it was just my body rejecting the 6,624,253rd rumour about Benzema signing. There's only so [...]
A little while back I wrote a piece about how the Arsenal Youth team can be seen as a little bit of a cash cow in terms of the way the club is run, in that we bring in players, loan them out to get experience and then if they don't make the grade, we [...]
I sporadically tuned in last night to watch Liverpool against Bournemouth in a match that was supposed to be so comically one-sided it wouldn't seem fair. Instead I saw a hard working Bournemouth team treated to some rough luck as Liverpool scored a goal which, under the rules, should not have stood. Talking about decisions [...]
Today is a very important game. Today The Arsenal need three points, because only then will we all breathe a sigh of relief and start talking about the possibility that last weekend's defeat to West Ham was a 'blip' and this Arsenal team can challenge for the league. Quite simply: Premier League winners don't lose [...]
Today is the very definition of 'muggy', with my clothes sticking to me and general uncomfortableness being the feeling for today it seems. I also seemed to have stepped on to an artists impression of Victorian London, because there's fog everywhere, so all I need now is Sherlock Holmes to solve a crime for me [...]
