I'd like to say that youd have to give an almighty Nelson Muntz'esque 'ha-ha!' to Spain, after their defeat to Croatia yesterday, but after watching pockets of the game in between making a late dinner and eating said dinner, I've come to a different conclusion. Croatia are actually quite good. They did England/Sp*rs up their [...]
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 [...]
So, some congratulations are in order for a certain Hector Bellerin, who yesterday became one of ten Arsenal internationals to be selected for the Euro's. It is clear reward for a guy who has not only established himself in the Arsenal team as a regular, but shown that he's one of - if not the [...]
So it seems the wheels are properly in motion for Granit Xhaka to be joining the club, after multiple outlets confirmed his impending arrival for a medical, with the most reliable David Ornstein going as far as to say it's on the verge of completion. This is good moves by the club and by Arsene. [...]
Hello Saturday, my old friend, how are you feeling? Happy St George's Day to you, although you wouldn't really know it, what with nobody in England making a massive fuss over it. Or at least making it a national holiday. Hopefully well enough for you to grant me a relatively uneventful journey up to the [...]
Well, yesterday was a bit more fun, wasn't it? Four goals, dominant throughout, an Arsenal team with fluidity and movement and some very promising performances. Yessir, we can all be happy after a game like that, can't we? And yet, despite my pleasure at being able to actually watch Match of the Day yesterday evening, [...]
Howdy fellow Arsenal fan. I hope you are well on a Saturday and haven't been as morose as me this week, what with us being knocked out of two competitions and barely clinging on for dear life in our final one, the Premier League. I have been pretty down since pretty much the United game [...]
With Monreal the man of the moment, having just signed a new deal with the club, it seems churlish of me to talk about anything other than our Basque left back. Of course I am pleased and delighted that one of our most consistent performers of the season will be at the club with a [...]
Where to even begin with the shower of the proverbial that we witnessed from Arsenal yesterday, eh? I mean seriously, I have no idea where to even start. Nothing went right. We played terribly. Then, even with most of the 90 minutes of tripe we had to sit through, we still get handed a lifeline [...]
Please forgive me if I end up jinxing the outcome of today's game, but this match today feels very much like the Swansea game of a few weeks ago, in which we had some very difficult moments but ended up winning comfortably away in South Wales. I'm not saying that I think we'll win today [...]
