Morning folks, been a while, eh? Sorry I haven't really been on the ol' blog much of late. The whole Covid-19 stuff has not only meant that it has been a barren wasteland in terms of football - specifically The Arsenal - content to digest, but it has also meant that work has ensured i've [...]
Morning folks, hope all is good with you, during this isolation period which is increasingly feeling like a widespread household arrest we're all involved in at the moment. The Sainsbury's supermarket opposite me is doing my nut in though. I'm not a queuer. I simply refuse. Whenever there's a queue I get The Management to [...]
So, we have ourselves an enforced two week hiatus from The Arsenal, as yesterday the Premier League confirmed that the league will shut down until 4th April. It’s an admission of just how serious the Coronavirus is from a contagious point of view and I don’t think there are many people out there who would [...]
It's match day and a match day in which I'm not particularly fond of if i'm honest. West Ham home or away represents a bit of a drawing of family lines on my side of the family as my brother, nephew and loosely speaking my dad, are all Hammers fans. So much like the North [...]
That was a disgrace of a performance last night. It was an example in arrogance and this morning I am still pretty raw with rage from what I saw last night. Because what I saw was an Arsenal team that broke one of the fundamental laws of any kind of competition: Never underestimate your opponent. [...]
There's been a few media rumblings about how Arteta has only won two of his seven games in charge as Arsenal manager. It's stat loading where its not necessary but if it gives somebody an angle they'll take it. Which is why there will be another round of journos and writers chucking in the fact [...]
Perhaps inevitably, with Torreira out in Uruguay for his national team, we have him talking to the national Uruguayan press and in the early hours of this morning we got some translated snippets of him echoing the words of his agent. Quite often you find the agent playing the 'bad guy' so the player doesn't [...]
It's gettin' mighty cold in these here parts, I have to say, although I'm pleased that I didn't have to venture out much. Had I wanted to I'd probably have swung by the away end at the Tiny Totts stadium, because the Arsenal ladies were there to serve up a victory against them in the [...]
It's the international break and although we all needed some time away from the tripe that Arsenal have been serving us up of late, these periods of time are still boring as hell, it has to be said. Step forward Bellerin's agent to spice it up a bit, eh? Or Torreira's people clearly giving briefings [...]
Granit Xhaka thinks that what Patrice Evra said on Monday night football was 'bullshit'. I think the performance of him and his teammates was bullshit. I think the energy, intensity and structure of the team on Monday was bullshit. I think the side selection and tactical set up against a newly promoted team was bullshit. [...]
