An uninspiring 0-0 draw against Slovakia finally got us to see Jack for an extended period of time yesterday, but sadly, I don't think we'll get to see the real Jack Wilshere throughout this tournament. He looked a little off the pace to me. Dwelling on the ball a little too much, misplacing passes and [...]
I had an absolute skinful on Saturday night at a friends BBQ, which was followed yesterday by an all-day football tournament, hence why I wrote off writing anything until this morning. Bt what did I learn from the football I've watched since then? Well, firstly, England have taken up the Spurs'ing mantle. What with bottling [...]
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 apparently there was an England game on last night. I didn't pay any attention to it if I'm honest, as I was at a comedy club in Bethnal Green, but Wilshere got some more minutes on his belt and I've seen the online media give a wide-ranging synopsis of Jack's performance, from 'uninspiring' to [...]
With the domestic football season now winding down to its conclusion, we're left with just the scraps of international friendlies to spend our time talking about, which is never ideal. On Saturday I went for a nine mile hike across Box Hill in Surrey and I spent a bit of time with a Chelski fan [...]
At present I find myself typing today's blog from a hotel room in Dubai. It means I won't get to the game today, but I will be watching it from a Sports Bar round the corner. Why is any of this significant? Well, I've been to Dubai before just once, in May 2012. I missed [...]
Yesterday Arsene gave an update on the players available at the weekend and wouldn't you know it, for the first time since the end of last season, everyone suddenly seems fully fit. Isn't that just the most Arsenal news of all time? Three matches before the end of the season, when everything is done and [...]
Oh gawd. That Liverpool result last night, eh? Cue the media hyperbole and fallacy of 'special night at Anfield' rubbish. Cue the banners like that uber-cringe one that says Anfield is not in England, it is its own country. Cue talk of a historic team who defy the odds and are more special than any [...]
Genuine question there that I'd love to get some comments on from anybody tuning in today. We've had the Champions League come and go (which to be honest most of us must have thought that would happen anyway after the draw), we've seen a chance for FA Cup glory melt away after a lacklustre home [...]
An early kick off today means that in but a few hours, we will know if Arsenal's league title fate is all but over, or still flickering with life. A trip to Upton Park has rarely been so daunting: West Ham have dispatched nearly all of the top teams in the Premier League at home, [...]
