Happy Thursday y'all! It's technically still summer in the UK but given the drizzle that has engulfed my particular corner of the world, you'd never have guessed it, because it's looking pretty grim. As grim as Carl Jenkinson's hopes of getting out of Football limbo, where he currently resides, too expensive salary-wise to leave Arsenal [...]
Morning folks. It's a muggy old day in England, having been a muggy and rainy day yesterday and so here I sit on the tube, having a look outside on the Metropolitan Line at clouds and circular patches of water on the floor, wondering why the summer has ended so soon in all but the [...]
Yesterday my blog featured a few words and a picture of Joel Campbell, speculating that it's a clean slate for many and that players like Joel might think they have a chance with the new man at the helm, but having watched him in bits and pieces of yesterday's Costa Rica game against England I [...]
It's a week to go and although I'll get into the World Cup when it comes around, it's hard to get too excited about this round of friendlies, especially when they are a right royal pain in my arse when it comes to my journey home. I take the Met Line from Moorgate to Uxbridge [...]
Happy Monday to you and yours. I hope it's a good one. The Algarve remains blisteringly hot and I've taken to eating peaches for breakfast. Speaking of peaches, it was an absolute one which saw Shkodran Mustafi be an unused sub for their 3-0 away victory against Norway yesterday, wasn't it? It would just feel [...]
I didn't get to watch the Arsenal Legends vs Milan Glorie yesterday afternoon, as I was out and about in Portugal with The Management, but I've had a look at the highlights on the official site and I must say, I was quite impressed with the standard of play that was on show from both [...]
It's Monday morning, I'm sat on a Met Line train heading towards London in a three piece suit, and it's muggy and uncomfortable as you like. I'm tired. I feel bedraggled and already I feel like this day is going south. Feels a bit like Arsenal at the moment, eh? We look a little bedraggled [...]
It's Friday morning at 6.30am in the UK and if my calculations are correct, the Arsenal vs MLS All Stars finished about three hours and 45 minutes ago, so my ability to provide any match report is completely undone by the fact that I was sound asleep in my bed. Certainly you can question my [...]
With N'Golo ~Kante heading to Chelski, I tweeted yesterday that we should go for Mahrez, just to piss Vardy off. But actually, more than that, we should go for Mahrez because he's a good player. He's also supposedly ignoring advances from Leicester on a new deal. So I really hope we are taking a good [...]
Having had a long weekend of over-endulgence, coupled with going in to mourning over the now barren spell in which the Euro's finished and I find myself with no more football to watch for at least another month, I've decided to get back on to the blog and compile some thoughts on a Tuesday morn.
