It's amazing what little actually goes on, football-wise, in the summer months and. Now that the number of games in the Euros is reduced to four to be played tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was almost completely wiped out for me through illness, as I slept for most of the day, but it was [...]
So, Xhaka in an Arsenal kit, eh? Imagine if both clubs suddenly stumbled on an agreement and the deal broke through now? I think some people might just be finding some tall ledges to walk off. Every Arsenal Tweet for the last few days has been responded to by an Arsenal fan saying "Announce Xhaka FFS", [...]
Well, well, well, my how the 'mighty' mighty have fallen so quick, so fast and so hard, eh? I wonder if, at the end of season party when all of the back-slapping and self-congratulating had finished, the chortle from the speech about how there is a team who only play in calendar years (the jibe [...]
With the Bayern game taking place on Wednesday, the team find themselves with little opportunity to regale themselves with the memories of the fabulous win at the weekend, instead having to put it behind them in favour of a look ahead to a Wednesday night fixture against Bayern. Sure, Joel can be happy with his [...]
Quite a lot to get through, after an eventful day yesterday, eh? First and foremost, the AGM and I'll make this relatively brief because a) I wasn't there, and b) it has precious little to do with what is on the pitch and more about what is happening in the boardroom. Or not happening, apparently, [...]
The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
So Happy Saturday to you. It's one in which we have to wait a little bit before we get to avenge the defeat last weekend. Sure, we took a bit of a surprise sucker punch from Slaven Bilic's West Ham, but it was only our first game of of the 2015/16 season (match preview from the guys [...]
One of the most pleasing outcomes of yesterday's victory over Chelski was, for me, the response of Jose Mourinho. This is a man who has no qualms over having pops at other managers with whom he does not have a good relationship with, so to see him frustrated enough to bemoan Arsenal's tactics yesterday, was [...]
Did you ever get told by your mum to ignore the chants of other boys/girls? To brush away callous name-calling with a simple rendition of "sticks and stones"? And did you find it really difficult to understand why your mother didn't tell you to open up a can of whoopass on the individual in question? [...]
Two major talking points from yesterday included the unveiling of the new kit, as well as the noise about Cech hotting up even further, with his coach Christophe Lollichon (what a name that is, eh?) saying that Petr loves Arsenal's philosophy and he is settled in London. Let's start with the new kit though, which [...]
