Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]
This season has absolutely battered Arsenal with injuries from day one, so perhaps it is no surprise that I've woken up this morning to jot down some thoughts, only to find that Leandro Trossard limped off after 37 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 defeat to Israel in Budapest yesterday. I haven't read any comments that talk [...]
So here we are folks, in the mire of another international break and whilst some football fans get in to the swing of it, for me as you'll know if you regularly read my thinking's, it does nothing of the sort. All I want from the next few days is a clean bill of health [...]
There's really no other place to start than the deciding two factors in yesterday's 1-0 defeat to the Italian Champions Inter. At one end of the pitch Mikel Merino is punched in the head from Jan Sommer, at the other end of the pitch a ball flicks up on to his arm and the - [...]
You know how sometimes weird situations like history repeat themselves? I mentioned on the blog yesterday that The Management was coming with me to the game as I had a spare seat next to me. She'd been to the 5-2 against the Scum the first time around, then when she came the second time to the [...]
If you'd have offered me a Desmond 2-2 in the morning yesterday when I was writing my pre match thoughts, I'd have bitten your hands off. If you'd have told me that Arsenal would get back in the game after the first 10 - 15 minutes of yesterday's game at the soulless Etihad I'd have [...]
Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]
Ahh man it's a barren football wasteland out there right now. There is absolutely nothing anybody can say that would convince me that tonight's match between the Republic of Ireland and England is one worth getting invested in. I'm up in Northumberland and the Management's uncle is a Newcastle and England fan, so he'll probably [...]
That felt like a BIG win yesterday, I have to tell you guys, because at 60-odd minutes I was pacing up and down of the house I'm staying in, in the Algarve, wondering how we were going to get anything from a game that I thought Villa were starting to get a little more control [...]
Loads for me to sink my teeth in to today from an Arsenal perspective, so let's dive right in, shall we? I'm not even going to go in to detail about the new third kit rumoured to be being released today (with a nice little cameo from Vieira in a video posted last night, I [...]
