Yesterday pulled up some interesting outcomes from the two matches played that we give a monkeys about, didn't it? Firstly you had the United win which, if we all want to be nice and mathematical about it you would probably say was the second best outcome for us behind a draw. United have a tough [...]

Liverpool and Chelski out, City all but gone against Barca and Arsenal remain the only hope for British success in the Champions League.How did that happen?I'm not complaining though. Certainly not as much as Chelski players were, apparently, last night. I've seen plenty of friends comment on the antics of the West Londoners, but I'm [...]
I'm still buzzing about the result on Monday night. More so than I thought I'd be actually. Probably more so because I know there's a Wembley semi final that lies in wait and, although we can't be presumptive enough to assume we'll waltz our way into the final (see Wigan last season as a case [...]
These are the blogs that I started this site to write. It's victories like today that make the daily musings and nonsensical ramblings feel glorious in the extreme.

It's a shame for Gabriel because [...]
I was going to hypothesise as to what Arsène might be saying in his mega early press conference (in terms of when the presser is versus when the game is) today, assuming there is one, but instead I think I'll take my train of thought down an individual player route today.Mesut Özil.Last night I Tweeted [...]
I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet this morning and no, it isn't because we're away to United (although that is severe Sucksville, but more on that in a bit) in the FA Cup, but it's about media narrative and rhetoric around diving and English players. In August 2009 a penalty awarded [...]
It's like the Metropolitan Line is trying to protect me from a day of ghastly Spud ribbing at work, as I stand here on Uxbridge station writing today's blog, waiting for a tube train delayed that is rarely late these days. But unfortunately it will only delay the inevitable and Gooners everywhere will no doubt [...]
