I watched about 15 minutes of the England game yesterday - enough to see Shaw score for England - before flicking over and watching something else whilst I was cooking. I'm sorry but I just cannot get in to international football until there are the big international competitions and even then I probably only watch [...]
Am super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. Whereas I accepted the reality and realism of the defeat to Liverpool both prior and post the game itself, this one feels like there's much more pressure on the team, oddly enough. It feels like we need to get something from this game and [...]
I described last night's game as a 'free hit' beforehand and, as much as I was prepared to lose the game against I think kthe best team in the world right now, it still hurts when the truth like that becomes reality. We can certainly take some solace in the performance and when you look [...]
The way in which I try to temper my own intensity and nervousness over a football game is usually to start at the lowest base point and work upwards. What I mean by that is that in my head, if I start at the point in which my expectations are that we will lose and [...]
Yesterday I wrote about how I feared that Leicester would hit us on the counter. I wrote about being super nervous for this game because I thought we would get a match similar in frustration to the game last year; not taking our chances and sucker-punched by a goal on the counter by the likes [...]
I'm super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. I think the reason why is because I fear what Leicester can do to us on the counter attack. They feel to me like a team absolutely geared up to smash and grab us and whilst their defence is nowhere near as resolute as [...]
Yesterday I was chatting to Danny, Craig and Sulz on the Same old Arsenal podcast and we got to talking about who the next captain could be. Of course the conversation moved around a little bit, but the two outstanding characters that were mentioned were Kieran Tierney - a perfectly good choice I'd be more [...]
That felt like a strange old game yesterday away to Watford. Strange and ultimately good, but still unusual, in terms of how the match evolved and then finished. Yesterday morning I wrote that I didn't think Watford would be pushovers; they don't score a lot of goals but Roy Hodgson is a manager who has [...]
I write this blog every morning and usually I write my body of content first, then try to think of a headline that summarises the blog I've just written. But occasionally, very rarely, I start with the title of the blog and take it from there. Today is such an occasion because after watching Emile [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday. We'll hopefully get a press conference this morning, unless London Colney has blown away with all the high winds we're seeing in the UK right now. There's a that has been brewing and it isn't Mikel's latest falling out that is causing the ruckus, but instead Mother Nature that [...]
