It's Friday, the Euro's start this evening and I must confess, I'm a little excited about it. Perhaps it's because it adds some what of a carnival festival to the summer, or perhaps it's simply that there is some sort of football to talk about, but I think I'm actually going to enjoy international football [...]
Over the weekend I didn't really have time to compile any thoughts with what happened with the breaking Vardy news which started on Friday lunchtime, so I thought I'd add some thoughts in now, albeit slightly delayed and probably nothing you haven't thought of read about somewhere else (way to 'sell' the blog to your [...]
Reckon I had too much alcohol in my system after a bank holiday weekend of boozing, because I've woken up this morning feeling the cold sweats of lady liquor, which is never the best way to start your working week. At least the weather isn't hindering my ability to wake up - it's blustery as [...]
So it seems the wheels are properly in motion for Granit Xhaka to be joining the club, after multiple outlets confirmed his impending arrival for a medical, with the most reliable David Ornstein going as far as to say it's on the verge of completion. This is good moves by the club and by Arsene. [...]
In this season of the bizarre and ridiculous, perhaps it was most fitting that on the final day an Arsenal team all had written off as quite poor, took one final step upwards in the league to leapfrog the Spuds by hammering Villa.

What a wonderful weekend of weather we had in England, particularly yesterday, which is the real positives I took from my first Sunday of May.

Did you ever play the popular card game "Top Trumps"? Well, regardless if you did or didn't, there was always one card that pretty much beats any other card in the whole deck. I have the Marvel version of the game and I think it's the Incredible Hulk. Well, the reason I'm bringing this up [...]
At present I find myself typing today's blog from a hotel room in Dubai. It means I won't get to the game today, but I will be watching it from a Sports Bar round the corner. Why is any of this significant? Well, I've been to Dubai before just once, in May 2012. I missed [...]
Inspid was the first word that came to my mind after yesterday's display and I've already seen a number of Arsenal fans use it, so clearly I'm not alone in my view of how this Arsenal team failed again to show any kind of drive, any kind of belief and quite frankly looked like they [...]
That performance yesterday was what the Palace game was supposed to look like on Sunday, wasn't it? As the twighlight draws upon another season and Arsenal games begin to run out with little to play for, the team dispatches a mid-table side without any real song and dance, to which we finally get to draw [...]
