Big news coming out yesterday evening from Bolton, with Rob Holding set to sign for over £2million, eh? As usual, my timeline on Twitter was filled with varying degrees of 'meh', but the reality is that Arsenal have always made these kind of signings under Arsène. They're sort of the standard model for Le Boss [...]
Having had a long weekend of over-endulgence, coupled with going in to mourning over the now barren spell in which the Euro's finished and I find myself with no more football to watch for at least another month, I've decided to get back on to the blog and compile some thoughts on a Tuesday morn. [...]
Watching Germany last night had a very familiar feel to it, as an Arsenal fan, I must say. Plenty of possession, control of the ball in the most part, finding it difficult to break down the opposition, then when you do you come across a 'keeper who decides he's going to have a 'worldie'. So [...]
So the Welsh dragon had its wings clipped and its fire doused yesterday, by the Portuguese who were it not for Ronaldo, would probably be liked by a lot more neutrals. That guy really is a narcissistic tosser, isn't he? I mean just look at that self-gratifying celebration where he turns around to show his [...]
Huh. How about that? When you put a half decent team with a bit of effort, against a small team with limited technical ability, the outcome is a resounding win for the technically better team. I never would have guessed... So as I turn down my sarcasm filter, I think it's important to see just [...]
Yesterday I partook in some boating with the family, then I went to a quiz night which felt more like when my mum used to drag me along to her polymath evenings she did back when she was teaching, so I am very thankful that today's technology allowed me to watch Germany versus Italy instead [...]
So, big news, eh? Yep, Jamie Vardy's snubbed Arsenal and agreed a new deal to stay at Leicester, upping his wages to around £100k per week. Fair play to the guy, I say, because he's managed to enhance his reputation, increase his take home pay, plus he doesn't need to worry about relocation for his [...]
So, it turns out that this Euro's can bring more than just hooliganism and violence in the stands. It can also bring hilarity. Thanks Cristiano. The most narcissistic person at the tournament misses a penalty and the only people who are truly unhappy at that are in the west of Europe at the very edge [...]
Today is being billed by Arsenal Twitter as #TeamWilshere versus #TeamRamsey, as Wales take on England and I take on my business to ensure I secure a longer than usual lunch hour, along with most of the gents in my office. Probably. The reality is that as long as they both don't break each other's [...]
Despite being much maligned by, it seems, most fanbases, I must say I found it satisfying to see Olivier Giroud get his Euro2016 tournament underway, last night in Paris. We all know his limitations. We all know that an over-reliance on him has cost us over recent years, but what his goal and performance showed [...]
