I've got to be honest and tell you that the nerves have already started for tomorrow's North London Derby. It always starts at least two days before the actual game and by the time I reach the day before I'm already thinking about the potential outcomes, both positively and negatively. I make myself more nervous [...]
I love hindsight. It offers so much and asks so little. It is a wonderful gift and a soothing relaxant after an evening of the 'now' can build such tension. Hindsight has allowed me to utter such a phrase: What a glorious night of football under the floodlights. Hindsight, as well as the bundled 'header' [...]
Not for the first time this season Liverpool were the beneficiaries of yet more dodgy officiating, yet for the first time this season, we were the beneficiaries of a superb Petr Cech display. Which would probably be the story of the game if you asked me to describe it in a paragraph or less. The [...]
I sporadically tuned in last night to watch Liverpool against Bournemouth in a match that was supposed to be so comically one-sided it wouldn't seem fair. Instead I saw a hard working Bournemouth team treated to some rough luck as Liverpool scored a goal which, under the rules, should not have stood. Talking about decisions [...]
Ohh Arsenal...why do you do it to us? All that excitement. All the talk. All the waiting and hope for an amazing season, deflated in the space of 90 minutes. Yes, it's only 90 minutes and there's a lot more football to be played, but that match yesterday was a bit of a travesty if [...]
Well how about that for a performance from the players yesterday, eh? Six goals, none in reply from Lyon and a table-topping performance at The Emirates Cup 2015. The trophy's in the bag, folks, the trophy's in the bag. Of course we all know this is a friendly and if we were to face Lyon [...]
Mattieu Flamini to Galatasaray and Wojciech Szczesny to Roma on a one year deal, it seems, if the rumours across multiple newspapers and on radio shows are to be believed. Firstly the Flamster who, if we're all honest, probably knew his time was up at the club. The fact we're picking up a fee for [...]
Whilst hearing the news yesterday about Mattieu Flamini and his probable departure this summer (to Bastia or Galatasaray, depending on who you believe), I began to ponder Arsène's next move in the fabled 'DM' position. It's an interesting one because there is no simple hard and fast answer. There are so many different options open [...]
London black cabs everywhere will be a little less cheery in their disposition this morning, after Lukas Podolski's agent confirmed that he'll be making the switch to Turkish football to play for Galatasaray this summer. I think we all knew it was coming, but the fact that Poldi's agent said that they had a long [...]
You can tell this is the calm after the transfer storm that was Monday, because there ain't a lot going on right now, friend. I mean, when one of The Evening Standard's main Arsenal stories that I had a look on News Now this morning is one in which Petr Cech's day of signing is video [...]
