Ok, I just want the season up and running now, as I'm becoming a bit impatient and I'm needing to not have the 'feelings' that I've got. Those 'feelings' are the ones that are irrational and based on the fact that because nobody has really kicked a ball in anger yet, every other team has [...]
It’s a curious thing, is pre season, because you can have your concerns about performances, but not about results. It’s a real juxtaposition to the real thing, in which ultimately the opposite is true. Due to work commitments I managed to catch from minute 28 of the game against Villareal last night and found myself [...]
It's another friendly match day today for The Arsenal and I'm intrigued to see how we line up tonight against Villareal. Will we see a pretty much first team rock up against the Spanish side? Or will it be a blended side from the start like in the Asian tour? equally, will we have a [...]
It's a weird match day of sorts, because technically it's a North London Derby day but in reality, this has none of the usual jeopardy that comes with that most wretched of fixtures. So I don't really know how I feel about it. It's because of that lack of jeopardy that I am trying to [...]
It's a muggy ol' day in London today, I can tell you that much and having gone for a run early this morning as I'm off in to the office for the day, I am feeling it for sure. I wonder what the players do on days like today? probably just shorts and a t [...]
With the clock ticking down on the start of the season, it appears the club are trying to sort out those deals to finalise the team for 2024/25 and yesterday we got one or two titbits from some of the respected journo's about where we are at with some of the outgoings, specifically. On Eddie [...]
Happy Friday peeps, how we all doing? At this point in time I really think there's nothing else I can add on the Merino stuff until he's actually in through the revolving doors at London Colney, so despite there being another 'angle' on his potential arrival (not in the Sociedad squad for a friendly yesterday), [...]
I watched the game at The Emirates from the comfort of my own home yesterday and it was the first one I’ve been able to catch live this pre season, so I will admit to quite a degree of excitement ahead of the match against Leverkusen yesterday evening. It was the return of Granit for [...]
With two week's to go until the season kicks off properly, it feels like the countdown to the season opener against Wolves is officially 'on now'. Not just because of the short amount of time left in pre season, but because we've also been treated to pictures of Saka, Saliba, Ramsdale and Rice all returning [...]
So the last game in the US ended with a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool and I have to say when I saw Liverpool's first goal, I had to do a bit of a double take, because the commentator said 'Salah' but there was no trademark big curly hair racing through. Is this the latest 'marginal [...]
