Morning all. So, here we are again. Nothing. There's no Bruno Guimaraes news – no bid, no "talks progressing", not even a lazily-sourced "Arsenal are monitoring the situation" to chew on over a coffee. And then yesterday Sky went and confirmed the thing a few of us had already quietly braced ourselves for: Vinicius Junior [...]
Chelsea really are like the little baby brother who cries for attention, aren't they? It's quite amusing, actually. And Morgan Rogers doing his "I've joined the biggest club in London" schtick was funny too. Mate, pull the other one, it's got bells on. The club you just joined finished 10th, you act more like a [...]
I saw a video yesterday of Rice and Odegaard having a long conversation after the England v Norway game on Saturday evening. Seeing those two locked in a chat was interesting, and had me thinking what they might be talking about. Maybe Martin was asking Declan how sick he was? Maybe they were talking about [...]
I watched the tail-end of the pumping that Spain gave Austria last night, as I was coming back from a networking event in the City, and I have to say, Spain looks like they are purring now. It's a shame their two fullbacks are absolute dickheads, but I guess there's not a lot you can [...]
I watched the Germany vs Ecuador game last night, whilst sipping on some white wine in the garden, getting over the melting of the day in London. To be fair, it wasn't a bad one, with Germany scoring first to add some urgency, although the goal they got really shouldn't have stood. If that isn't [...]
Most of the time, when I write my daily ramblings, I jot down a stream of conscious thought and then rack my brains as to what the title should be. But there are rare occasions where I start with the title and let it flow from there. Why am I telling you this? Well, obviously, [...]
I went for a walk with The Management last night. We talked a little bit about how long this feeling of the 'good vibes' can go on for. I said a little while longer, but it does feel as though the 'party vibes' are starting to subside now. I still walked through Uxbridge yesterday and [...]
I didn't blog yesterday about the Champions League. I figured that yesterday was a day of celebration, and I didn't really want it sullied by talking about the performance, the highs and lows, etc, etc. There will be another time for that, I'm sure, so today I want to focus on the parade yesterday. I [...]
Yesterday afternoon/evening, there was a flurry of articles that were released interviewing Josh Kroenke, as the co-chairman of Arsenal, to discuss the journey that the club has been on since he and his father became majority stakeholders at The Arsenal. I myself read the Telegraph one by Sam Dean (my dad has an account so [...]
After a big win, I usually say things like "let the basking continue" or thereabouts. If we beat a Chelsea, or a Liverpool, City, etc - you feel like you can bathe in the radiant glow of victory. Even though they have been a tragic side this season, beating the Scum in the North London [...]
