Wellety, wellety, wellety. Welly, welly, welly. Wellington, wellington, wellington. It appears as though the rules around Financial Fair Play that we all thought were largely irrelevant are, in fact, looked and and reviewed by the Premier League. Yesterday's announcement that Man City have allegedly breached 101 different Premier League rules - from failing to disclose [...]
All things considered, I find myself surprisingly happy about the football at the end of this weekend, after The Scum did us a favour and beat Man City to ensure that our five point lead at the top of the league remains in tact. And I was happy that they won yesterday. And I don't [...]
What is it about Goodison Park, eh? What is it about Everton? What is it about playing them when they are in their worst run of form and then somehow contriving to lose to a team that we should be able to swat to one side? I don't have the answers I'm afraid, but yesterday's [...]
I am a lot more nervous about this game than I thought I would be, you know. I thought that this Everton team have looked ragged all season, they have disgruntled fans turning on the club and its ownership, there was talk about protests going on during the game, plus more. Before the Premier League [...]
I said yesterday with a brash tone "they're sure to have a press conference today as I would imagine they'll be travelling up to Everton on Friday given the game is a 12.30pm kick off on Saturday".

Morning folks, how we all doing? Having a good one? I'm struggling to shift a bloody annoying sore throat and cough at the moment, which isn't ideal, but I guess it's the time of year n'that... It's also the time of the season where the dust has settled on the transfer window, the second half [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the day after transfer deadline day. We got through it. Phew. Let's start with the main bit of news that only emerged on Monday and was done by Tuesday. Jorginho joins The Arsenal for something around £12million. I've been saying on social media that I don't completely hate this deal [...]
Morning fellow Gooners, hope you're all well on this Sunday morn. It feels a little quiet waking up today in the Arsenal world, after the game on Friday and also the release of information about our £60million Caicedo bid. I am in Northumberland at the moment and I spent a lot of time yesterday with [...]
Morning gooners, how we all doing today then, eh? Counting down until Friday's showdown with City? Can I let you in on a little secret? I'm actually not that worried about this game on Friday at the Etihad. That is not out of some misplaced arrogance that we're going to get a result, but rather [...]
Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you and yours. If you're a regular reader of these ramblings then you'll know that I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to The Arsenal. That's why this season I've very much tried to keep my feet on the ground when it comes to [...]
