If you'd have offered me a Desmond 2-2 in the morning yesterday when I was writing my pre match thoughts, I'd have bitten your hands off. If you'd have told me that Arsenal would get back in the game after the first 10 - 15 minutes of yesterday's game at the soulless Etihad I'd have [...]
It's the big one today. Man City away and do you know what? I'm actually not that nervous. I know that sounds weird, maybe it'll change throughout the course of today, but I kind of feel fine about whatever happens today. I suspect it's because I'm managing my own expectations; I think we might come-a-cropper [...]
Happy Saturday peeps. How we all doing? I drank a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to myself last night, whilst making and then consuming a chilli con carne, listening and watching the two respective managers talk about the game on Sunday. Firstly, Sky Sports were all over Pep, featuring him again and again and some of [...]
Whilst basking in a North London Derby victory is plenty of fun and I intend on doing it a bit more today, there's no rest for the wicked this week, with Atalanta on Thursday and so probably Mikel and the team leaving for Italy either later today or first thing tomorrow. I wonder if they [...]
I've been listening to a song recently by Becky Hill called "I could get used to this". Three North London Derby away wins in three seasons for The Arsenal. I definitely could get used to this. I said pre game yesterday and in the days leading up to this that I hate this game in [...]
Happy North London Derby Saturday folks. Well, I say 'happy', but when it's away to them, it's never really happy is it? We hate them, they hate us and aside from going to the Toilet Bowl two season's in a row and getting a win, that place has been a very unhappy hunting ground in the last [...]
Here we go folks, strap yerselves in, because we're now on the countdown the North London Derby and that means any of the football media outlets you usually tune in to will be awash with COMBINED NORTH LONDON DERBY XI'S, ex-players talking about how this is 'make or break' for both teams, discussions around why [...]
With all of the furore with the Brihgton game, with it happening so soon after the transfer window shut last Friday, I realised I'd barley even had time to properly think a out the fact that Arsenal had signed Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on what we all know is a super deal for the club. [...]
Morning folks. How we all doing on this Monday morning? Still reeling from the weekend? At least the defeat by The Scum and humbling United took gives a little crumb of humour to proceedings. When you can't revel in your own glory, do it in the failings of others, eh? What that does do after [...]
No matter how much I might try to today, there is absolutely no way of looking at that game yesterday any other way than through the lens of that 49th minute ‘incident’ featuring Veltman and Rice. As you will already know, on a yellow, Rice and Veltman came together by the corner flag and a [...]
