What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]
That felt like a BIG win yesterday, I have to tell you guys, because at 60-odd minutes I was pacing up and down of the house I'm staying in, in the Algarve, wondering how we were going to get anything from a game that I thought Villa were starting to get a little more control [...]
Happy match day folks - how we all feeling? There's obviously some transfer stuff going on with Fabio Vieira back to Porto on loan, as well as Mikel Merino spotted on his way to London, but on match day there really is only ever one focus and that's how we're going to come back from [...]
Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good. I don't know why I still get triggered by lazy journalism, but I do, falling victim to shoddy 'takes from so-called professionals not once, but twice in the last 12 hours.

Well here we are folks. The eve of the season. It's all out in front of us now and the hope that springs eternal, is now at its zenith. Tomorrow the Premier League campaign kicks off for The Arsenal and whilst we haven't gone crazy with our acquisition plans this summer, the optimism that I'm [...]
had a fun start to the day this morning talking with my old mukka Dave on the Gooners v Cancer 27 hour podathon this morning. Giving a quick shout out here so if you want to donate as it's great work Mike and the team do and it's amazing to see all the guests come [...]
