Morning folks and happy Monday with a lovely ol' start to the week. Lovely because yesterday we were treated to some hilarity in the shape of Chelsea fluffing their lines at Elland Road and have their arse handed to them by Jessie March's Leeds. Now, I realise that we are yet to play Leeds, they [...]
I didn't watch the game against Hibs on Tuesday and so didn't actually manage to catch some individual performances. So the sight yesterday of a slightly rounder Willian on the pitch, with various pictures of him looking visibly chubbier as he faced off against the Scottish team, would be utterly hilarious, if it wasn't so [...]
It's Wednesday, the middle of the week, another three days until we meet Southampton in the FA Cup. So what did I do when I woke up this morning? Something I haven't really done all season: I looked at the league table. It's a bit mental. Usually by February you start to see one or [...]
Imagine how great it must be to know that the probability of your team getting a penalty is at least every other game? That's what United have been treated to this season as, yet again, a penalty went their way. A very, VERY, soft penalty that I'd wager for seven or eight teams out of [...]
Signing relatively unknown goalkeepers, when we should be hard at work getting on board defenders and wingers, you say? That's the Arsenal I know! I had begun to wonder what the new regime would cook up in their first full summer transfer window but it appears that they've dusted off Wenger's old "how I deal [...]
The unsavoury part of the footballing calendar has begun: transfer season. Here we go again folks. Here we go with the attention seekers, looking to provide a 'scoop' simply by making things up from their mobiles on public transport somewhere. Here we go with the fighting amongst Twitter accounts as people label other people as [...]
So much to get through today, that I'm not even sure the trip from Uxbridge to Moorgate will be enough time to see me include everything, such is the case after an interlull. Unlike a tactically drip-fed Arsène Wenger beIN interview, we don't get dribs and drabs, just the whole shabang. Let's start with dear [...]
Hello there friend. I hope you can bear with me today, lest I become ever-so-slightly ranty. I hope not to be too ranty though. Last night I read an article from the always erudite Adrian Clarke, who talked about how some people are getting a little bit knicker-twisty in relation to the activity that has [...]
Blimey, it's hot in London at the moment, which I am absolutely fine with I hasten to add. I have a lot of work colleagues who are real-life Goldilocks' and who have said they aren't fond of this heat, but when you spend three quarters of the year in jackets or carrying an umbrella, you [...]
Petr Cech has won the Czech Republic footballer of the year, as voted for by the people of his homeland and I'm sure there aren't too many of us that would disagree, given the impact he's had on the team this season. In a summer that was pretty pitiful when it comes to our transfer [...]
