Morning folks - how are we all doing? Feeling groovy? Or feeling a little disappointed? I guess if you're a Welsh reader then probably the latter, but console yourself in the fact that Arsenal are better than any international team anyway. Soon it'll be Christmas and we can get back to focusing on the most [...]
False alarm. No need to get concerned. I thought for a day or two that I was starting to appreciate this England team, but then Gareth Southgate helped me to remember that England and International football is kind of garbage most of the time. The win over Iran had purpose, there was a speed of [...]
I have a confession to make. It is a confession that I never thought I'd ever have to acknowledge. But yesterday afternoon, it actually happened, and now I don't know what is happening with the world: I actually enjoyed watching an England match. I have trained myself to expect nothing but turgid, laborious, slow and [...]
The Euro’s got back underway last night and I watched Wales get smashed up by an impressive Danish team and thought “Wales aren’t that good really, are they?” I don’t know whether it’s because they are one of the home nations, or because they’ve got the likes of Bale and Ramsey in their side, but [...]
Last night as Wales' World Cup Qualifying campaign drew to a close I spared a thought for poor ol' Aaron Ramsey. A good player who should probably be somebody who gets to showcase his skills at a World Cup finals, was denied victory by the reprobate that is James McClean, a player who I think [...]
So the Welsh dragon had its wings clipped and its fire doused yesterday, by the Portuguese who were it not for Ronaldo, would probably be liked by a lot more neutrals. That guy really is a narcissistic tosser, isn't he? I mean just look at that self-gratifying celebration where he turns around to show his [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety, how about the Welsh team, eh? Blasting their way in to the semi-finals with an Aaron Ramsey-inspired performance, no less. I didn't watch all of the game, only sporadic intervals, but what I did see was a Belgium team that were struck by the same afflictions that plagued England and those Welshies [...]
An uninspiring 0-0 draw against Slovakia finally got us to see Jack for an extended period of time yesterday, but sadly, I don't think we'll get to see the real Jack Wilshere throughout this tournament. He looked a little off the pace to me. Dwelling on the ball a little too much, misplacing passes and [...]
Today is being billed by Arsenal Twitter as #TeamWilshere versus #TeamRamsey, as Wales take on England and I take on my business to ensure I secure a longer than usual lunch hour, along with most of the gents in my office. Probably. The reality is that as long as they both don't break each other's [...]
Seems I jumped the proverbial gun yesterday with regards to the end of the international break, but thankfully now we all know that the dreaded 'interlull' is behind us after last nights matches, we can start to worry fully about who will play against Watford and what form they will come into the game on.
