Yesterday I watched the Southampton v The Scum game in the absence of any proper football on TV. I wanted to get a proper look at Antonio Conte's team and given the good run of form they were on I wondered what I'd see. Of course at this time of year it is difficult to [...]
Well now, isn't it nice to start the week run up to Christmas knowing that whatever happens, The Arsenal will be fourth on Christmas Day. We may not stay there, we may fall away and have a shocker of a Christmas period between now and the new year, but as it stands we can smile [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday. Hope you're all feeling good? I had to take the first of my lateral flow 'countdown to Christmas' tests this morning. I didn't go to West Ham on Wednesday because I didn't want to risk it, plus the fact I was in the Tollington on Saturday and it was [...]
Watching football, talking about football, writing about football - it's all hella fun when your team plays well and wins, eh? That's what we had yesterday evening and I tell you what; I slept sound as a baby last night. Compared to the Everton performance where I tossed and turned all evening, last night was [...]
In classic 'Curse of Chris' fashion after saying yesterday that Arsenal, Arteta and Aubameyang needed to sort out the situation between them quickly and quietly, it all blew up yesterday, didn't it? We got the confirmation that Aubameyang would not be captain, that he would not be available for the game against West Ham, plus [...]
Last night some friends we were due to have over for a slap up Christmas meal before we are all off to see our families, unfortunately got a positive test result on their lateral flow tests, which means we've had to cancel a weekend of fun and frivolity at our place. I mention this in [...]
Happy Monday to thee. Hope you're going to have a good one and if you're winding down for the Christmas period then hopefully it is a chance to start getting in to full relaxation mode as the year draws to a close. I've got a week and a day until I clock off for the [...]
As weekends go, that was pretty tasty, from an Arsenal perspective wasn't it? We had our win on Friday, which meant we could just watch the games pan out knowing we had done our job. Then we had Everton stunned against Watford, followed by yesterday's results, which were almost perfect. First the Scum were beaten [...]
Football is bloody bonkers sometimes. Yesterday's game away to West Ham was an example of that and I'll be honest with you, I have no idea how to properly judge what we all witnessed yesterday. That's because when I usually analyse how I feel with The Arsenal it usually falls in to quite a binary [...]
It's match day today and it's one that always has significance in my family, because it is where rivalries are split, given a large chunk of my family are West Ham fans. It's a little like the North London Derby because i'm not really a fan of it, but it doesn't have the same level [...]
