I didn't bother to watch the Chelsea versus Liverpool game. I already knew how the script would play out; Liverpool looking ropey, Chelsea not able to finish their dinner, a game in which Football365 has already labelled 'El Sh*tico' would be a waste of an evening. Of course I still wanted to know how the game [...]
I'm probably going to spend the vast bulk of today's ramblings talking about how worried I am with regards to William Saliba's fitness concerns, so before I do that, I'm taking a moment to remember the wonderful player that was David Rocastle. He sadly died 22 years ago today and whilst he didn't end his [...]
I don't normally lead on Arsenal Women stuff, because I don't follow it massively closely and I am by no means an expert, so I just tend to check in and give them a mention when good things happen. So for them to beat Bayern Munich at the Emirates last night (and the first goal [...]
This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]
After the three points were confirmed against Fulham last weekend, I gave a little fist pump in the air in my kitchen to myself. That felt like a big win. I immediately started thinking about this weekend. "If we can beat Palace and Leeds, then we'll be in a really good position to go for [...]
Given that the away goals rule no longer counts for anything, a scoring draw away from home doesn't really mean as much as it used to, which is only annoying when your team has indeed bagged a score draw in the away leg. Of course with us not in the competition last year I didn't [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? Looking forward to the weekend and a wee taste of The Arsenal ahead of the season starting back up on Boxing Day? I know I am. I might even tune in to the live feeds of the press conference I'm sure Arteta will give today at some stage. There [...]
Blimey, how about that for a couple of quarter finals yesterday, eh? Clearly both Brazil and Croatia, as well as Argentina and The Netherlands, were watching the Dubai Super Cup the other day and thought "do you know what? We fancy a go at that 'penalties after the match' kinda vibe". What a pull our [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing then, eh? This weekend I've watched most of that FID+FA documentary and my word, isn't that organisation a real piece of work, eh? And as for that Qatar 2022 bid, blimey, it wasn't exactly the most convincing of tales told by the people behind that bid, that's for [...]
Yesterday I penned some thoughts about who could most benefit from the second pre season we're about to get. You can have a read of that here if you like. Then, as I was out on my run this morning, I was listening to one of the many Arsenal podcasts I tune in to when [...]
