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 [...]
Yesterday I had a really busy day of meetings and personal appointments, so I didn't watch a single minute of football. By the sounds of it, that started off as a good idea with what Switzerland, Cameroon, Uruguay and South Korea all served up, but I've seen and heard some of the comments on the [...]
Howdy peeps - y'all good? I had a lot of work meetings on yesterday and whilst I'm happy to have the game on in the background when it's internal, having externals in and them occasionally hearing Clive Tyldesley's voice in the background, is probably a step too far to be honest. It didn't sound like [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety - how about that from the Saudi Arabian's over the Argies yesterday, eh? That was some statement victory from the supposed whipping boys in the group, which also blows the group right open now and I think might have contributed to the absolute snooze-fest that was Mexico v Poland. I went to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Morning all and welcome to the first - of quite a few - Arsenalless Saturday's we have between now and the remainder of 2022. We'll have the World Cup which will form a minor distrcation, but as I've said before I'm not really much of an international fan, so it will only be that - [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? I'm bloody knackered, I tell you that much, so please excuse if today's ramblings are even more incoherent than usual. Combination of cat waking me up in all hours of the morning, an early start for work, as well as some residual jet lag I think. Which is [...]
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 [...]
Now that we're getting in to 'Part one of the Prem definitely over' territory, I've started to think about this period between now and Christmas as a bit of an off-season/pre season for The Arsenal; there are players heading off for some holidays, there are some players going to a World Cup, Arteta and his [...]
