As Monday's go from an Arsenal fans perspective, we've had worse, haven't we? Five points clear at the top, a high performing team who have delivered us a concrete lead that will go in to the festive period, players who have stepped up from last season and new signings (as well as 'Like a New Signing' [...]
Morning all! Back in Blighty after just over two weeks in the States and after a mammoth sleep to try to recover from jet lag, I've woken up this morning to that familiar feeling of butterflies in my stomach ahead of an Arsenal game. It's weird because I've known I'll be back home, watching the [...]
Hello, hello, hello, how are you doing today? Are you feeling chipper now that we're knocking down the doors of the North London Derby game on Saturday? I'm not. Hate this fixture more than anything else. Home or away, I hate it. The worry, the nerves, the stress, it all just builds until the moment [...]
Morning folks. Hope you and your families are well. On Sunday I got up and flicked on the TV to see what's knocking about that isn't talking about Covid-19 and, sadly, it was all about Covid-19. My default channel on my TV downstairs is Sky Sports and they had Sunday Supplement on and the chaps who joined [...]
Morning all and welcome to another pre season weekday, with the main story on everyone's lips being the French victory against Croatia yesterday in which Olivier Giroud got his hands on the World Cup, and as a collective it seems most Arsenal fans couldn't be happier for him. He's had one heck of a journey [...]
So for England the dream of a World Cup final dies and much like most of my life it happens wondering why the national team have always fallen short.

I've gotta be honest with you; felt a little bit weird seeing Jack Wilshere in a West Ham shirt yesterday. I don't know why because there have clearly been pictures of him as a little boy in a West Ham shirt, due to his family supporting the club, but it still felt odd and I [...]
Morning folks! How y'all doing? It's good times for me, on account of this unusually warm weather we've got in the UK, which is what us Brits have always said we'd find absolutely acceptable in the summer given we have to go through drizzle, grey and grim sh*t for most of the year. The sun [...]
Today feels like the first proper 'lully' day from a football perspective this summer. Before the World Cup there was build up but also we had the change in Arsenal manager, the swift arrivals of players and the feeling that this summer we actually have a 'plan' to the signings that are being made, followed [...]
Morning all and welcome to Tuesday, which is unsurprisingly being billed as "a nation expects" this evening in England with my birth country playing against David Ospina's lads of Colombia. The fact I'm opening with the World Cup and not the fact we finally, formally, announced the arrival of Sokratis from Dortmund for around £15million [...]
