So yesterday, after all of the speculation, endless retelling of his impending arrival and all-round media bluster, Arsenal confirmed that Petr Cech was officially an Arsenal player. I, like you, am very pleased. I'll talk a little bit about the signing in a sec, but as I chewed the fat with a fellow Gooner in [...]
So for yours truly here after 10 days of sunshine, Sagres and late morning get-ups, it's back to work in Blighty and back to writing my daily musings at an hour in which I'd really rather be in bed. Oh well. At least I left with very little happening and will arrive today with the [...]
Howdy there and happy Friday to you. It's the end of a working week for some and a holiday week for others, but we're still waiting on a signing that might or might not happy and whom I'm pledging not to talk about until it does, even though I kind of already have in this [...]
With all the talk of new signings and the like so far this summer, I seem to have completely forgotten about some of the existing players whose future is in the air for the opposite reasons, i.e. they'll most likely be shipped out of the club. So with Lukas Podolski admitting that his Italian adventure [...]
We're now at Day 972 (or what feels like) of the Petr Cech t Arsenal and I must say Sky Sports have played this out to the best of their ability. Maybe they're right, maybe their wrong, but their sources have run through the entire gambit of different stages of a transfer. Each time a [...]
Day (what feels like) 72 in the Big Petr Cech House and, much like the social experiment TV programme that nobody bothers watching any more because everyone's realised that the inhabitants do absolutely nothing at all, there's nothing going on in the Petr Cech Saga. No new spins. No fresh angles. Just a quick article [...]
A Quick mosey around the online football world and what do you know? More 'angles' on the Cech deal. Surely it's all reaching its inevitable conclusion now, right? I mean we've had the discussions between the clubs over a fee already poured over to the nth degree, the wages have been laid out bare for [...]
It'd be nice to be able to talk up the fact that Ivan said yesterday in a fans Q & A that we're going to sign Player x, Player Y is in the bag and Player Z was just waiting behind a pop-up banner to appear like a Sol Campbell from nowhere, but the reality [...]
Bit of a mega-delayed post today and, believe it or not, it's not got anything to do with my concoction of Sagres, Vinho Verde and fine ruby Port I drunk yesterday. My Wi-Fi was being a little temperamental so I had to come away and come back again. Such is life I suppose. The big [...]
Greetings to you and yours from a sunny Portugal. It's a bit of R&R for me and the Management for the next week and a half, so apologies if the timing of blogs is a bit sporadic, because it will most likely depend on my blood/Sagres beer levels as to how quickly I can rouse [...]
