It's a new week, and another set of World Cup games to be peppered with, and the first of the knockout matches has already been decided. I didn't watch Canada beat South Africa last night, mainly because I wasn't sure what time it was on. I've gotten so used to the games being on at [...]
Thankfully, we didn't see Declan Rice yesterday, as Tuchel did the sensible thing and kept the Arsenal midfielder out of harms way as England got over a plucky Panama team last night. I watched the first half in a bar in London with some mates, pretty uninspired by England, but that's Par for the course [...]
I watched the Germany vs Ecuador game last night, whilst sipping on some white wine in the garden, getting over the melting of the day in London. To be fair, it wasn't a bad one, with Germany scoring first to add some urgency, although the goal they got really shouldn't have stood. If that isn't [...]
If you are somebody who reads my ramblings regularly, you'll have noticed that I have been quite conspicuous by my absence. If there is anybody out there who finds what I have to say on football moderately interesting, firstly, you're a mentalist ;-) But secondly, apologies if you'd been wondering if I fell into a [...]
Maybe it's weird and irrational, but this World Cup hasn't even started yet, and all I want to happen is for our Arsenal boys to come home. Perhaps this feeling was triggered by the Jurrien Timber news, which I spoke about yesterday, or maybe it was the news from Tommy Tuchel that Bukayo Saka is [...]
Most of the time, when I write my daily ramblings, I jot down a stream of conscious thought and then rack my brains as to what the title should be. But there are rare occasions where I start with the title and let it flow from there. Why am I telling you this? Well, obviously, [...]
The news that Christian Eriksen collapsed yesterday playing for Denmark really should hit home that when people say "it's only a game", this is when you say"yep - not worth it". It may be Erikson's livelihood, his job, his identity, but health has to come above everything else, and when you put yourself in his [...]
Happy Friday kids. Guess what? We're still champions. And we reflected on that, the parade, the Champions League final, and more in last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, which you can watch here. I'll get the audio out later today on all platforms. We also did a bit of a discussion over our predictions. I'm [...]
I didn't blog yesterday, as I didn't have time, because I was on my way to the Emirates to film a documentary a mate of mine is making. But when I was on my way back, listening to a few podcasts, I was thinking to myself, "I wonder when the transfer silly season will start [...]
I went for a walk with The Management last night. We talked a little bit about how long this feeling of the 'good vibes' can go on for. I said a little while longer, but it does feel as though the 'party vibes' are starting to subside now. I still walked through Uxbridge yesterday and [...]
