Ox needs one form game, Gibbs needs a run and I need real football

I think it's safe to come out now, isn't it, after all the international friendlies and Euro qualifiers are done right? I took the horrendous decision to watch the majority of a disjointed and unimportant dead rubber between England and the might that is Lithuania, which is two hours of my life I'll never get [...]

Arsène's stability wall protecting the Premier League trophy

Life is short. I seem to recall that it wasn't long ago that I was up north at Uni surrounded by Scousers and Mancs, whilst Arsène and Arsenal were doing me big favours by going unbeaten and giving me all manner of bragging rights amongst mates, one of whom was such a bitter United fan [...]

When a 'dive' becomes 'evasive', plus the worst possible draw

I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet this morning and no, it isn't because we're away to United (although that is severe Sucksville, but more on that in a bit) in the FA Cup, but it's about media narrative and rhetoric around diving and English players. In August 2009 a penalty awarded [...]

Arsène on tomorrow, me on Szczesny, as well as the new TV deal

I do like FA Cup weekend. Especially when a load of teams I would traditionally 'fear' have been knocked out in the previous round. Now, if only Preston and Palace can do me a big flavour and do the business against United and Liverpool respectively, then the FA Cup will become super awesome. Of course, [...]

The completely false Bielik origin story

By |2015-01-16T07:40:47+00:00January 16th, 2015|analogy, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Transfers|0 Comments

So it seems the deal to bring Krystian Bielik to Arsenal is all but completed and by some stage this weekend we'll possibly get confirmation of it. Although we all know that Arsenal like to tease us by eeking out a transfer announcement, so don't be surprised if it doesn't happen until the middle of [...]

Searching where we need; Santiago the Spanish Prince

So it appears as though the club are finally shifting gears in the transfer market, with Legia Warsaw publicly announcing that they have rejected a bid from us for their highly rated youngster Krystian Bielik, no doubt in an attempt to sound out other teams and engage in a bidding war. Whether or not that [...]
