Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]
Still feeling it a little bit after the game on Sunday. How about you? Even the catharsis of doing the pod last night hasn't helped to get me over the defeat to Brighton. I said on the pod that my football hangover cure was to avoid social media for a bit and that I did, [...]
Cor blimey I had a skin-full last night. Eurovision virtual party with the family and I decided the only way to get through it is to drink so much booze that walking upstairs to bed felt like a pilgrimage. **Makes noise like Sideshow Bob when he steps on all those rakes in The Simpsons** I [...]
Bit of a weird one for a Saturday blog today, because although it is a Premier League weekend, Arsenal don't play until Tuesday, which means we'll be watching all of the other Premier League games unfolding in front of us, without any real proper football at all. From a personal point of view I'd rather [...]
The all but official confirmation yesterday that Saliba would certainly miss tomorrow's game at the Etihad yesterday, sent a wave of Arsenal fans - your humble narrator included - into a wave of 'formation and play permutation bingo' and, I'll be honest, none of it was particularly palatable. We all know the issues of late; [...]
Quite often when I write my daily ramblings I just start typing without really knowing what the title of the blog will be. Usually it just comes to me as I draw my final conclusions. But today is different in that I've started with the title and I'm working my way from there. That's because [...]
Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]
Given that the away goals rule no longer counts for anything, a scoring draw away from home doesn't really mean as much as it used to, which is only annoying when your team has indeed bagged a score draw in the away leg. Of course with us not in the competition last year I didn't [...]
Happy Tuesday people. Have you fully recovered from the weekend's emotional high? Or are you still drinking in all levels of content? I think mine is just about starting to wear off, but mainly because we're just over 48 hours until we are on to our next game away to Sporting Lisbon, a match which [...]
Happy Saturday people. And it is that most rarest of things for a football fan: The home Saturday 3pm kick off. Of course it's a joke that they are not televised these days, of course it's based on an archaic rule that should have been binned years ago, but as a match going fan I [...]
