I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]
That was a bit more fun yesterday at the Euro's, eh? We had goals, we had drama, we had teams going for matches and not relying on own goals, penalties, boring sufferball; it was how the Euro's or any international tournament should be played. Not what we're all now used to if you're of a certain [...]
Having spent the weekend at Glastonbury and not getting any signal to watch the Euro's other than the England game on Sunday (I managed to use the Management's work phone through some of jiggery pokery), I managed to get to watch both of the games yesterday and so feel like I'm back on track with [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another Monday of the summer off season. At least the weather has finally decided to show up and here I am finding myself very happy with the prospect of a few 25 degree plus days in London, that's for sure. Off to Glastonbury towards the end of the week so [...]
L:et's start of this morning with a little chuckle at this story that've seen this morning, suggesting that Barcelona are plotting an 'ambitious' bid for William Saliba. I'm sure Barca love the look of Big Bill - who wouldn't given he's just come off of another season in which he's proven himself to be one [...]
Happy Friday folks. Wherever you are, hope it's a good one. Those in the England national team camp who played last night are probably not waking up with that feeling after their poor performance yesterday, that's for sure! I missed the first 15 or 20 minutes of the game, so didn't see Kane's tap in [...]
Didn't bother blogging over the weekend because a) There wasn't really much Arsenal stuff to speak of, b) I spent a lot of the weekend mornings pretty hungover, and c) it was the Euro's so all the attention would be on that and I wanted to hold off talking about international football for as long [...]
This might be a short one today, as I seem to have amassed a whole bunch of work I have to do first thing this morning (both 'work work' and life admin) that has meant I've got about 12 minutes to pen some thoughts before I go in to the first meeting of the day. [...]
There's a fair few people on the internets and social medias today who are a little sad about the whole Benjamin Sesko stuff. I feel like there's been a little bit of 'reading between the lines' from a few journo's though and, without wanting to come across as a completely smug d*ck, I kind of [...]
Last night I did a bit of an impromptu pod with Cookie on the Same Old Arsenal channel in which we talked about 'keep, loan or sell' through a selection of players. I reeled off a few Transfermarkt figures in Euros but, if you're a regular user of Transfermarkt like I am, you'll know that [...]
