I was round my parents yesterday for the weekend and as I was starting the prep for Sunday roast with the old man I decided to put the game on between Liverpool and Wolves in the second half. It was 2-0, I wasn't expecting anything other than a slow canter towards three points for the [...]
Happy Sunday folks. Hope you're all doing well. Still feels weird that most of the footballing world (in terms of Premier League Teams) are playing this weekend and our players are sunning themselves in Dubai. I know how relentless it all has been over the last six weeks or so, but I was listening to [...]
Congratulations to Michael Oliver. You made it all about you yesterday. You proved once again that your biases are clear when it comes to Arsenal and not even for the first time this season, you decided to change a game based on a decision that for 19 other clubs you would never give. Myles Lewis-Skelly's [...]
It's the start of a new week, we have to look forward instead of back from a football perspective, unless you're talking about Man United and the Scum. Both lost yesterday, both look shambolic, the only sad thing might be that Big Ange may not last until the end of January at this rate. There are [...]
It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
Sometimes when I watch Arsenal, I just have that feeling of “oh no, this is going to be one of THOSE games” and after we’d created a couple of good chances before Newcastle got their first goal, including Martinelli crashing the ball off the post, I started to have that feeling. It’s the feeling that [...]
Well now, it appears as though we got away with one yesterday, eh? After the disappointment of the Brighton game, I think a lot of us had thought “that’s it. All over. Liverpool to canter to the title now” but here we all are, the morning after they have drawn 2-2 with what has been [...]
Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]
I was driving back from the parents' place yesterday morning, before getting on with a day of work, so didn't have time to pen some post thoughts two days after the 0-0 against Everton. What I would have said yesterday, however, was that I was still grumpy about that game. It's games like that when [...]
Went with the brother and Nephew yesterday to the London Stadium to see West Ham play Wolves. The wee man has only ever been once before and so despite the lack of quality on display at The London Stadium (as well as a ball ache of a place to get out of and home), it's [...]
