The Premier League is fast becoming a bit of a farce, isn't it? I mean here we are just having learned about 'Project Restart' a couple of weeks ago, with the Premier League given the green light to apparently start integrating players into small groups so they can train as a collective, and then we [...]
Yesterday afternoon I switched on to BT Sport to have a look at the closing stages of one of the Bundesliga games. I was curious to see what playing in empty stadiums would look and sound like and as test case for when the Premier League eventually returns, I thought it'd be worth seeing what [...]
Morning folks. Happy Sunday, or is it Saturday? Or Tuesday? Thursday? Who knows any more, eh? Today I am mostly thinking about what football means to me and what I'll feel like when it returns. Right now I don't feel like I've missed it that much, so the noises that 'Project Restart' will commence from [...]
Happy Easter Mondy y'all. Hope your Easter Sunday was as fun as you can make it. We had decent weather in West London so I managed to get out for a walk, before things got a bit tropical with a thunderstorm and lightning display, which worked out ok as The Management and I went full [...]
Morning folks, hope all is good with you, during this isolation period which is increasingly feeling like a widespread household arrest we're all involved in at the moment. The Sainsbury's supermarket opposite me is doing my nut in though. I'm not a queuer. I simply refuse. Whenever there's a queue I get The Management to [...]
Morning folks. Well, here you have it, it's a lockdown in the UK which means no more going outside at all unless you're exercising. I have a supermarket - a big one - opposite me and already this morning I've seen people queuing to get themselves inside the store to buy their essentials. Strap yourselves [...]
Well yesterday the site appeared to be having a tantrum on me and so no blog, but today the ol' girl is back up and running and here I sit at the desk in my office at home trying to think up some inspiration. I must say kudos to the various football club social media [...]
If you could map out a football weekend this season in which Arsenal don’t play, but you can have a thoroughly enjoyable time, well this weekend has so far been it. Leicester lost on Friday. Chelski drew yesterday. But the biggest ‘tick’ of the weekend was Liverpool being spanked 3-0 by Watford. It means no [...]
Of ever you needed a clear-cut example of how Tony Pauli’s is ‘anti-football’, it can be evidenced by Serge Gnabry and his goals against Chelski last night, quickly followed by a collective groan by Arsenal fans everywhere. I’m not saying Pulis is totally to blame for the ‘exit stage left’ of Gnabry from Arsenal, but [...]
Still nothing really meaty from the club ahead of the weekend's fixture with Newcastle, but that's to be expected give that it's Thursday, as well as the fact it's a home game. Arsène liked to do easy on a Friday, being Spanish Unai preferred them later on in the day, but Arteta has so many [...]
