What would England give for a Santi? Or a Bellerin? They have a Jack though…

Today I embark on a journey that will see me climb the UK's three biggest 'peaks' (although I have some kiwis in my team that assure me that they're just 'inclines' - they would know I guess) in the space of 24 hours and, if you were to see the amount of paraphernalia I have [...]

It’s not Giroud’s fault; Chambers’ Arsenal career at a crossroads

Reckon I had too much alcohol in my system after a bank holiday weekend of boozing, because I've woken up this morning feeling the cold sweats of lady liquor, which is never the best way to start your working week. At least the weather isn't hindering my ability to wake up - it's blustery as [...]

Is everyone still alive?

So we can finally bid adieu to this latest round of international friendlies and hopefully with a bit of luck, the damage will be negligible for Arsenal players returning to the club today and tomorrow, for Watford at home on Saturday.  I didn't bother watching the England vs The Netherlands game except for a two [...]

Keep Mesut by surrounding him with talent

Ahh man this international break is dragging, isn't it? It's like the last 15 minutes of your final lesson of the day when you were at school, a subject you absolutely detest and just want to get out in to the sweet, sweet fresh air and freedom. We're at Monday and still a full six days [...]

Positive Arsenal involvement in yesterday’s games

As the French national anthem belted out in Wembley stadium last night, I could not help but be proud of the fact that through such unspeakable acts of violence, people can come together to show solidarity in support of the French people. It was lovely to see two nations so often opposed as we and [...]

Life is precious and must go on – football too

Decided to take a few days away from blogging over the weekend. With what happened on Friday night, which I found out about on Saturday morning, totally took me away from any thoughts of writing. I had my parents over for the weekend and as we watched the news on Saturday morning, it didn't even [...]

Dividends, desperation (Jose) and derbies (of the Watford variety)

Quite a lot to get through, after an eventful day yesterday, eh? First and foremost, the AGM and I'll make this relatively brief because a) I wasn't there, and b) it has precious little to do with what is on the pitch and more about what is happening in the boardroom. Or not happening, apparently, [...]

Pressing blueprint laid, let’s hope the players remember when they’re back from the internationals

I do find it amusing having a look at the official site after a big win, because there seems to be no end to the positive stories that appear, as opposed to after a crushing defeat when we get practically nothing. Radio silence is clearly the would de jour on those occasions. And who can blame [...]
