Yesterday I penned some thoughts about who could most benefit from the second pre season we're about to get. You can have a read of that here if you like. Then, as I was out on my run this morning, I was listening to one of the many Arsenal podcasts I tune in to when [...]
Hello, hello, hello, how are you doing today? Are you feeling chipper now that we're knocking down the doors of the North London Derby game on Saturday? I'm not. Hate this fixture more than anything else. Home or away, I hate it. The worry, the nerves, the stress, it all just builds until the moment [...]
Is there anything more mind-numbingly boring than the Monday after an international break? I'm not so sure there is. We had some of the WSL to entertain people and I've kept track of some of it, as I've mentioned, but much like youth football, or picking a 'local' team to watch, or even an overseas [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. I spent my Saturday doing all manner of jobs and then today i'm going to relax and enjoy a day of rest. I saw that the Arsenal ladies gave the Scum ladies a good ol' fashioned tonking and that's always good to hear. I've seen a couple of the [...]
Couple of days away from blogging for me over the last two; the first was because of a super-early get up to head off to an all company away day and so I didn't have the chance to, but the second - yesterday - was due in large part to the big hangover I had [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday - hope we're all feeling grand? In the UK it has somewhat unexpectantly become a bank holiday this weekend because of the Queen's funeral, which means I'm up north visiting the in-laws, looking out on to a crystal clear Northumbrian morning as I type today. It's quite peaceful. I [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing on this Sunday, eh? Me? I'm feeling a wee bit fragile, as I went to a gin festival yesterday and basically drank about a litre of different spirits, followed by going for a few drinks after and drinking wine and beer. They say it is 'Mothers Ruin'. They are [...]
After what has been a lovely ol' bank holiday weekend spent playing some golf and doing a bit of family time, I find myself rather relaxed and happy on this Sunday morn that I write to you. I've played a bit of golf this weekend, had a couple of barbeques and barely looked at Twitter [...]
Well we're rounding the corner of the interlull and by golly, hasn't this felt like a longer than usual one, eh? It really has dragged on and I for one cannot wait until the weekend. Actually, scrap that, I cannot wait for next Monday, because that is when The Arsenal play. I went for my [...]
I watched about 15 minutes of the England game yesterday - enough to see Shaw score for England - before flicking over and watching something else whilst I was cooking. I'm sorry but I just cannot get in to international football until there are the big international competitions and even then I probably only watch [...]
