Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]
I said it in the aftermath of Friday's press conferences, that Fulham feels a little more difficult than when we looked at this run of games pre-international break, but I feel it even more this morning: This is going to be hard today. Fulham are decent at home. Four wins, one draw and two defeats [...]
BIG game today. Very big game. I touched on it yesterday about how the pundits are pretty much all siding with us and that 'Jones Knows' chat on Sky even went for a 4-1 thrashing. Lawrenson has gone 2-1 Arsenal Sutton has gone for a 3-1 to us. We should beat them. We have a better [...]
Yesterday I did a bit of a look at West Ham, but with Arteta and Lopetegui having their press conferences yesterday, we have a little more detail and I think I'll obviously focus a little more on us today. But before that, the West Ham team news, which Lopetegui talked about alongside handing our a [...]
In what is becoming a bit of a habit for me at the moment, I thought I'd go an check out the situation on some of the West Ham forums this morning, to get a bit of a vibe check on the opposition fans in the run up to our game against them. Unlike in [...]
So we're back in Champions League action this evening and it's the Portuguese champions we are up against in Lisbon tonight, in a game that sees a repeat of the March 2023 Europa League Round of 16 we played in March 2023. That game finished 2-2 and at the time I think most of us [...]
Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]
With Mikel Arteta not due to have his presser ahead of the Forest game until 1.30pm today, I thought I'd go hunting around to find out a little bit about how our opponents have got on his season so far, as well as how their fans are feeling ahead of Nottingham Forest's trip to The [...]
Yesterday's City defeat has cast today's game in a slightly different light I think. I still believe that if Arsenal lose, we're probably out of the title race, but a draw puts us one point closer to them and although Liverpool will be nine points clear of us, that isn't unsurmountable. Liverpool won against Villa [...]
Mikel Arteta had his say ahead of tomorrow's tough encounter with Chelsea yesterday and, as usual, he was relatively tight-lipped on who was available. He confirmed that Declan Rice hadn't trained as of yesterday and I guess we all have to hope that his admission that he 'has to be vague' is just his way [...]
