Well, well, well. Did I not expect that. Wowsers. I mean, I knew that Real Madrid were ‘getable’. I knew they had weaknesses. I knew that they had issues at full back and that’s where we, as a team, tend to excel with the personnel that we have. But still…this is Real Madrid. A team [...]
Last night’s 2-1 victory over a pretty average Fulham side (despite the fact they were in eighth before kick off) had a bit of a low-key affair to it, if I’m completely honest with you. Despite the fact Saka was named in the squad, despite the fact he came on to rapturous applause and even [...]
I have to say, based on what I thought we’d have yesterday evening against a PSV side that must have know the jig is up after the final whistle went on the first leg last week, I didn’t picture that there’d be much in offer on a relatively chilly night in North London yesterday evening. [...]
At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]
Got a busy one today at work, hence the delayed time of penning some thoughts, as I'm dropping some words in between meetings and also on company time. Don't tell anyone - you know I'm good for it. And bloody hell, Arsenal were good for it last night, eh? I think one of the most [...]
After the defeat to West Ham at the weekend I took a bit of time away from social media and blogging. That defeat was the nail in the coffin for any lingering title hopes and I just didn't feel like dipping back into the Arsenal world to lament and stew on what has been a Seasonis [...]
I enjoy writing. I always have. It's kind of my hobby. It's why I work in Marketing - I enjoy writing content and I get to do it (less so these days as I run a team that does most of it) in my job talking about the industry I work in. It's why I [...]
Talk about a variation of emotions from the start, middle and ending of a football match, eh? On about 75 minutes Amanda messaged me and asked whether to bother with doing a post match Same Old Arsenal podcast. It'd been a pretty turgid game, punctuated only with the occasional bright spark from eventual man of [...]
Morning folks. It's matchday again! After a ten day hiatus, The Arsenal are back, the nerves are back, the trepidation remains and the trip to Leicester - whilst ordinarily I'd see it as an opportunity to potentially rack up some goals given their position and form - that is fraught with concern given our attacking [...]
After just a few minutes at St James' Park I had an inkling that this game was going to be very much a case of Deja Vu for us up in the North East. A bouncing ball in the middle of the park wasn't won by Partey, Isaak was found in space in behind and Arsenal [...]
