Do I even like football any more without The Arsenal?

Morning folks. Hope you are well. The European Super League stuff keeps rumbling on and I suspect will do for quite some time. I can't speak to anybody else, but it has left me feeling quite hollow, I have to say. I started the first iteration of this daily blog in August 2011. I remember [...]

This should have been a post match review of our poor performance against Fulham yesterday. I should be bemoaning the application of VAR and a penalty in which I don't think Gabriel even touched the Fulham player who went down in the Arsenal box like a sack of spuds. We should lament the fact that [...]

I was having a read of the always excellent 7amkickoff's blog yesterday. I don't read lots of blogs (not even my own! But you could probably tell that given the typos sometimes ;-) ) but occasionally check in on some and this one intrigued me because it was about the possibility of the UEFA Super [...]

Morning peeps. Happy Friday! How did that come around so quickly? I don't know if it's the same for you, but my first work week has absolutely flown by and I've got to be honest with you, I'm pretty glad about that, because: I've also given up booze I'm currently trying to shift Christmas pounds [...]

Morning folks. Hope you're all good where you are? For me it's back to work and whilst the scenery doesn't change much - desk jockey working from home for the foreseeable future - the lack of booze and late get ups does, so I'm a wee bit groggy this morning, I must confess. Perhaps that's [...]

You've got to love the Arsenal fanbase. Last night as the door began creaking shut on the transfer window, Arsenal confirmed Thomas Partey as our final signing of this extended summer window, having finally paid the release clause and agreed the deal with the Ghanaian and his representatives. Going the other way - although we [...]

Morning all, hope you’re all fine and dandy and feeling grand, on this Tuesday before the start of the new season? For me it’s a weird one because I’m travelling in on the tube for the first time in six months and I’m already surrounded by a bunch of ‘orrible school kids, one of which [...]

The clubs’ belief in Arteta makes the future exciting

Another day, another ‘step closer’ in the Gabriel Magalhaes saga, which appears to be reaching its natural conclusion. I mean, when Sky Sports are flashing the ol’ yellow ‘breaking’ banner on their website, you know they’ve been ripped off to it essentially being done. So the hope is we get some news today at some [...]

Howdy folks and guten morgen from the passenger side of a car The Management is driving to take us home from a weekend of boozing in Richmond in which we’ve seen a Willian signing, a Raul exiting, then yesterday it was the “the king is dead, long live the king” interview with Vinai Ventakatesham, who [...]

Wellety, wellety, wellety. Yesterday I woke up a little hungover round a friends house, grabbed myself some bacon and eggs, then started planning the rest of the day for a bit of a bar crawl and some Po’ Boys in Kingston at the end. What I didn’t expect was to be glued to my phone [...]
