So for England the dream of a World Cup final dies and much like most of my life it happens wondering why the national team have always fallen short. Perhaps it's in the collective national psyche, because for a nation with the money, the domestic league, plus the talent in some positions, one World Cup [...]
Another day, another new signing in the bag for Arsenal and it's one that whilst we've waited a while to get over the line, it's been done and confirmed and I cannot be happier. This is the type of profile of player that we needed at the club. Lucas Torreira may be small but he [...]
I've gotta be honest with you; felt a little bit weird seeing Jack Wilshere in a West Ham shirt yesterday. I don't know why because there have clearly been pictures of him as a little boy in a West Ham shirt, due to his family supporting the club, but it still felt odd and I [...]
Morning folks! How y'all doing? It's good times for me, on account of this unusually warm weather we've got in the UK, which is what us Brits have always said we'd find absolutely acceptable in the summer given we have to go through drizzle, grey and grim sh*t for most of the year. The sun [...]
I know people are quick to read into things, especially online and I am certainly not immune to this, but we keep getting these videos of the team training, working on fitness, showing the backroom staff doing their thing on Arsenal.com and it's hard not to see the stark contrast between this and the previous [...]
Today feels like the first proper 'lully' day from a football perspective this summer. Before the World Cup there was build up but also we had the change in Arsenal manager, the swift arrivals of players and the feeling that this summer we actually have a 'plan' to the signings that are being made, followed [...]
I spend a lot of my time trying to convince The Management - and probably myself as well - that I don't really care about England or international football. And I suppose for the most part that's true; I don't tend to watch the friendlies, I won't make sure I'm near a TV when the [...]
In this past week I've talked about the importance of momentum, about how when we've even been anywhere near the top of the league at any stage, it's been because we've had a good start to the season and that has carried through until at least the midway point. Yesterday I talked about it being [...]
Yesterday my blog featured a few words and a picture of Joel Campbell, speculating that it's a clean slate for many and that players like Joel might think they have a chance with the new man at the helm, but having watched him in bits and pieces of yesterday's Costa Rica game against England I [...]
Morning folks. It was a bank holiday yesterday in the UK and as a result I simply couldn't be arsed to drag my sorry carcass out of bed to write a blog. But also there was a dearth of news that is available on Arsenal and so I just figured 'meh'. Then yesterday afternoon I [...]
