Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]
This season has absolutely battered Arsenal with injuries from day one, so perhaps it is no surprise that I've woken up this morning to jot down some thoughts, only to find that Leandro Trossard limped off after 37 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 defeat to Israel in Budapest yesterday. I haven't read any comments that talk [...]
There's only really one place to start today, eh? David Coote. Winning of the "I'm going to send Tomiyasu off for breathing on Jordan Ayew" award for farcical refereeing, was yesterday suspended from duties by the PGMOL, pending an investigation into his conduct. The video that leaked - a pretty clear-cut case of two blokes having [...]
There's no way to sugar coat it today. There is no way to dress up yesterday abysmal Arsenal performance. There is only the truth that needs to be spoken and sadly what you're going to read for the next 1,000 or so words is that of a disappointed Gooner with very little positivity. Arsenal's defeat [...]
Oh god how I hate these interminable international breaks. It feels like, for this season in particular, they were sent to try us Arsenal fans, as Saka limped off last night in England's pointless 2-1 defeat to Greece. Honestly, I wish international football was just fired in to the sun. I suppose it's my own [...]
I think I can speak for most Arsenal fans this morning when I say: International football can get in the f*cking bin. And then that bin can be thrown in the sea. Because you - like me I am sure - will be pretty cheesed off about the Martin Odegaard injury last night. He landed [...]
Ahh man it's a barren football wasteland out there right now. There is absolutely nothing anybody can say that would convince me that tonight's match between the Republic of Ireland and England is one worth getting invested in. I'm up in Northumberland and the Management's uncle is a Newcastle and England fan, so he'll probably [...]
No matter how much I might try to today, there is absolutely no way of looking at that game yesterday any other way than through the lens of that 49th minute ‘incident’ featuring Veltman and Rice. As you will already know, on a yellow, Rice and Veltman came together by the corner flag and a [...]
had a fun start to the day this morning talking with my old mukka Dave on the Gooners v Cancer 27 hour podathon this morning. Giving a quick shout out here so if you want to donate as it's great work Mike and the team do and it's amazing to see all the guests come [...]
Having spent the weekend at Glastonbury and not getting any signal to watch the Euro's other than the England game on Sunday (I managed to use the Management's work phone through some of jiggery pokery), I managed to get to watch both of the games yesterday and so feel like I'm back on track with [...]
