I watched about 15 minutes of the England game yesterday - enough to see Shaw score for England - before flicking over and watching something else whilst I was cooking. I'm sorry but I just cannot get in to international football until there are the big international competitions and even then I probably only watch [...]
Howdy folks and welcome to another Arsenaless weekend. They really do suck, don't they? International weekend's can be a blessing and a curse. If your team is having a shocker it proves welcome respite from the stress of knowing that you don't have to fall into a football pit of despair when your team plays. [...]
Having to do today’s ramblings via my Smartphone unfortunately, so going back to pre-pandemic ways, which means the high probabilities of typos and other such predictive text nonsense. So please bear with. But what’s been going through my mind today has been - unsurprisingly perhaps - the ‘permutations’ of the remainder of this season. I [...]
Morning folks. How are we all feeling? Tis' better to go in to an international week of boredom with the glow of victory just behind us than the spectre of defeat, eh? I for one love it, because it means continuous gorging on Arsenal content without it winding me up. I go running every day [...]
I only really got in to football at the age of seven/eight and with a mother and father not in to it (Dad was always more of a golf and cricket man to a lesser extent), I was late to the obsession compared to some of my school mates. So by the time Anfield 89 [...]
It was always going to be too much to expect Everton to turn up and deliver a performance at the Toilet Bowl against The Scum, but by god, I didn't expect such a pathetic display as they showed. I went for a walk and saw that the Scum had scored their second on 16 minutes [...]
That felt like a strange old game yesterday away to Watford. Strange and ultimately good, but still unusual, in terms of how the match evolved and then finished. Yesterday morning I wrote that I didn't think Watford would be pushovers; they don't score a lot of goals but Roy Hodgson is a manager who has [...]
I always have this thing in my head during the season that if one team who is fighting for similar honours to Arsenal drops points, it can be seen as a good weekend. Last weekend when we beat Brentford it was great, but it felt like there was not a lot of advancement because the [...]
I write this blog every morning and usually I write my body of content first, then try to think of a headline that summarises the blog I've just written. But occasionally, very rarely, I start with the title of the blog and take it from there. Today is such an occasion because after watching Emile [...]
Howdy all, hope you're all ok and feeling good? On Saturday I basked in the glow of victory and tried to ignore all of the other results around us. Arsenal did their bit, played well despite some more atrocious refereeing decisions, which will have given us all confidence and hope that we can kick on [...]
