Morning folks. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Another Arsenal-less Saturday it is, although let's be honest, we're going to have to get used to that in the immediate future, because in February we only have two matches to play! I know it's a short month, but it won't feel like it from an Arsenal [...]
Sigh. Double sigh. That's it for our domestic cup campaigns and we find ourselves out of them both within the space of two weeks. It is frustrating, but for some reason, I am reeling even more than I thought I would this morning. I think it is because in my mind I'd built up this [...]
A bit like The Arsenal, I took a day off yesterday from writing the blog, mainly because I was hanging and a little tired after a weekend of excess celebrating The Management's birthday. But whilst on Saturday I wrote about Arsenal stepping down off the morale high ground and how it made me feel uneasy, [...]
Morning all and welcome to Tuesday. Now, I feel like I've gone on a little bit about the League Cup situation and the postponement lately, so after today I am hoping that I don't bother to bring it up unless talking about the actual football context, but I do feel compelled to do a little [...]
Morning folks and welcome to matchday. It is one of my most favourite match days of the year actually; FA Cup third round day. A chance to travel to a ground that you don't often go to and for me I haven't been to the City Ground, so a new one to tick off the [...]
There's no place to start today other than our manager Mikel Arteta, who the club confirmed yesterday contracted COVID for the second time in just under two years, meaning he is now in isolation and will not be on the bench for the game against Man City on New Years Day. I think this is [...]
So it seems we are now playing the waiting game when it comes to our Boxing Day fixture. Two games were called off yesterday, including Wolves’ match against Leeds and that means Wolves will have had a full nine days rest between their 0-0 draw against Chelski on 19th and when they play us. Hardly [...]
So we know our fate for the semi final of the Carabao Cup and it's a two-legged affair with Liverpool that we'll need to contend with in January. Of course of the three teams left in the competition we could have faced - The Scum, Chelski and Liverpool - it is the scousers who are [...]
Three points, loads of goals, am impressive performance and to top it all off.....away from home! As the countdown to kick off slowly approached yesterday I found myself checking my football news feeds for stories that the game was going to get called off. Villa vs Burnley was announced a couple of hours before kick [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday. Hope you're all feeling good? I had to take the first of my lateral flow 'countdown to Christmas' tests this morning. I didn't go to West Ham on Wednesday because I didn't want to risk it, plus the fact I was in the Tollington on Saturday and it was [...]
