Midweek match day. An opportunity to break up the monotony of the working week with a spot of Arsenal and if the footballing gods are with us, hopefully a victory to add the gloss to the weekend semi final win. It's a resurrected Leicester City who come to town and despite the fact we haven't [...]
I didn't get to watch the Arsenal Legends vs Milan Glorie yesterday afternoon, as I was out and about in Portugal with The Management, but I've had a look at the highlights on the official site and I must say, I was quite impressed with the standard of play that was on show from both [...]
This has got to be a wind up, right? Arsenal linked with Johnny Evans? AS in, former United squad player, deemed surplus to requirements, plays in a pretty average West Brom side, Johnny Evans. But that we're linked, that we're even linked, isn't even the punchline. £16million. THAT'S the punchline. I don't even know where to go with [...]
I could really do without more stories about Jamie Vardy and Arsenal now, y'know? The latest one we have to endure is that he wasn't convinced That Arsenal's possession-based football would suit him. I kinda get that, to be honest, but I am surprised that he doesn't feel confident enough in his own ability to [...]
So, big news, eh? Yep, Jamie Vardy's snubbed Arsenal and agreed a new deal to stay at Leicester, upping his wages to around £100k per week. Fair play to the guy, I say, because he's managed to enhance his reputation, increase his take home pay, plus he doesn't need to worry about relocation for his [...]
Well, it looks as though my assumptions based on the Vardy situation were a bit off, eh? You'd have to say so, after Arsène was interviewed on Chinese TV suggesting that the striker will most likely stay at Leicester. It'll be a bizarre decision if it happens, but if that's the case then I'm not sure [...]
Oh, hello there, how are you doing? I had a bit of a slack day yesterday. I try blogging every day about general random football-related thoughts, but yesterday was a bit of an off day for me, on account of the fact I had some serious hanging to get through. I went to an awards [...]
Today is being billed by Arsenal Twitter as #TeamWilshere versus #TeamRamsey, as Wales take on England and I take on my business to ensure I secure a longer than usual lunch hour, along with most of the gents in my office. Probably. The reality is that as long as they both don't break each other's [...]
Despite being much maligned by, it seems, most fanbases, I must say I found it satisfying to see Olivier Giroud get his Euro2016 tournament underway, last night in Paris. We all know his limitations. We all know that an over-reliance on him has cost us over recent years, but what his goal and performance showed [...]
It's Friday, the Euro's start this evening and I must confess, I'm a little excited about it. Perhaps it's because it adds some what of a carnival festival to the summer, or perhaps it's simply that there is some sort of football to talk about, but I think I'm actually going to enjoy international football [...]
