With all of the furore with the Brihgton game, with it happening so soon after the transfer window shut last Friday, I realised I'd barley even had time to properly think a out the fact that Arsenal had signed Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on what we all know is a super deal for the club. [...]
Morning folks. How we all doing on this Monday morning? Still reeling from the weekend? At least the defeat by The Scum and humbling United took gives a little crumb of humour to proceedings. When you can't revel in your own glory, do it in the failings of others, eh? What that does do after [...]
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 [...]
What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]
That felt like a BIG win yesterday, I have to tell you guys, because at 60-odd minutes I was pacing up and down of the house I'm staying in, in the Algarve, wondering how we were going to get anything from a game that I thought Villa were starting to get a little more control [...]

Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good. I don't know why I still get triggered by lazy journalism, but I do, falling victim to shoddy 'takes from so-called professionals not once, but twice in the last 12 hours. First it was Charlie Wyatt on Sky Sports last night, who described Mikel Merino as a [...]
As we start to tick ever closer towards our tough start to the season (Wolves notwithstanding), looking ahead at our next few games has occupied my thoughts quite a bit more than it usually does, I have to admit. When the fixtures first came out there was a bit of dialogue about how hard we [...]
Now that was your archetypal first game of the season win at home yesterday, right? The excitement was there, the expectation was there, it was a beautifully sunny day in North London and The Arsenal were back. I made my way to the Highbury area with some hope and expectation of good times, but football [...]
Here we are folks - match day! I have to tell you, I know this feeling well from many years on this planet and many times experiencing this s well as getting to go to The Arsenal on the first day of the season, but this feels like the most excited I've been of what's [...]
