Morning folks. Hope you're well. Doing a little bit of R&R at The Management's Northumbrian-based family over the next week, so some of my usual ramblings might be a little later in release than usual as I sleep in. But I'll let you know if I see Joe Willock rock up in a hotel restaurant [...]
Morning folks. Another Monday comes rolling around but unlike most Monday's, this one has the hyperbole of being labelled 'Transfer Deadline Day', which means Sky Sports go nuts all wearing silly yellow ties and dresses, they talk a little faster on Sky Sports News, they inject some kind of faux urgency into a day that is [...]
How is it Friday already? How has this come around so quickly? Feels like only yesterday I was starting to stress about a double header against a difficult Southampton side that engage in high-press football and yet here we are, what feels like a few blinks of an eye later, with that game consigned to [...]
Four games. Four wins. 12 points. 12 goals scored. Qualification from the Europa League group stages which means that for the final two games Arteta can rest some key players over a business period because unless Rapid win both of their games by scoring eight goals in the process, we should also top the group [...]
Morning all. It's another matchday and, I have to tell you I never thought i'd say this, but the Europa League represents some welcome respite from what has become the monotony of our domestic campaign.

Morning all and welcome to the gateway to the weekend: Friday. These Friday's have become familiar to us, when we have to digest and dissect a game last night in the Europa League and thankfully, for the second week in a row, it is a victory that we are thinking about. Dundalk were dispatched with [...]
Morning all and welcome to matchday Thursday. Now, there are two schools of thought when it comes to how we approach today's game: Name a strong team, batter our opponent, then sub off as many key players as possible for Sunday's game away to Man United Name a completely rotated side, run the risk of [...]
Another win, another game in which we can take confidence from the team performance, another match in which Arteta is making his mark on this Arsenal team and we can all be happy about the fact that last night Arsenal progressed to the next round of the Carabao Cup. Even if the likelihood is another [...]
Quite out of the blue yesterday we all got treated to a little early evening entertainment, as the club announced a friendly against MK Dons which was to be at 6pm, which was a nice little boost to my Tuesday evening I have to say. So I tuned in to have a little watch last [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the penultimate week of this season, finally drawing to a close with a trip to Villa Park, followed by Watford at home next Sunday. And to add to that we now know our fate in terms of the FA Cup Final in just under two week's time, as Chelski smashed [...]
