Eventually, it was an Arsenal performance that had everything: Dominance, goals, a little rotation to keep players fresh for the weekend. But it wasn’t the kind of free-flowing performance that had many around me in the ground last night saying that we were purring like a well-oiled machine. I guess that’s only natural. Arteta rang […]
The second that Chris Kavanagh produced the second yellow card from Gravenberch to effectively end the contest (even though it was still 0-0 at the time), I switched the football off and watched the remainder of Kung Fu Panda 3. There was no point in continuing to watch that farce that was on display. Playing […]
FINALLY! MATCHDAY! And it’s Leeds United for The Arsenal for the early kick-off today, which means I’ll be dumping these thoughts on here, going for a quick run, then making my way straight to Highbury for a pre-match warm-up with my mate Steve. These early ones are funny, I find, because they’re usually a little […]
The news broke that we kind of already knew yesterday, but it was still important and lovely to read nonetheless: Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with The Arsenal This is fantastic news. Yes, everyone was ‘calma’ about it at The Arsenal; the journos ‘in the know’ were all saying it is pretty much […]
I would call myself an occasional ‘follower’ of the Arsenal Women. I want them to do well; I’ll switch on the games if they are on TV, and I hope they can get it together and win trophies. It is The Arsenal, after all. But I wouldn’t profess to call myself an expert on The […]
Well it sounds like Kai Havertz is going to be out for three to four weeks with his hamstring injury, if some of the noises from the socials are to be believed. If that has been confirmed by the club, if it is three weeks, say, then we’re looking at him being back by 24th […]
This Man City stuff is going to dominate the headlines for a while yet, isn’t it? Especially given that the City higher-ups are showing no contrition, no remorse, and instead are doubling down on their situation. Their latest ‘lever’ to pull is to get Etihad Airways involved, who are briefing to the press that they […]
England bagged a win away at the Czech Republic yesterday, with Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly in the starting lineup, and having obviously not bothered to watch the game, I was hoping to see that Bukayo had a decent performance. I’ve spoken already about how he’s been doing ok this season, bagged some goals, but […]
Obviously I didn’t bother watching the England v Spain game last night, and instead watched a movie with Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson called ‘The Fix’. It wasn’t bad, actually, since you asked. But whilst it was downloading to my Sky box, I did watch about two minutes of the game that coincided with Harry […]
We’re not even a full week into this extended and, frankly, f*cking annoying international foreverness, and we’ve already got a reason to say piss off to it. Honestly, this is why we seem to get more annoyed by international breaks than anyone else, because it feels like every time we have one, there’s an Arsenal […]
