Keep ‘em crossed for two days….

Morning all. Antonio Conte has finally left a building of no interest, leaving those not so noisy neighbours in need of another manager. Whoever it is, he’ll be their fourth in two years. I think his last and final rant about the club was calculated, with an exit on...

Deliberate?

Morning all. International breaks are tough, boring and oh so quiet. Honestly, I’m not overly interested in England these days. I’ve tried but they’re so, well, boring. I read something yesterday about Gareth Southgate and how the numbers have reduced as far as his...

One down, one to go…

One week down, five days to go and then the boys will be back. Bukayo Saka won the head to head bragging rights over Jorginho a couple of nights ago as England beat Italy, a game in which Kane became the highest scoring penalty taker in history, or something like...

Summer plans up and running…

Morning all. How unlucky were the Arsenal Women’s team last night, two cleared off the line, one hit the post, plenty of other opportunities and two penalty shouts turned down. Jonas Eidevall said after their 1-0 defeat: Part of me is angry, because obviously VAR was...

Arsenal dish out a Palace spanking.

Morning all. This group of Arsenal players seldom seem to surprise. Tired bodies after 120 minutes of football just a couple of days ago, then penalties and the sucker punch. Defeat. My fear was a lethargic performance yesterday, a struggle to get going and even...

Pivotal fixture in Arsenal’s season..

Morning all. Having been 3-1 up against Southampton with just over fifteen minutes to go, Tottenham ended up drawing 3-3. Antonio Conte went into meltdown in his ten minute post match press conference. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth watching just for it’s...

Out, but no time to feel down…..

Morning all. Disappointed? Of course, but over the two legs, did we really deserve more? Regardless of your or my opinion, we’re out of the Europa Cup. Beaten on penalties but the killer blow was Sporting CP’s equaliser which was incredibly good. Aaron Ramsdale will...

Arsenal v Sporting. Quarter’s on offer…

Evening guys. Arsenal take on Sporting CP shortly. Any kind of home win and we’re through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League Cup. Like Arsenal, Sporting won 3-0 at the weekend so they’ll be confident. After the game, Sporting boss Amorim said: It was a perfect...

Two Horse Race?

Morning all I heard/read the words “it’s a two horse race” the other day in reference to the Premier League title. I still think Man Utd shouldn’t be written off entirely but it would take a huge dip in form and dreadful run of results for both City and ourselves for...
