Morning all. When Arsenal were drawn to face Preston in the FA Cup, my mind cast back to a joke I once heard. Not the kind of language I am keen on, but it was funny regardless. Two Hard of Hearing Guys In A Pub. Two hard of hearing guys walk into a pub in Burnley, one […]
Morning all. Much has been made of the body language, outbursts, sulking etc etc of Alexis Sanchez after Tuesdays match against Bournemouth. He stormed off the pitch after the final whistle, not shaking any players hand according to some. He was angry, that was visibly clear, and not for the first time since he joined […]
Morning all. Just another game away from home and another really awful performance, until the last twenty minutes. Bellerin had a nightmare in defence which allowed Bournemouth to take the lead, Xhaka showed inexperience to give away a penalty and then I still don’t know how the home team was allowed to score a third… At […]
Morning all. At least this year has started well enough with a comfortable win over Crystal Palace at The Emirates but it’s nights like tonight which are key to where we end up in May. The last two away fixtures have seen us score early, drop in our performance and end up losing 2-1. That’s […]
Morning all. I was planning to describe the passage of play before Olivier Giroud scored his goal yesterday but The Mail have done me a huge favour. As much as the finish was outrageous, the build up was vintage Arsenal. Quick, clean passing followed by a not particularly good cross from Alexis Sanchez but somehow, […]
Morning all. What an awful year 2016 was. So many lives have been lost, not all from natural causes and yet again this morning we wake up to the news that yet another terrorist attack has killed many more in Istanbul whilst ordinary people were innocently seeing in the New Year. This is a cruel and ghastly […]
Morning all. It was bound to happen wasn’t it? After Mathieu Debuchy was claimed to have said that he and Arsene Wenger speak very little to each other, other than a polite ‘bonjour’ as their paths cross, the taller of the two Frenchman has categorically such goings on. ‘I speak to all the players’ he […]
Morning all. As described in the media, this really would be a ‘Roy of the Rovers story’ if it happens. Cohen Bramall, who was playing in the eighth-tier of football with Market Drayton last season and is now with Hednesford Town in the Evo-Stik Northern League Premier Division has just spent a couple of days […]
Morning all.. Well, so much for getting an early goal and killing them off as they went in search of an equaliser eh. Yesterday was all about perseverance against a very defensive West Brom side and that’s just what the boys did. With 86 minutes on the clock, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud combined well […]
Morning all. Well that’s Christmas Day over for another year and what a shock it brought to the music world. At 53 years old, George Michael passed away just a few miles down the road from me. A terribly sad way to end what was such a lovely day. The media really are b******s though. […]
Morning all. A day off from football because today for me is about something very different. It’s it’s not just about the veggie style pigs in blankets, or chestnut stuffing, it’s a day to be with family, friends and loved ones as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who arrived on earth so many years […]
Morning all. Great news re Danny Welbeck. He’s back in training with his team-mates but we won’t see him for a few weeks yet. Maybe a game or two for the under 23’s will be in store for him as he builds up his strength and match fitness. I’ll never forget his goal against Leicester […]
