Morning all. Well it’s finally here, the first leg of our Champions League semi-final clash with PSG. PSG’s journey came via the playoffs having failed to qualify for the knockout stage automatically. They despatched Brest 10-0 over the two fixtures. In March, their first knockout round ended 1-1 against Liverpool with penalties needed to […]
Morning all. Well that was a fine performance by Renée Slegers Arsenal yesterday evening in the Groupama Stadium, Lyon. Arsenal struggled to get going in the home tie last weekend but yesterday, they hit the ground running. Trailing 2-1, they needed an early goal and they got one. Or rather Lyon […]
Morning all. Football sprung another couple of surprises this weekend. PSG were beaten 3-1 at home by Nice on Friday night and yesterday, Crystal Palace absolutely thumped Aston Villa. The result ended 3-0 and that’s including a missed penalty. I watched the game and thoroughly enjoyed watching Emi Martinez concede goals. A great […]
Morning all. Mustering up something about Arsenal is a bit tricky now. The domestic season is all but over with Liverpool expected to be crowned lucky winners of the Premier League title this weekend when in all likelihood, they will batter a dreadful Totts team. The media are desperate to make the race […]
Morning all. Last night’s draw against Crystal Palace was Arsenal’s 13th draw of the season, 6 of which have been at The Emirates. Apart from the goalless draw against Everton, we’d been ahead in all of the drawn games. Add in the defeat to West Ham and it’s clear to see why the […]
Morning all. No, I’m not referring to one of Dido’s big hits, but the words of Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner after his Crystal Palace side battled hard against Bournemouth for a point at the weekend. He said his team aren’t heading to The Emirates to wave a white flag. Bearing in mind […]
Morning all. Well that was all a bit easy wasn’t it? The perfect opponent really as it turned out. 11 v 11, Ipswich couldn’t cope with the threat of Arsenal, 10 v 11 and the game just drifted along until Chris Kavanagh blew his whistle for the last time in the match. There was […]
Morning all. The women’s match against Lyon was a good one but frustratingly, Arsenal go into the second leg, which is next Sunday, a goal down. However, we created enough chances to know that this semi-final is far from over. I thought the referee was a bit lenient with Lyon’s play acting […]
Morning all. I know Mikel Arteta held his pre-match press conference yesterday but today isn’t about the men because the women’s side of Arsenal Football Club take on Lyon in the first leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-final at lunchtime today. Lyon are top of their league having not lost a game to […]
Morning all. When last nights man of the match Declan Rice tore into Thomas Partey late in the game for picking up a stupid booking, it showed what this competition means to Arsenal. By that stage of course, there was no coming back for Real Madrid but already, Rice knew what impact the […]
Morning all. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid. A stadium which has a seating capacity of 78,297 making it the second largest football stadium in Spain. Tonight, the majority of the stadium will be filled with Real Madrid fans, all desperate to help their team overturn the 3-0 defeat suffered […]
Morning all. Well, did you stay up to watch The Masters final round? Yep, me too. It was amazing. Poor old Rory must have gone through a rollercoaster of emotions as he let a lead slip away, return and slip away again on the final hole. An18th hole playoff between he and Justin […]
