Well, what did you expect? I like puns. I also like the fact that we put out the sort of side we did tonight, and still gave a very good account of ourselves. Unfortunately we are missing key figures in attack when we play a full first team these days, so to expect the second […]

There are games that live in the memory, and others where the result is the only thing that may just be retained. This one fell in the latter category, I suspect, but was none the less intriguing for that. When was the last time you saw a team select four defenders and six midfield players […]

Oh well, that’s it. Another year of Beer Cup football is over and the kids will be put back into reserve, or out on loan, for another year. There is no doubting the agenda that Sky have set for the discussion that follows. Should Arsene have gone with a stronger side to counter the full-strength […]

Did you ever wonder what it was like to support a side playing against George Graham’s Arsenal at their height? Well, after the visit of Chelsea I am sure you have a very good idea indeed. I haven’t seen the stats, but I suspect they would tell you that Arsenal shaded possession and territory. Not […]

There are evenings watching Arsenal where you think you have seen the game before. That’s not a criticism by the way. As someone else might have typed, if you are tired of watching the football Arsenal played for much of this game, then you are tired of life itself. Without a doubt the biggest plus, […]

How many of you like the humble pie. You’ll not be surprised to hear I love them. This was the footballing equivalent of a quorn pie, or a cheese and onion pasty. Devoid of meat and gravy there was something lacking. The fare did not satisfy the appetite that had been created for it. Just […]

…But with a different feeling since Flam’s been gone! Well that is almost what the Four Tops sang. You don’t hear much about the Four Tops these days, but you do about the top four. Those who thought before a ball had been kicked that we would struggle to remain in the Champions League berths […]

OK, that wasn’t quite what he said, but Dexy’s Midnight Runners didn’t make a song called, Koeman, “Sometimes you have to say the opponents are better, much better. In quality they are one of the best teams in Europe”. I’ll get my coat! It is yet another of those games where you end up asking […]

This was supposed to be a halloween nightmare with a difference. A real horror story had been promised by Robbie Keane, “If you look at the two squads, you look at us and think we’re definitely on a par with them”. Peter Crouch had promised the robot dance would get another airing. I’m waiting! Instead […]

Ok, hands up. Who expected to see a game like that tonight? Arsenal changed the entire starting eleven from the weekend and Liverpool only included two from the start who began in their win over Manchester United. Right up front I have to pay tribute to the visitors who contributed hugely to one of the […]
