Wouldn’t you know it? Last night I settled down, this page open, and ready to chart the performances of Yannick Carrasco and Ryan Fraser in the Belgium versus Scotland Euro 20 qualifier in Brussels. The team sheets went up, and both were on their respective benches. Just my luck! Fraser did get on for the […]

A week of football watching on the television was brought to an abrupt and welcome halt by an evening with Ray Parlour in the Legends Lounge at the County Ground here. I was in need of a lift after watching the ease with which Atletico Madrid defeated Marseille in the Europa League Final. The Romford […]

It’s that weekend again. The away leg of the brace of North London derby matches we enjoy (or endure) every season. At least this year we do not have to visit the dive that is White Hart Lane. Hopefully unluckily for them we are off to Wembley, a stadium where we have made nine successful […]

Apparently this is hump day. no longer Wednesday. I think I will stick with the latter. It has been a mixed one and included getting another opportunity at getting to watch the Arsenal women in action on the FA WSL Facebook page. You can, as I type, see the full match here. It was an […]

Today Arsenal were involved in a remarkable U-turn from recent policy and have been reported to have been negotiating new deals with the players who are just about still at the club. Dick Law has been reportedly whizzing round Shenley like Lovejoy at a jumble sale looking to secure the bargains of the week. First […]

The week from hell is drawing to a close. Chicken curry and noodles have been consumed, a couple of pints have been sunk, and England will shortly kick-off in Malta. Quite when I will finish this is anyones guess. A review of the window is probably in order. I doubt if other blogs have already […]

“You need to do a new post, you do.” Do I? What about? “About the Arsenal, of course!” But they’re not doing anything newsworthy at the moment. “What about all those new signings they are being linked with?” What new signings? Kolasinac, good player, great deal. Nobody else has signed. “But NewsNow is full of […]

The evening after the day before has arrived and the thundersnow has not made it anywhere remotely close to ‘holic Towers. The predictive text really wanted ‘colic to appear there which is particularly apt today given that so many babies on social media are suffering with it. If you will forgive the me, me, me […]

Too early for a preview, but I can’t take three nights off this side of a Christmas when I may well be conspicuous by my absence. I ask mates for their suggestions for a post. The creative juices were clearly flowing. Picture this strapping Welsh lad suggest in that oh so lovely brogue “Try a […]

It’s a modest sort of a Thursday. Quiet, unassuming, not much in the way of new Arsenal happenings to stir things up. Sure, there are the tailwinds from Tuesday’s draw in Paris. I still don’t know why Granit Xhaka and Olivier Giroud didn’t start. Depending on who you listen to we either won the lottery because Cavani […]
