The main story thus far in the World Cup isn’t all the wackiness going on with the French and England squads or the vuvuzela’s. Not by a long shot. The main story of this tournament is and will continue to be the refereeing. Every match seems to have at least one major gaffe, an entire [...]

American President John F. Kennedy once famously said: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” If you’re the French national team, your response to that clarion call is: “We can do very little”. France took one on the chin on Match Day 7 as Mexico [...]

Apologies for the delay in getting this posted. Andy & I had a bit of a publishing mix-up. Got it sorted & updates will be more timely going forward. ***** The history! The pageantry! The anticipation! The crazy, vuvuzela-playing fans! Sepp Blatter telling everyone we’re in South Africa! Yes, the World Cup is upon us. [...]

A quick International Break round-up before I head off to a birthday breakfast with my family. Robin van Persie was stretchered off after 11 minutes of Holland’s game against Italy with an ankle injury. Dutch TV reported he will be out for 2-3 months after tearing ankle ligaments. It’s awful news for both van Persie [...]

Note: Regular readers will know I usually post match reports on a Monday. However with Chelsea and Manchester United playing tonight I thought I would include a match report of that game from an Arsenal perspective in tomorrow’s post. Stay tuned. Arsenal 4 (Zubar og 28, Craddock og 35, Fabregas 45, Arshavin 65) Wolves 1 [...]

Today is the second in a series of posts reviewing Arsenal’s 2008/09 season. Yesterday I reviewed the performances of our goalkeepers over the course of the season and up for scrutiny today is the Arsenal defence. Unlike yesterday’s post which looked individually at the performances of Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski, this article is more [...]

I thought I’d throw out a cheeky Saturday blog today, just because I can. More correctly it’s because I’ve had a couple of beers and have a bit of time on my hands. Hooray! First things first I just want to say “thank you” to everybody who left comments on yesterday’s post. To have over [...]

Hello again and a happy Tuesday to you all. The Easter breather is over now and it’s time to look ahead to an exciting and intriguing week of football. Indeed, with the return leg against Villarreal on Thursday and a trip to Wembley to play Chelsea on Sunday, it wouldn’t be going too far to [...]

Hello again. For those that care, the movie I told you I was seeing last night - Mutum - turned out to be pretty damn good. If you’re a lover of international film then I highly recommend it. I’m sure Brazilian readers of the blog (if I have any!) will know what I mean. Anyway, enough said about that – [...]

A bit of Jack Wilshere, some Samir Nasri and the Wednesday Poll is what’s in store today before I rush off to the movies with the girl for a bit of mid-week relaxation. First up, young Wilshere. I hastily mentioned in yesterday’s post that the 16-year-old Englishman has been rewarded with a spot in the first [...]

It’s Friday afternoon and I’ve just finished work. “Why aren’t you out drinking and celebrating then, Spanish?”, you ask. “I will be shortly,” I respond, struggling to contain a sly grin, “but first I have to post on the blog.” And that’s why I’m here right now. To do what I do every day; bring you, [...]

Another day, another miniscule bit of progression in transfer sagas involving Alex Hleb and Emmanuel Adebayor. As such, I’ll keep things short today. It seems that Hleb is on the verge of signing for Barcelona. The Belorussian is apparently on his way to Spain to complete a medical and if all goes to plan will join the Catalan club. [...]
