I never usually blog during my working hours, but have a few minutes now and thought I’d let you know what’s preying on my mind.

Match Report: Bolton 2 - 3 Arsenal, A Display Of Heart And Desire…

Adversity.
It’s a word that describes when it doesn’t go your way, when things come up and cause difficulties, it’s when all things conspire against you. When Drogba, Anelka and Kalou were offside and a 1-0 win turns into a 2-1 loss. Adversity.
Today’s game was all about adversity. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. [...]

The Premiership Is Back & International Round Up

Hello everybody, it’s back, and it’s back with a bang. The Premiership that is. After all those weirdly timed, scary Internationals, it’s time to get back to business and take a look forward to this weekend’s game.
I went down to the Emirates on Wednesday for the Brazil vs Sweden game so didn’t have much time [...]

Brazil 1 - 0 Sweden: A Pato Inspired Victory

A fun packed night at the Emirates saw Brazil beat Sweden by a goal to nil.

The starting line up saw Luis Fabiano up front supported by Juilo Baptista. Werder Bremen [...]

Yesterday, we were heavily linked with Lyon’s Hatem Ben Arfa. [...]
