Seated as I was, on the morning after the Palace match, in the Toppled Bollard, famed watering hole of the elite of English newspapers’ football reporters I perceived from without the hoof-beats of a galloping hoard of wildbeests as in came four football reporters working in the medium of radio, each […]

After the EL match on Thursday a much changed side at the start as could be expected wiht only 4 players who started in Italy starting again.

Arenal team at the start : Leno, Jenkinson, Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Kolasinac, Elneny, Guendouzi, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang. On the beach: Cech, Mkhitaryan, Torreira, Iwobi, Monreal, […]

Is football really falling apart, or is it just the media finding something else to write about? Take a look at these headlines from the Telegraph which suggest there is a certain change of approach going on… (They were all on the Telegraph’s site on one day).

A few changes compared to our last match at Watford. Maitland-NIles and Sokratis come in at the back and Mustafi drops to the bench. Sokratis who is suspended in the PL so a no brainer for the swap with Mustafi who has to play in the PL next Sunday. 5 at the […]

Of course in […]

We have done it for the last three years and it gained some interest. Plus it made a point: 97% of all transfer rumours are gook. Not gobbledegook but just plain gook. So can the media johnnies raise their inventive game and get it up to 98% of their tips utterly […]

Arsenal starting eleven : Cech, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Torreira, Ramsey, Kolasinac, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang

On the beach: Leno, Mustafi, Elneny, Guendouzi, Suarez, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan

Arsenal attacking from the start and pushing the visitors back but only winning a few corners where the ref sees a foul as the Napoli defenders […]

Of course as a regular football supporter who is not a criminologist I can’t give you a definitive answer to that question in the headline. But I can raise a point that I think is sometimes missed in the debate.

At the moment racism in football in England is big news. “Resurgent […]

The injured players didn’t return so no Koscielny and Xhaka in the team. Ramsey got a place on the bench after comming off against Newcastle. Elneny gets a rare start and Guendouzi also comes in the team. Up front Mkhitaryan also starting the match. Aubameyang starts on the bench so we have […]

Arsenal are the most fouled team in the Premier League – by quite a way. At least that is “most fouled” when the count is taken of fouls awarded by the referees.

The table that shows this is provided by Footstats.co.uk. I’ll comment a little on the sources of the data […]
