#ARSBRI match preview by Shard aka @ShardGooner A season that started with much promise is ending with more promise. Just empty ones. Some want transfers, some want board seats, some point to conveniently arbitrary points groupings. It’s almost as if the football is the side show. Which, frankly, is the…
Match Preview
#CHEARS match preview, Tuchel v Arteta, Chelsea take on Arsenal this evening (UK time) at Stamford Bridge with the FA Cup final looming on Saturday and fresh from hard fought last minute victory this past Sunday over fellow Champions League finalists Manchester City. How seriously will they take Arsenal given…
#ARSWBA match preview. I am on record for saying that failing to beat Villareal last Thursday, in the Europa League semi-final, was a disaster for Arsenal Football Club. It appears to me that most fans are still in a state of Shock or Anger (Kubler Ross; “7 Stages of Grief”)….

#ARSLIV match preview by Shard aka @ShardGooner Liverpool may no longer be as good as the last couple of season when they were the benchmark for every team to judge itself against, but they are still a very good team. They’ll still be hoping to make the top 4 as…
#WHUARS match preview by Shard aka @ShardGooner Mikel Arteta was brought in to English football nearly 2 decades ago by a young manager named David Moyes. He went on to become the 3rd longest serving manager at a PL club, behind the big 2 of Ferguson and Wenger. A great…
