The scheduling of the 2022 FIFA World Cup was always going to be a source of debate. At no stage in the past did the topflight in England have to pause for this major tournament. For most Premier League teams and their supporters, the event’s timing is a source of frustration. There are some benefits, […]
It is fair to say that all Arsenal fans will be enjoying the current football season. Mikel Arteta’s side have been in fine form overall and this has left them sitting atop the Premier League table. The 2022/23 football season also has a World Cup to enjoy, and this is now in full swing over […]
My mind still wanders back to that glorious day in May 1997, when I held Jo Guest in my arms, (anyone under 30 may need to google her) and when I truly believed I had the most knowledgeable brain in football. Of course, 25 years later, I now know that, although a reasonable amount football know […]
Well, the Three Lions certainly know how to bring a football fan back down to earth with a bang don’t they? After the free-flowing attacking verve show in the demolition of Iran in the group open many of us were ready to visit casinozonder.com to place our hard earned pennies on England.

A picture speaks a thousand words, right? If FIFA truly wanted to be a ‘force for good in the world’, then they could have had the balls to at least insist that Captains be allowed to wear the “1 Love” anti-discrimination armbands, as originally planned. Instead, national federations were informed that players who wore the […]
At home. To Manchester United.It doesn’t get much worse than this, in terms of ending an amazing 14-games win streak. Maybe Manchester United didn’t deserve to snatch the whole three points but they didn’t deserve to lose, for sure. From our side, we looked disjointed and insecure: we couldn’t keep hold of the ball, distances […]
Alas, we have arrived at an annoying pause from our beloved Arsenal as the World Cup is upon us, and for the second time in the last four renditions of this grand tournament, it will be a painful and conflicted group stage watch for yours truly. As should be abundantly clear, I’m an American who […]
Qatar? Why?? Let me introduce myself. My name is Peter Le Beau, I have been an Arsenal supporter since 1958 and a season ticket holder for over thirty years. Five generations of my family have supported Arsenal stretching back to my paternal grandfather who watched them play in Woolwich. I’ve written for the Gooner […]
