Afternoon all.

I'm considering getting into blogging about football and I know there's already quite a lot out there. Just wondered if any of you had:

A - Blogging advice (I'm completely new to this)
B - Examples of your favourite/popular football blogs
C - anything else you think might be helpful

I know that this will seem like an aimless activity (and it probably is) but I quite fancy giving it a go

As an Arsenal fan the only one I really read regularly is Arseblog. I'd recommend checking out Tim Stillman's column (he does one every week on there) as he's one of the best football bloggers out there in my opinion.

Just got back from seeing Whiplash.

Absolutely incredible. Everything about it - from the acting to the pacing to the score - was immaculate. Hard to say after a first viewing but I think it'll go down as one of my all-time favourites.

JK Simmons is getting tons of praise (and rightly so) but Miles Teller was brilliant as well.

My local one is shite, always just advertising for teachers and builders.

I feel like there are so many jobs out there I just don't know where to find them!

Where the fuck do you look for jobs aside from the main job sites?

What was Foxcatcher like? Im thinking of seeing it but not sure

The acting from the three leads is exceptional and really holds the film up. It's really, really slow-paced but it just about kept my attention for the most part, although if you're not a fan of slower movies I'd avoid it. It does a good job of making you really unsettled and uncomfortable though which is probably the point.

One of those that was very good but I'm in no rush to see it again.

Okay, so I saw Inherent Vice today and have no clue what really happened. I enjoyed it though, I think...

Whiplash is my favourite film of the last 12 months. It's measured in ever aspect, stripped down and just relies upon simply breathtaking acting performances and music. You need to see it.

I meant to go see it last week but the fucking cinema near me stopped showing it! I thought it had only just come out.

I'm desperate to watch it though so am travelling a bit further afield to go watch it next week instead. Off to see Inherent Vice tomorrow as well. Been a crazy good few weeks for movies - seen Birdman, Foxcatcher and American Sniper already this month.

"Accidental." Good one, Jose.

Any idea which pundit he's talking about? Redknapp?

I think so. The one time I actually warmed to Redknapp was when he called Mourinho out on his shit at the end of last season.

A soft one but yeah I think so. Monreal's looking for it but Kompany leaves his knee out and catches him.

I was more surprised that he didn't get a second yellow for the foul on Sanchez than I was upset about the penalty.

Yeah that was criminal from Dean. About as clear a yellow as you can get.

Do City fans agree with a lot of others that Kompany is a bit overrated?

Guy was insane in 2011/12 but I've always felt like he's lived off of that season for some time now despite making mistakes a lot of the time. He seems to get away with a lot whereas Demichelis on the other hand gets dog's abuse in comparison.

Incredible result yesterday, arguably our most meaningful performance in years. We've been so shit vs. big teams in recent seasons so it was a real surprise to me.

Is this the first time this season Arsenal have won without Sanchez scoring or assisting?

He didn't score or assist in any of these games;

3-0 vs. City
2-1 vs. Anderlecht
1-0 vs. West Brom
2-1 vs. West Ham

It was nice to see us play so well without him, actually. He did a lot of good defensive work yesterday but Cazorla, Coquelin and the entire defence stole the show really.

If anyone is giving stuff away for cheap I'll have it as I've just started playing again.

Xbox or PS4?

We're a joke at the moment. Wenger needs to go.

Funny really that City, United, ourselves, Spurs, Everton and Liverpool are all pretty shit right now. Southampton might just make the Champions League at this rate.

In Walcott's case Hodgson pretty much said that he probably won't play (or if he does, it won't be much). If I'm not mistaken after this break the national side won't meet up again for a few months so it makes sense to get him back in amongst the squad given it's the last chance he'll get for a while. He's also one of the best attacking players we have - he's not some shit player on getting in because he plays for a big club.

Started with Arsenal - got fucked by City 2-0 in the Charity Shield before they beat me by the same scoreline in my own backyard on the first day of the league season. Depressing start.
