Royal Mail chiefs have joined the clamour for Arsenal to secure the future of Arsene Wenger as the proposed strike action by postal staff looms large. Hot on the heels of losing the prestigious Amazon contract the Postal bosses now fear the loss of further mail traffic after Thierry Henry’s sensational departure. Sid ‘Harry’ Potter, […]

Next…

Having spent last week dealing with Barcelona I would imagine this week will see more of the same for Arsene Wenger. Substitute the name Reyes for Henry, and another Spanish predator for Barca, and Le Boss has one more big money exit to transact before he knows exactly how much money he has to play […]

The Henry Dilemma

I really wanted to avoid any more comment on the Henry situation. It is becoming impossible though with Bobby and Cesc adding fuel to the fire in the last couple of days.
