‘Come and celebrate my birthday on Friday’. My mate is persuasive so it’s a day on the golf course for me and doubtless a night and most of Saturday morning in oblivion! That means I have to do my preview of the trip to Villa a day earlier than I would like, and without the […]

One of the great things about being a bit of a fossil is that no matter what misfortune becomes the side I have seen much worse down the years. Certainly a defeat against the other strong team in Group H, particularly given the make-up of the team, is not something I’ll be losing sleep over. […]

The squad to face Sevilla has been announced, and as expected there is a degree of rotation taking place as Arsenal, already through to the knock-out phase, prepare for a hectic December.

I don’t know who William Gallas gets to style his hair these days, but quite clearly the mohican look is solely responsible for his transformation in recent weeks.

The Sunday newspapers have taken on an altogether a different hue, however, since those jolly fine and upstanding Israelis defeated those desperately unlucky Russians. The stories declaring Arsenal as the most destructive force in international football led by the anti-Christ that is Arsene Wenger have […]

Friday Team News

Just like any other Friday we need to concentrate on the latest team news. Much has been written and you need to have precious little else to do to keep up with it all. In goal, fresh on the heels of Manuel Almunia revealing he spent his honeymoon signing for Arsenal, we have Jens Lehmann […]

The Second Coming Of Hleb

If there has been a change in perception about a couple of Arsenal players this season then surely the subject of one of the transformations has been Alexander Hleb. Perhaps change and transformation are not the correct words to use? I remember taking my father to see the Gunners play Charlton in the last season […]
