So what else can go wrong now? I plucked up the courage to watch Arsenal TV for a while tonight. Arsene Wenger on the news discussing the loss of Mathieu Flamini is painful viewing. When he adds that Bacary Sagna won’t make the weekend I reach for the bottle. Lucky Arsenal? Don’t make me laugh. […]

I have to get one thing straight from the start. We might have some justifiable grumbles about the deal we got from the officials over two legs, but Liverpool played their part in a tremendous contest and good luck to them. I hope they ride the luck I’m sure they appreciate they got over two […]

My first European Cup quarter-final was thirty-six years ago when I was at Highbury to see an Ajax side knock us out courtesy of George Graham’s misdirected attempt to find Bob Wilson. The feeling of utter desolation never left me. Further exits at the hands of Valencia and Chelsea were just as hard to bear, […]
