A few weeks back I did a deal with the management that meant I would go to the Sunderland home game and not Burnley. How mad am I now? Hopping, is the word. Hopping. Who would have expected the visit of the clarets to provide the potential for the most atmospheric home game of the […]

The events of the weekend continue to rumble on, and overshadow the announcement on Friday of some particularly impressive half-year financial results for Arsenal Holdings plc.
