So according to the Star on Sunday, Joe Cole will fly back from the England camp to put pen to paper at Highbury House on Tuesday. Interesting one this. On the face of it one might consider the last thing we need is another short, injury-prone, wide midfield player. However, the story has been doing […]

So, here we are, courtesy of the mobile broadband dongle. Not the fastest bit of kit on the planet, but at least I should be able to complete this piece, unlike my last attempt. Apologies to anybody who, like Yuri who commented first, was singularly unimpressed. I probably would have been too, but I did […]

Virgin On The Absurd

Firstly, a bit of an apology. I was hoping to do something yesterday, but to cut a long story short I was having a weekend of issues with my broadband connection. These days that is akin to losing a limb. I had struck a deal with the management so she had the tv on Saturday […]

It won’t be a secret to a number of you that I have watched a fair bit of Bordeaux over the last couple of seasons. A good friend I meet at a lot of Arsenal games travels over from Paris, and follows Les Girondins as a second team. Hence, I watch them as often as […]

Ching. Ching, ching. Clink. The sound of pennies dropping is almost deafening. A good night’s rest has brought about a welcome drop in the collective blood pressure of Gooners and those who were not long ago writing of the Cesc transfer as a done deal.

I don’t understand the near hysterical reaction to stuff brought into the public domain by journalists, reputable or otherwise, around the globe. To stop this from turning into a lengthy essay on the […]

Life On Mars

“It will be a long hard summer,” I said to the fella in the pub at lunchtime. “I’m struggling for stuff to write about and the season has only been over a week.” “You a blogger then?” he enquired casually. “Which club?” When I told him he smiled. “You would love to have my job […]

"We Support Our Local Team"

Usually sung by supporters of small hoofball teams from the Midlands and the North. I’m itching for the first time someone sings back at them “Don’t you know that you could move?” Idiots. I have to say though it isn’t something that would make me shift uncomfortably anyway, having been born in God’s part of […]

If you have yet to check out the free videos of the Ivan Gazidis Q&A session with the Arsenal Supporters Trust (on Arsenal.com) can I advise you to set aside a couple of  hours. It should be worthwhile though if you are prepared to evaluate and interpret what is being said. The CEO is clearly […]

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

So that is that for another season. Despite the best efforts of Transport for London I arrived at Holloway Road just after twelve and took a cursory look in the club shop for the end of season sale bargains. Sadly, they were well-hidden. Unusually for an end-of-season game the pre-match refreshments were partaken in a […]
