Blimey, where do you start. I can’t remember the last time I watched a game where we scored an important late goal and my blood was still boiling. Welcome back the emotional roller-coaster that is Premier League football. I should of course start with the positives, having pleaded on Twitter with someone else to do […]

I’ve been fortunate down the years to enjoy some pretty special days with Arsenal, but I have to say yesterday was up there with the best. You don’t have to tell me how lucky I was to be among a small group entertained in an executive box. I know. I trust anybody looking in from […]
