I will count myself among those who thought that West Ham would put up one hell of a fight before we eventually overcame them. I was wrong, although to be fair a side already shorn of Scott Parker could have done without losing Mark Noble after just twenty minutes. Boa Morte may be a niggly […]

Just back in time for the 3pm kick-offs. I made a promise to put the ‘holic pound up here to be shot at. I’ve taken the elevens on offer at Bet 365 for a 3-1 away win. Back later.

One nil to the Worzels. I’m starting to take this personally! Sorry, but tonight of all nights I have to make a little light of this game. At the end of the day we are one down at half-time and should still come out on top, but we are most certainly doing it the hard […]

The 3-0 win at Eastlands back in October was hailed by some, me included, as proof that Arsenal had overcome their inability to beat their closest rivals. Not all agreed, but the fact that we go into the first home game of 2011 against the same opponents who are joint top, two points ahead of […]

Days don’t come much harder, in some ways, or much more rewarding in others. Three points at Birmingham, given what has happened there on our most recent visits, have provided a much-needed lift. The expected fierce contest transpired. Not surprisingly there were challenges by Johnson and Bowyer that caused much debate, but it would be […]
