A week in which we have not had a game has still seen us hogging the back pages. A sad loss, a new beginning, it’s all happened. Now it is time to focus on producing a fitting response on the pitch as we face two enormous matches in four days. A week before Easter, the […]
We Should Be Called Classenal

The Arsenal have a way of doing things. They are thoughtful and appreciative. There is a touch of class about the memorials that have accrued around the club down the years. The most obvious example is the bust of Herbert Chapman that most famously still adorns the entrance hall in Highbury’s East Stand. More recently […]
“So What Do You Think Of It All Then, ‘Holic?”

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of the church handed down to us by our fathers and grandfathers. Yes, like most supporters I feel this is our Football Club, and that whoever is calling the shots at any time is just the guardian of our most cherished institution. I suspect Mr Kroenke […]

What a strange day. Almost surreal from start to finish. Regular readers know I had a solemn morning lined up, and as Arsenal kicked off at Blackpool I was enjoying a lunch in the company of people who had been important to the ‘holicdad for all of his adult life. The wonders of the V+ […]

“It is important we realise this team is absolutely amazing for what they do at their age. One day people will understand that, but at the moment, I am not sure many people do.” I don’t want the manager of my football club to come out eight matches from the end of the season and […]

I doubt there are too many reading who will have made our last trip to Bloomfield Road. The memory might be playing me up a bit, but I don’t think there was sufficient interest for British Rail to pull some of its old rolling stock out to act as a football special on a Tuesday […]
As Bowie Said, “My Weekend’s At An All Time Low”

The headline is just a tad misleading. Actually, Arsenal apart, yesterday was a really enjoyable day spent in the company of a wonderful bunch of friends, old and new. The inevitable question followed the main event, however. “How on earth are you going to put a positive spin on that then, ‘holic?” The question is […]
This Will Be A Good Day

A Friday night dinner party, and an early Saturday morning appointment with Great Western Trains, means that I have to preview the Blackburn game a day earlier than I would like. Forgive me anybody who has turned up hoping for a ‘holic April Fools gag. It isn’t happening. The poignant tributes to Rocky are fresh […]
