Even for someone as outdated, as old school, as technologically challenged as I am, I have to say having spent years doubting the wisdom or usefulness of social media sites, I am now a complete and utter convert to Twitter.

Boing boing, I’m getting flashbacks. The Zebidees’ are back in town, which until last season would have meant a comfortable afternoon and three guaranteed points. Of course that all changed when a spirited Baggies display combined with one of ‘those‘ Almuniacides did for us at the Grove last September. I wrote then, It was refreshing […]

I suspect Arsene won’t be grabbing a lot of sleep tonight. He’ll be going over in his mind all of the possibilities that still exist after a goalless draw on matchday four of the Champions League. On the plus side a win in the next match at home to Dortmund puts us through for sure, […]
