Video courtesy of Arsenal FC And so the signing of Petr Cech came to pass yesterday (Monday). First of all, welcome to Arsenal, Petr. You have given many fine displays at the Grove and we look forward to lots more now! Looking around at the opinions of my peers on blogs and on social media this […]

Once again my thanks to one of ours, North Bank Ned, for a guest piece on something of an overlooked anniversary.

I am again indebted to the prolific Snowy, who submitted not one, but two guest posts in the wake of the FA Cup win, knowing the productivity of yours truly plummets when the season ends! Two weeks to the day since that wonderful evening at Wembley seems the right ‘anniversary’ moment to run with that […]
