As the remaining hours of this transfer window come to a frantic close it is time for the follow-up piece from Bergkamp the Man. More Orwellian than I have heard him before, and a more interesting read because of that. If his Part 1 on Monday evening is anything to go by, I know we [...]

We need a distraction, in this of all weeks. I am indebted to Lonestar Gooner, one of the ‘holics from the Left Bank of the pond, for an indication of the reach of the mighty Arsenal family.
