There appears to be a gradual leak of genuine news for us to feast on in these barren days, starting with Emmanuel Adebayor‘s disagreement with his National Association. It would seem that unless he presents himself for duty for Togo’s match with Sierra Leone on Sunday he will be dropped from the team that he […]

The Grove – Hit Or Miss?
Posted in comment on May 29th, 2007 7 Drinks »
When Ken Friar talks of being ‘pleasantly surprised’ by the new stadium in its first year of operation you listen. One side of the brain tells you he was one of the directors responsible for the creation, the other reminds you that this is an Arsenal man through and through. Now is as good a […]
Play-Off Fever

Just a quick word to confirm, yes, I have spent the bank holiday weekend in the pub watching the play-offs. Just as well really, as nothing much is happening on the Arsenal front. Therefore I offer my congratulations to Bristol Rovers, Blackpool, and particularly Derby County, who should provide six points to the mighty Arse […]
Learning A Lesson?

If there is one story today that all those in favour of a leveraged buy-out of Arsenal should read it is the Daily Mirror’s exclusive’ that the Glazer’s are looking to offload Manchester United. The haste with which denials have been issued is designed to pour scorn on the story, but considered opinion is that […]

We may as well start where we left off a couple of days ago. Arsenal.com has confirmed the reports that Emmanuel Adebayor has extended his contract with the Gunners. No time frame is mentioned, but the phrase ‘long-term’ confirms that Arsene Wenger wanted to get his signature secured for a few years to come. Not […]
Wake Me Up When Something Happens

Well that was a dull weekend. Dull, is that the word? Yes, dull it was. The Cup Final was dull. The Sunday papers, often the saviour of the journalistic week, were dull. My roast chicken was, well frankly, dull! Regurgitated Gallas quotes, Henry to Barcelona, Freddie’s off, but wait. One story worth reading was news […]
It’s official, I have got the glums! I woke up this morning to the Daily Mirror regurgitating an old Patrick Vieira quote to build a complete load of old tosh about Arsene Wenger leaving because of the treatment of Dein. They didn’t stop there. Apparently Thierry Henry is also leaving despite the fact that he […]
'Holic Player Of The Season
Posted in tongue in cheek on May 16th, 2007 4 Drinks »
It is that time of year, and with the greatest of pleasure I announce the winner of the first ‘Holic Player of the Season award…(struggles to open envelope)… Surely there can be no doubt that the goalkeeper of the magnificent, all-conquering, quadruple-winning Arsenal Ladies team is a worthy recipient of such an accolade? ‘Holics everywhere, […]
It’s a slow start to the close season, but still some movement from the club on new contracts for at least one, and possibly two young players. No doubting the source for the news that Emmanuel Eboue has signed a new ‘long-term’ contract. Arsenal.com provide the news that will delight some, but not all, Gooners. […]
The Nature Of The Beast

So a season of frustration has ended with one last gasp twist. Nothing too dramatic you understand, but a penalty gave Liverpool third place, or to be more accurate, two penalties gave Liverpool third place. The Gunners arrived on the south coast with their third choice goalkeeper, six defenders, three midfielders and Julio Baptista, who […]
