The American rocker may be the headline act at Ashburton this week, but it would be remiss of me not to comment on the Danny Fiszman interview on Arsenal TV. Fiszman has not previously given the impression of being comfortable in the limelight, which is unfortunate. I have to say, possibly as a result of […]

We live in strange times. An over-fifty, north London born and bred, blogger has to get back home on a Saturday night for the weekends required viewing, the French FA Cup Final. Father of ‘holic was quite incredulous when I shared the game with him on the phone this morning. A good friend was rooting […]

The deafening silence from Alex Hleb tells you everything you need to know about his agent’s assertion that he is definitely leaving Arsenal. That news has sparked a predictable response from Arsenal fan sites. There is something about the cowardly way that Hleb and his agent have engineered this move that sticks in the throat. […]

If the Daily Telegraph has a handle on events surrounding the proposed transfer of Samir Nasri to Arsenal then do not be surprised to see this one fizzle out. Oliver Brown’s report hints at games being played by Nasri’s agent, Jean-Pierre Bernes. Arsenal will be furious that the negotiations became public before they were finalised. […]

It really is just a flying visit this morning to place on record my thanks to Raymond ‘Clouseau’ Domenech, or should I say Raymond ‘Clueless’ Domenech, for leaving out the best left-back in the Premier League from his France squad for the European Championship. Grateful though we may be that Gael Clichy will be fresh […]

A quick word or two on a Sunday when the season has come to an end both here, and now in France, prompting much speculation. Well there is a surprise. Samir Nasri appears to be the favourite rumour of the morning after confessing that his goal for Marseilles could have been in “perhaps my last […]

Hello again all. Let’s start with some real news about something that really happened. I didn’t see any of the England U-21 performance in Wales so I am grateful to the Telegraph, among others, for their match report which raves about Theo Walcott’s goalscoring contribution. The improvement in Theo over the second half of the […]

“Hleb has been playing in London for three years now and isn’t sure whether in the future he can show the level of talent that he is showing currently.” So says Nikolai Shpilevski, agent of Alex Hleb. The implied threat that his client won’t be busting a gut to improve on his impressive goalscoring record […]

Thank you Match of the Day. The only sight I have had of the final encounter of this season at the Stadium of Light is courtesy of the dear old Beeb. I was forewarned by a very fair match report on Arsenal.com from which it was clear that Sunderland had contributed their fair share to […]

The beer of the week is Thwaites Champion Dark Mild from….oh, sorry. Wrong damn blog. I thought this was the Arsecast (more of which later). It is ages since I have drunk a mild though and I found this in the supermarket yesterday. Yum-yum, a rare treat. I’m rambling, I know. Apologies first of all […]
