The third match of a mixed but uplifting week sees us welcome Huddersfield Town back to The Grove. The feelgood factor from last Sunday remains prominent in the recent memory, and taking a point home from Old Trafford extended the unbeaten run to 20 matches. Sadly it was confirmed today that Rob Holding ruptured the anterior […]

I have quite the act to follow this evening. GSD’s outstanding record of derby day was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I don’t mind admitting I would far sooner carry on with recollections of a memorable Sunday which lifted the spirits again after a dark couple of days. Many thanks to all for the socialising and […]

Hello all, replete after three pints of Guinness and a fish supper it is time to allow the thoughts to focus on yet another North London versus Middlesex derby. This is a strange one these days, anticipated and loathed if not in equal measure. The long-standing neighbour avoids it like the plague. With my upbringing […]

It would appear that we have reached something of a fork in the road. Thirteen games undefeated, twelve of them won, and all the time we have been told we are beating teams we should be beating. Wait until Liverpool has been the warning from a section of the support. They have a point, of […]

There was a time when The Arsenal at home to Blackpool played out before a Highbury bursting at the seams. Those days are long since gone and the mid-table League One club will arrive to a less than full Ashburton Grove for the Carabao Cup fourth round tie. Working out who will feature for the […]

Three pints of Abbot and a large cod and chips have raised the sprits, and delayed the preview! Apologies. After an extra hour of sleep Crystal Palace away kicks off on a Sunday-ruining lunchtime (or breakfast time if you are on the east coast of the USA and indeed worse than that in so many […]
