I take it we all saw that game, and we can be sure in view of the immediate reaction that minds have been made up. Nothing can be said that will persuade you from your view. I won’t try to change your opinion. It may not be as far from mine as some of you […]

Where on earth do you start commenting on that. If you want a match report then go here. The North London derby isn’t about a report for this blogger. It is about feelings, and that game, as I hint in the title, gave something to everybody, whatever your leaning. I made a note in the […]

They say it isn’t over until the fat lady sings. You can’t move tonight for plump lasses gargling with Listerine and clearing their throats. It’s that close. They’re ready. I have to say that blogging that one is going to be extremely difficult. A seriously close contest, and we knew it would be, provided the […]

What a strange day. Almost surreal from start to finish. Regular readers know I had a solemn morning lined up, and as Arsenal kicked off at Blackpool I was enjoying a lunch in the company of people who had been important to the ‘holicdad for all of his adult life. The wonders of the V+ […]

The headline is just a tad misleading. Actually, Arsenal apart, yesterday was a really enjoyable day spent in the company of a wonderful bunch of friends, old and new. The inevitable question followed the main event, however. “How on earth are you going to put a positive spin on that then, ‘holic?” The question is […]

My first trip to the Hawthorns was towards the end of the 1970-71 season. We were scrapping with Leeds for the League title, and nerves got the better of us that day. An own-goal from Asa Hartford enabled us to come away with a point from a 2-2 draw. History sort of repeated itself forty […]

Doubtless the word of the day on Sunday will be ‘Groundhog’, and to be fair those who use it will have a point. I think most, when they have time to sit back and peruse the events of the last fortnight, will be recalling what happened in 2008 and 2010 as reference points. It’s happening […]

So the drinkers have noticed an absentee from the discussion that has followed the game in Barcelona. Fear ye not. Our very own Bergkamp the Man has penned a wonderful account of his trip, sent me a snap or two, and so here I give you a unique flavour of a night by one who […]

Where on earth does one start. If you don’t understand why football grabs so many after that, then you are dead inside. Let’s start, as we should, with the positives, and the acknowledgement that Graham Souness is probably right. This Barcelona team is probably the best of all time. It is difficult taking a step […]

This is not a good blog to have to write, and not for the first time this week the best available side we have has frankly not played well enough in a big, big match. Of course it is not as simple as that. The best side we can put out at the moment does […]
