The thing that makes football grab you, and not let you go, is the fact that that you can experience the full range of emotions. Not just over the course of the season, and not just over a given month or series of games. As today has shown you can experience everything from complete rage […]

First things first. Thank you Porto for coming to the Grove determined to attack at every opportunity. I can think of a few occasions when your positive approach would probably have earned more reward. Tonight however was not one of them, and with that, if you will forgive me, I have to start gushing about […]

It had to happen, didn’t it? In the wake of small-minded criticism from penalty-king Chris Waddle we saw a man-of-the-match performance from Theo Walcott as Arsenal joined Chelsea on 61 points. This may not so far have been a season to remember for Theo, but if he can reproduce today’s form in the closing weeks […]

Well, that is the first objective achieved. I managed a title that didn’t include the word SCUM, for that is what those three bone-shattering thugs are. Sorry, correction coming in. They are all good honest English players who haven’t got a bad bone in their body. These soft foreigners don’t like it up ’em, do […]

“Alright mate, you confident today?” I get to the Pins earlier than expected, and so does a bad influence! The first Guinness evaporates and I already know what sort of a day it will be. As the first half of the United game plays out on the televisions we are joined by another top Gooner. […]

The words of Cesc Fabregas summed up the evening as Arsenal snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against a side who should have been comfortably cleaned up, bagged, and disposed of. In between two ludicrously gifted goals the Gunners controlled the contest with some ease, but in the end looked a disjointed and damaged […]

What sozzled old soak said “It’s a funny old game”? Correct. Me at around 9.40 after Arsenal had completed the only win for the top four tonight. Let’s face it, the two results that preceded the triumph over Liverpool were not good, and you can’t really say that those who over-reacted did so without reason. […]

Seven minutes. A corner. Terry is given virtually a free header. Gael Clichy is seeing dead people and deserts the far post to hold hands with Samir Nasri at the near post. Alex Song momentarily wonders if he remembered to lock his front door before leaving home, and leaves Drogba unmarked at the far post […]

Sunday 5.30 am, wake up with Montezuma’s revenge. This is not a good start to the biggest day of the season thus far. I manage a couple of hours of dozing before I am ‘evacuating’ again. The omens aren’t good. Arse finally settled I am in a taxi at ten heading for the station where […]

So the ‘big four’ becomes the ‘threatening three’ after what was, let’s face it, a bit of a damp squib at Villa Park. The point means we have now won seven and drawn three in the Premiership since that last defeat to Chelsea. Expectations were higher, I am guessing. In the end neither side could […]
