It was a very subdued Billy the Dog McGraw at the Toppled Bollard public house today as we gathered just beyond our old spiritual home, deliberately drinking in the street, just to annoy the police. The news had come through about Rob VP, another martyr to the insane stupidity of the international friendly. I debated…
By Simon Bailey. What a lot of fuss. ‘Henri the thief”, as the Irish commentator for RTE called him for the last 20 minutes of the game, has unwittingly catapulted himself into the biggest footballing controversy since …erm, …uh, oh yeah, last Saturday when Shay Given tripped Evra and, shock horror, no penalty was given….
By Phil Gregory Arsenal travel to Upton Park looking to heap more pressure on a beleaguered Gianfranco Zola. The West Ham boss has not seen his team win since August, and sitting three points adrift of safety, Hammers fans will be hoping for, but not expecting an upset. Recent form: West Ham are growing desperate…
Just in case I have lost you a little with that headline let me explain… Yesterday in a world exclusive Walter and I interviewed the manager of Standard Liege and discussed with him the way in which he thought the game would go. He predicted that the key to the game would be the issue…

When the junk press run almost identical stories twice you know there is something odd going on. We saw it last season when the story went around that Arshavin was so unhappy with his Arsenal contract that he was going to re-neogiate straight away – and that this would bankrupt the club. It was pathetic…
Ah the joys of football. A year ago, after seeing off the club curiously known as Steve Umbrella and having won 2 and lost 1 in the EPL we were written off. A top four finish was not possible. The end was nigh. Mid-table beckoned. Aston “Hold Your Head” would overtake us. And you know…
Just imagine – Arsenal without injuries. It’s impossible I know because these days we live with injuries. The news that Theo lasted 45 minutes in an under 21 match before being taken off will hardly come as a surprise. He’ll probably have his name changed to Theo Out-Injured soon. But still, with no football going…
