This is it: the big one for the little one’s. Or “le grand un pour les petits” as they don’t say in foreign parts. Who can ever forget one year ago? There was the memory of the fact that our little guys (with one or two biggies) had a year before smashed Liverpool at their…
So having spent a day arguing about when people were signed and the value of our youth system, the Lord Wenger now tells us it is all going to be pulled to bits by the new FIFA plans to limit transfers of players under 18. Our Great Leader pointed out that we have the “90-minutes”…
As Adam Smith pointed out yesterday, you couldn’t watch last night’s game on any sort of TV system anywhere south of Pluto. In fact if you tried BBC radio you would have found that in the summary half hour from 10 to 10.30 (when a couple of extra times were going on) the match actually…
ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES: Arsenal results before the game starts. So, where were we? Everyone’s been off being kicked for their country during Cripplegate Week, and everyone is injured, so we are putting out the under 11s for this fixture. Arshavin’s out, Cesc is probably out, my cat’s out (but that’s a cat-flap issue) and Theo…
The organisation running the top league in English football has a long history of corruption – dating back at least to 1919 when Manchester United and Liverpool, who had been found guilty of match fixing in the final pre-war season were allowed to go unpunished and continue unhindered. Arsenal benefitted from the final outcome of…
So, yesterday the Corruption Files took a sneak look at the governing bodies. Now we move on to someone they employ. When Fabio Capello turned up in England he was known as a man with a bit of a murky financial history. Not quite on Icelandic levels, but still, a little bit racey, if you…
I meant to write about this yesterday – I am hoping everyone saw, and approved of, the magnificent Red Action flag celebrating the multinational approach of Arsenal, and its constant stand against the “where were you born?” approach to football. I knew it was going to be big – but not that big. It is…
If you are a regular reader you are going to get so bored with me on this, but let me have my day. This is, after all, my finest hour. At 10am Saturday I predicted Everton 1 Arsenal 7 Click on the score to see the whole article. No one else came anywhere near that….
Last year was, according to the muddleheaded, the year of going backwards. We entered league match number 3 with and win and a defeat, plus a comfortable saunter into the Bent Cup (as I’m now forced to rename the Champs League). Match three was Arsenal 3 Newcastle Zebras 0. Line up was Almunia Sagna, Toure,…
All tomorrow’s parties: the service that tells you the result before the game has kicked off. You will be excused if you don’t know that Celtic are playing Arsenal tonight, as the BBC has ordered a virtual blackout of news on the game. This follows the appalling embarrassment the Corporation faced after their “expert” Mark…
