The following article appeared on the RedAction news service, written by Robert Gaffney. It is reproduced with permission, but Robert asks me to add that it is speculation on his part. Even so, it is the best bit of speculation I have seen on this. I’ve been looking at the property piece of the finance…
It is rare to find a day when virtually everyone is having a bad time of it: but that is the day we have today. Starting with the Tinies – you might recall that this time last year they celebrated wildly by getting into the Children’s Cup Final, and then promptly managed to go 10…
I am out of touch – I admit it freely – travelling here and there. So I was really grateful to receive a link to the goal Jack Wilshere scored for us against Stoke reserves. Just take a look at the link at the end of this piece. But also consider the team… Francis…
Fifa – the organisation of which a US judge famously said that they “lied and lied again in court” claims that it has now worked out a way of restricting the number of foreign players in each team, while staying within the rules of the European Union. It wants to talk to the European Commission…
If you have been supporting the Arsenal for more than 12 years you’ll remember the dark days. I mean the really dark days. Days so dark that you couldn’t even see the tunnel let alone the light at the end of it. I speak, of course, of the year of the Rioch. That dreadful year…

So now we know what the official FA line is on the abuse by Tottenham supporters of Sol Campbel. After the police refused to act, and the FA said that the situation should go back to Portsmouth for them to make a complaint, and Portsmouth saying they can’t act unless Sol makes a complaint, David…
I’ll confess straight up that I don’t have a hot line to Leningrad, nor do I have the ear of Mr Usmanov. In fact I don’t even have his email address. But I think we are going to sign Arshavin, today or tomorrow. Here’s why… First, the whole saga has been full of deadlines –…
There was a moment right at the end of the game against Portsmouth in which Papa Bouba Diop committed what looked like a dreadful foul on (I think) Denilson. From my position in the upper tier quite some way along from the incident I didn’t have anything remotely like a perfect view, but it looked…
It started as a little joke – but got more comments than most posts on this site: a list earlier this week predicting that everyone would leave the club this summer. Exactly the sort of rubbish the charlatans who write newspaper football columns write. And would you believe it, the News of the World jumped…
