As capitalism comes to an end, and the spivs lurk on corners preparing to mug old ladies as they walk home to unheated houses, their life savings destroyed by men who even how are demanding billion pound bonuses for attempting to get us out of the mess they got us into, so there is more…
International weeks, blah blah. Boring, except two big things are happening. First something stirs in the Reserves, because at last our defensive midfielder – the one everyone was screaming for through the summer – is playing. Oh yes (as John Major used to say). Amaury Bischoff is playing in the Reserves against Stoke tonight. That…
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 –…
The pages that previously appeared here (including the Stupidity Files, which recorded the activities of clubs and footballers world-wide) have been removed for a while pending a full re-launch of this site.
I write this in reply to a detailed letter that has been published on this site, which says why we should no longer support Arsenal. I believe the opposite. Partly, because I am a naturally cheery guy (except when I am not) and partly because I am currently writing the history of Arsenal in 1910,…

I’ve been in Cardiff for a couple of days, having managed to tie together a couple of meetings with today’s game. I’ve driven past the hotel where the lads are staying, and if I were writing in the pop press or for ITV or BBC I’d be “sampling the atmosphere”, but in truth there hasn’t…
Tomorrow or the next day it will be known. 25 hours ago (that is around 7am UK time on Monday) I made my wholesome and exciting prediction that a certain Russian was on his way to us. At that moment virtually no one else was running the story, so I felt rather good (or rather…
The time wasting at the end of the game at Cardiff, with the home side holding on for a draw, rather than going for a place in the next round, sums it all up really. If Cardiff do get into the EPL they will fit there perfectly alongside clubs like Bolton, Blackburn, Fulham, WBA, and…
We don’t need more England players in the Premiership – we need fewer. The debate over the paucity of England’s performances has thrown up very few innovative ideas. Mostly we get demands for a return to the days of no foreigners in the Premiership and a more basic approach to training the kids, rather than…
