I have often pondered the notion that the Lord Wenger has god-like powers but now I am forced to add to his abilities the fact that he can see into the future. As one with a degree in economics we might expect him to have some insight into the collapse of capitalism but when you…
Alisher Usmanov owns about 24% of Arsenal, which makes him close to being the biggest shareholder – Danny Fiszman has just about the same level of shareholding. Mr Usmanov is what the newspapermen (in that funny sort of shorthand way that they have) a “metals magnate” which presumably means he’s made of iron or something…
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…
Way back in January and February we wrote about the developing links with the Colorado club owned by Stan Kroenke. Mr Hill-Wood the Arsenal chairman threw a bit of a spanner in the works, but those working on the club’s future took him to one side, calmed him down, and the progress continued. Many of…
In the Fairly Anemic Cup Final, an Arsenal Old Boys team including Kanu, Diarra and Campbell under the guidance of Tony Adams meandered past Cardiff City. It was a bit of a shock to see the empty seats in the stands opposite the TV cameras, but that I suppose is indicative of the way this…
In deepest darkest Hertfordshire (Shenley to be exact) there is a biological laboratory. Surrounded by armed guards and men in track suits, it houses one of the most extraordinary genetic experiments ever seen on British soil. For it is here, no less, that the Genetic Research Experimental Facility is based. Funded by Arsenal FC the…
These are articles about the history of Arsenal which are never told anywhere else. ~Highbury – why did we go there, rather than to Fulham – or come to that anywhere else? The fixed promotion. We ended up sixth in division 2, so how come we went into division 1? The media vs AFC. The…
This blog is about supporting Arsenal, deifying the Lord Wenger, and saying what a load of silly people all the other football teams are. (Apart from Torquay United, who I also support for reasons that will not become clear at this time). But of course a quick glance at the EPL table will suggest that…
It is still unclear how Tottenham will be punished (if at all) for the racist and homophobic abuse against Sol Campbell last weekend. The police refused to act at the time, saying there were too many supporters involved in the action against Sol Campbell for them to be able to make arrests. They asked the…
I said my bit about that Rio Ferdinand, in a post earlier today. But I failed to mention the front cover of the current edition of Private Eye’s “Colemanballs” series. It is a quote from Rio Ferdinand, speaking on Radio 5 Live. “Gary Neville was captain, and now Ryan Giggs has taken on the mantelpiece.”…
