There’s no doubt that they didn’t quite see this one coming. When the Tiny Totts played Portsmouth and their supporters engaged in racist chanting against Sol Campbell, they probably thought they could get away with it. The police wouldn’t act, the FA wouldn’t act, Portsmouth wouldn’t act, and of course we all know that Tottenham…
On the Arsenal web site this morning (20 October) there is a lead story about Fabregas’ contract in which Cesc comments on a piece in a Sunday paper, which says that he has refused to sign a new contract with the club. The fact is that Cesc hasn’t refused to sign. In fact there is…
It was there for all to see. All who have eyes that is (which naturally excludes most of the “professional” media, naturally.) Rotational fouling and institutionalised timewasting. Exactly as perfected by Notlob under the Allerdyce manifestation, and developed further by the Oooze at Blackburn before he wandered off to Manchester Arab. Rotational fouling is the…
There have been many previous false dawns where we have thought, “yes, this is it. This is going to be THE SEASON.” And then, sadly we have been let down. The lads have not quite been up to it. They have tried, we have urged them on, but in the end, failure. However this season,…
I’m not bursting with desire to defend Ade, but I do think that some of the stuff being posted about him at the moment is a bit over the top. Here’s a little bit of the other side of the coin. To start, 90% of what passes for the transfer market is now pure manipulation…
So, what we know is that Kolo has got the plague – (big full page spread in The Standard yesterday saying that this was going to be an utter disaster and instantly means that Arsenal will be relegated to the Conference by Christmas). But he hasn’t, he’s got little plague, probably because he was taking…
… which is that he hasn’t actually discussed any of the Adebayor summer issue with Adebayor. At lot has been made this summer of the fact that “Sir” Alex F-word would not return from his summer holiday to have a natter with Ronaldodo but little comment on the fact that Wenger likewise let the player…
If you have ever thought the talk of the Curse of Arsenal was just so much blog based gibberish, then it is time to think again. It should also be a warning to anyone at Arsenal who is looking to leave. The Curse, as you will know if you have been paying attention, was placed…
I’ve written regularly about the determination of a small group of Arsenal supporters to get even with Birmingham City, following that club’s defence of the attack on Eduardo. Birmingham worked hard to stop a FIFA enquiry into the attack, and then rushed back the player responsible after just three games suspension. The insult to Arsenal…
The amazing way in which Arsene Wenger managed to secure William Gallas to play for Arsenal will be the talking point of football until they stop playing football. Arsenal had a highly paid but unhappy left back in Cole. With Clichy – potentially the greatest left back in the world – waiting in the wings…
