Getting your house done over by a load of scoucer thieves can’t be a nice experience for anyone, but it is hard to have too much sympathy for Liverpool Insolvency’s Robbie (call me Roberto, it sounds more manly) Keane. Keane knew that he was going to Liverpool which is in, err, Liverpool, home of the…
There is a piece in the Guardian today concerning last night’s Arsenal / Twenty Twenty game which really made me laugh out loud. Scroll down through the report, to the be underneath, and there you will find a minute by minute Dutchness rating of the McClaren. Not to everyone’s humour I’m sure, but it…
Viewing events from high up in the Julian Alps gives one a new perspective on football affairs, and none more so than in the extraordinary case of the virus that caught “Wayne Rooney”. I can tell you that in much of the world this was a story of considerable concern, and many were deeply worried…
Wenger is building a very young team – and every day on the radio, on TV and in the press there are screams that he has to buy buy buy buy buy buy buy buy. You’d think that somewhere an editor or a producer might say, “Hang on guys, we’ve run the story about Wenger…
Two important pieces of transfer news and some big financial chit-chat. First: Senderos – exactly why do Milan want him? According to the Sun (yes I know its not going to be true, but sometimes you get a laugh) the Manager said that Milan had searched high and low for the best possible big central…

The malicious twisting of the stories about Arsenal’s finances are a case in point….
I am firmly of the opinion that Lord Wenger has not lost it, and knows what he is doing. Thus I am unworried about the centre of midfield. The Great Manager has something up his sleeve. The only problem is: what? Trying to solve the problem is made all the harder because I have no…
So, continuing from the last blog, maybe Wenger has all his hopes placed on Bischoff. Or maybe he actually does have four players lined up for central midfield, and even the mighty Lord W doesn’t actually know who the next genius to play next to Cesc will be. I say that because just over a…
It is hard to know where to begin – but certainly 1 September 2008 will go down as a brilliant day for Arsenal. The arrival on the scene of Manchester Arab means that CSKA Fulham no longer have it all their own way in terms of buying anything they want. If there’s a top player…
It was much reported this week that Arsenal are at last saying openly, “Just read our financial statements and reports” in the face of endless mindless commentary about Arsenal having no money. What was not reported however was the fact that Manchester Bankrupt’s situation is so bad that they are now having to cut costs…
