This is the time of year when people of sense and sensibility hold their breath, waiting for news of a player getting crocked in an international. So far it has not happened this summer – maybe this could be the first summer since, oh, sometime around the middle ages, when no Arsenal player has been…
2007/8 was the season of Anti-Football – that awful, slow, grinding out of negative football with the hope of nicking a goal at the end. This wasn’t the only year of Anti-Football, but it was one of the worst. Most infamous operators of the system were Chelsea under Grant, Greece and Glasgow Rangers. What…
The Milan Hoax – in which they openly stated that Ade was the only player they wanted, then claimed they had a letter from Arsenal virtually begging them to make an offer – before finally saying “we’ve got a guy from Brazil we don’t need anyone else” – is ignored in the press today. These…
In an amazing about turn Cesc Fabregas has agreed to write a regular column for the Daily Mail. In it he will reflect upon life as a professional footballer. It is thought he will discuss his longing to return to Spain, and the way in which professional players talk to each other and encourage each…
Because, after all the rubbish and nonsense about Arsenal being bust, having to sell even poor old Senderos to balance the books, the Board selling despite Wenger saying no, everyone leaving… and on and on and on and on and on and suddenly its all great. We have Jack Wilshere. We have so many…

There is a story in the Mail on Sunday 27 July which says that Senderos is wanted by Newcastle United, and that they have bid £4 million. More, it says that Mr Wenger doesn’t want to sell him, but that the Board are interested in letting him go, especially if they can edge this up…
Now I want you to sit down and relax. Take some deep breaths. If you don’t I can’t possibly be responsible for the result. This is a quotation from that awfully nice Mr Ramos of the Tiny Totts reported in the Guardian. “Tottenham have a clear philosophy and have had for years. We are on…
We know that Milan have finished mucking about. All that stuff about “the only person we want to sign is Adebayor” followed by “we don’t want to sign anyone else” shows that it was all a hoax to help edge along their discussions with Barca, keep the fans happy and disrupt their rivals. So that…
All business life has bubbles. If you paid attention at school you might have heard of the South Sea Bubble – when the South Sea company bought the national debt from the government and paid insane interest rates, based entirely on the fact that more and more people were signing up for the scam. Then…
