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…
It was the most far-fetched plan ever, but after the tackle on Eduardo that nearly cost him a leg, a little group of Arsenal fans felt they just had to act. When one member of the group claimed to be able to put a curse on Birmingham, there was general disbelief – but no one…
WORST SUPPORTERS 2007/8: ASTON VILLA As usual there were votes for Man U with their dreadful pedophilia song, but for sheer awful bad taste and managing to get the whole stadium against them within 30 seconds, the winners must be Aston Villa. They played Arsenal just after the dreadful assault by Birmingham City on Eduardo,…
In a season for injuries at the Emirates Mark Randall managed to pick up his injuries while on loan at Burnley. When on the pitch he’s done well, but the little injuries and a virus have kept him out of the game. But Wenger’s belief in him remains in tact -the midfielder replaced Denilson in…
Eduardo, as you may recall, was violently assaulted while playing for Arsenal against Birmingham City. As a result the player who committed the assault was given a three match ban. Now Hleb, the Arsenal player, has been given exactly the same punishment for a dainty tap on the face of a Reading player. So there…

Pires, Vieira, Henry, Campbell, Lauren, Ljungberg – this was their moment, and although they didn’t vanish at once, in retrospect we can see that…
To understand what is going on at Arsenal you have to understand a decision that Wenger made upon arrival. He was offered a pot of money at the start, and he spent some of it on players like Vieira, Grimandi etc. That got a lot of attention in the press. What got less attention was…
