Cripplegate Week: cherishing the injured

Oh what to do in Cripplegate Week – the week when all our top stars go off and get injured while playing not for the Arsenal who pay their wages but for a bunch of morons called “international managers” who treat them with utter contempt.
Well, the first thing is, if you fancy doing a spot […]

Arsenal must fight bent UEFA to the bitter end

At last, a club willing to stand up and fight against the insane, bent and discredited UEFA.
Arsenal’s statement over the Eduardo affair was everything we could have wished for – a complete catalogue of everything that is wrong with the warped European governing body, including its arrogant belief that it can get away with anything, […]

UEFA demand clubs cut debts. KGB Fulham agree – and other rubbish

Here’s a stange story.   Michel Platini says that he will pass legislation to ensure that from 2012/13 onwards every club in the Champs League have to have accounts in balance.

2009/10: the new Arsenal heroes

The publishers very kindly included me in their list of guest writers and so I duly cheated and put in two players: […]

Evening Standard launch another hoax Arsenal story, but its not very good

Just as I was thinking we’d had enough of hoaxes on this site for a while, a post turned up claiming that “Wenger is London’s least popular Premier League manager in the eyes of his club’s own supporters with Roy Hodgson, Guus Hiddink, Gianfranco Zola and Harry Redknapp all polling higher marks for last season”
The […]

Arsène Wenger has not left the building

There’s a story that has cropped up a few times recently, and it goes like this… Arsène Wenger is on holiday or in the Far East or both, when he should be concluding deals in Europe. If he can’t take the club seriously he should be sacked.

As has already been said here by others, […]

Bosnian football & EPL – spot the difference

Bosnian football and the EPL by Armin Medic In a hilly, small Balkans country called Bosnia there is a Premier League. Which sounds a bit like England – but that’s where the similarity ends. But even so, we should not ignore the Bosnian League, because of the story that follows…

In the season 2008/9 FK Sloboda […]

Arsenal signing & financial disaster news
