A five point plan to avoid another year of heartache for Arsenal

September 28, 2010

It may only be early in the season, but we have already approached a major fork in the road, and one that might have a significant bearing on the fortunes of Arsenal football club. To a man I believe all Gooners would agree that up until the West Brom debacle it has been a quite wonderful, albeit facile start to the season. [...]

Miss UKFF 2010 official footage

Keeping it real with the UKFF Girls

Cafe de Paris; a popular, swanky London club normally associated with burlesque dancers. Attracting hundreds of partygoers every weekend, it is the place to be. Tonight, however, was about 6 ladies in particular. Although Claire, Nati, Heather, Claudia, Nicola and Jo lived in different places and had never met [...]

Let’s all enjoy the not-so-shocking upsets.

September 27, 2010

Okay, so I probably wouldn’t be writing that headline had Owen not rescued United from a defeat yesterday (our defending is giving me palpitations and fits of rage, more on which shortly). But it’s hard not to welcome a weekend in which the artists formally known as the Big Four all failed to register wins [...]

Tottenham’s less than glamorous start to the season

September 27, 2010

Apologies, first of all, for another Spurs related post. However, their poor start to the season is something I can’t turn a blind too, being a Spurs fan and all. Admittedly, it wasn’t as bad as the 08/09 season when we had 2 points after 8 games yet, for a team hoping to become a [...]

Wigan. May this be their year for the drop

September 26, 2010

The Premier League table is starting to take some sort of shape. Six games in and the expected top four already is the top four (Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal and Man City), Blackburn, Sunderland and Bolton are in the middle, and Wolves, Wigan and West Ham are towards the lower end. There’ll clearly be a [...]

September 25, 2010

Wenger has let the club down by not replacing Almunia while he had the chance and now he has to deal with the consequences. [...]

Footballers need to do their talking on the pitch!

September 24, 2010

As a Spurs fan, Tuesday night’s performance hurt….a lot! What got to me more, however, was the players, once again, stating that Spurs have closed the gap on Arsenal and we are the better team. Same thing I’ve heard over and over and over again. Yet, not a peep from the Arsenal players on the [...]

Lets all lick Man United’s backside – They’re all at it!

September 23, 2010

It’s official, Sky are not alone when it comes to licking Manchester United’s backside. Premier League sponsors Barclays have run a poll inviting their readers to vote for the best ever Premier League XI. The response was pretty emphatic but if you’re not a fan of The Red Devils it’s probably best to look away now… [...]

You’re not fit to referee…

September 23, 2010

It seems to be a regular occurrence that games are continually ruined by refereeing decisions which ultimately cost the team on the end of these decisions not just 3 points but those 3 points could be the difference between relegation and staying up or qualifying for Europe or not. [...]

Why should we have to put up with bland pundits?

September 21, 2010

So Stan Collymore has decided to come out and criticise the Match of the Day pundits and the Walkers Crisps salesman. You might have though that Stan would just be happy to be back on TV after his sacking from the BBC for his car park sexual antics – although he does have to share a studio with Jim Rosenthal now, so maybe there is some justice †[...]

Wanted: An English Export

September 21, 2010

The Premier League is full of players from countries from around the world hence why recent rules have been implemented by the FA for Premier League Clubs to name 8 home-grown players in their squads. There are even an increasing number of foreign imports in our game in the Championship and even lower down the league structure. This may be because [...]

Whinging Wenger Can’t Dish It Out If His Team Can’t Take It

September 20, 2010

I’m not going to get high and mighty about this.

Yes, Wenger shouldn’t have shouted in that official’s face after his side conceded a last minute equaliser at Sunderland. He certainly shouldn’t have shoved him. Let’s be clear: it isn’t acceptable. [...]
