Dyed in the wool Gooner struggling to see the world through anything other than Red and White tinted glasses. Parental guidance recommended.. Will try to evolve my output to highlight some of the lesser lights, but until then it's the mighty Gooners all the way!

Can Arsenal do the double over Man City?

January 5, 2011

Nouveau Rich, noisy neighbours, financial dopers.  Call them what you will, there is no ignoring the threat that Manchester City are now posing to the established elite of the Premier League.  Whilst Arsenal have played the financial tournament, going for glory supported only by a shoe string budget, City have cared little how many enemies [...]

We salute you Danny Murphy & Arsene Wenger

November 6, 2010

Early morning odds on a broken leg low only due to the bravery of Murphy and Wenger. Blood and Thunder. Pride and Passion. Commitment. Reducer, let him know you are there early doors. He’s not that kind of player. These platitudes and their ilk, spouted by the supporters of the perpetrators of some of the [...]

Forgotten men of sad South African Summer set to prosper

August 25, 2010

Neglected. Overlooked. Surplus to requirements. Out of form and out of favour.

Whichever spin you put on it, it was a disappointingly heartbreaking World Cup Summer for Theo Walcott, Adam Johnson and Joe Hart. Oft muted as the future of whatever fleeting hopes of glory we may still hold for our national teams prospects, they were each expected [...]

Lets talk about Cesc…

June 25, 2010

I’ve had such a bad feeling about this whole sorry saga that I haven’t wanted to share my thoughts on it until now. My decision to finally do so may or may not be because I am stuck in monsoon hit southern Poland with a dearth of alcohol or understandable television. Oh, or football. I’ll let you decide. [...]

The Pompey Predicament

April 15, 2010

Now, before I begin, I must state that it is the preserve of football fans to be a fickle bunch. We are forever apt to be fully committed to one viewpoint one day, only to spin 180 degrees, completely disagreeing with it the next. This is the pickle that I currently find myself in.

Arselona or Barcenal? Who will be the footballing kings of Europe?

April 1, 2010

So after United insipid capitulation at the hands of German tormentors, tonight we get stuck into the main course. What’s not to love?

Bridge Over Troubled Water? Well boo f*$king hoo…

February 26, 2010

So the latest instalment of this car crash of a footballing soap opera has come to pass. In the aftermath of the scintillating and sordid airing of John Terry’s dirty laundry to the general public at large (why can he just wipe it on the curtains like everyone else?) we are told that Wayne Bridge is still devastated at the betrayal dealt to him [...]
