DB’s Season Diary Week 3 – The Great Arsenal Conspiracy As tedious as an international break can be, I for one was quite glad of it when it came. Coming hot on the heels of the end of the transfer window, a break such as this goes a long way to reviving our hunger for what […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 2 – Monday 1st September – The Meltdown Cometh… All day we waited, but they never came. We waited for the fabled DM, the beast who would protect us and keep us safe (or is it CDM? The whole place is so awash with consonants I’ve become tired and confused.) We waited for […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 1 – Time to Turn the Cannon Outwards Well, the season is now well and truly underway since you last heard from me, and just like I felt after being back at work for five minutes after two weeks away, it feels like it never went away. In case you’ve been living […]
DB’s Silly Season Diary- Are We Nearly There Yet? I find myself in a strange situation writing this, as it will be the last piece I’ll be writing before the start of the season, as this time next week I’ll be sitting by the pool with beer in hand. In fact, being pretty much in […]
DB’S SILLY SEASON DIARY 2014: Sanchez Signs, Mathieu Materialises and Khedira Kidnapped So, last year it was Mesut. Fucking. Özil, and the rise of the umlaut. This year, it’s Alexis. Fucking. Sánchez and an attack of acute hysteria. Yes, the thingy over the “a” is called an acute, in case you were wondering. Just hours […]
DB’s Silly Season Diary Sanchez, Schneiderlin and Shirt Rage I decided to wait until July 1st to start writing this, even though it’s been a fortnight since you heard from me last. I hope you’ve all survived without me, and have been following the golden rules to surviving the Silly Season I’ve provided you with so […]
DB’S SILLY SEASON DIARY 2014 The great thing about doing this fortnightly is that it gives me more of a chance to observe how our moods and reactions can change during the Silly Season. For instance, when I started jotting down stuff for this instalment, the end of the world was nigh, as Cesc Fabregas […]
Here Comes the Summer Welcome Back to The Silly Season As you may or may not know, last summer I wrote a weekly column throughout what we’ve come to know as the Silly Season. Yep, you read that right. I actually wrote a weekly column covering the whole of last summer’s transfer window fun. Well, […]
As I write, less than a week on from that unforgettable day at Wembley, I’m already starting to see some of the focus shifting from winning the FA Cup to who we should and aren’t going to sign this summer among other things, and the bitching has started in earnest. Fine, if that’s your bag, […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 37 That’s it then. Another Premier League season done and dusted, another fourth place troph.. sorry, another fourth place finish, this time sewn up before the last game of the season, and with the annual St Totteringham’s day hilarity falling comfortably earlier than in recent seasons. DON’T MENTION THE B WORD! […]
