A more humane, more palatable version than the one that graced us with his presence 10 years ago. But true to form, when the going gets tough, the mouth gets going. In November 2005, Josie stepped […]
Have the Arsenal had their Achilles heal exposed & severed. For all the flair, guile & ability, has the soft underbelly been flipped over & left in the sun to be pecked at by the big team vultures. Again, we get on the plane to the North West, to a top 6 contender & boom […]
