AFTER THE THRASHING – THE DRESSING ROOM (Parental guidance advised – contains very strong language.) After the thrashing, the hacks had gathered like hungry seagulls hovering around a trawler for scraps, awaiting Arsene Wenger’s press conference. “We have the cunt now!” “Backed right into a corner, mate!” “No defending this one, can’t even mention mental […]
The 113th Football Oscars – 2014 It’s that time of year again, when we roll out the red carpet, pop the Man of the Match champagne, and pay homage to the great and the good, and the truly terrible of the season to date. A chance for the players and managers and commentators alike, to […]
Burmese Nights and Arsenal delights… Ah! Back to the grindstone, cold weather, pissy rain and Guinness farts. Holidays turn to a distant memory far too quickly these days. A distant memory, but an unforgettable one, nonetheless. Burma (Myanmar) was everything I’d hoped and more! If you get the opportunity to go to a country that […]
Holiday Time Again. Need the rest. Break out the beachwear. Holiday time again, need a break from the stresses and strains of the transfer window, and a rest, to build up the energy for the seriously tough and crucial run of games to come.

Aww, all this winning has made Twitter a bit boring; No, moody, actually. Everything is going so well that the slightest little thing sets people off, like a starting gun bang, or the hare flying past, and the traps pop open and out flies the crap. It’s even beyond moody at times. It’s almost bi-polar […]
“Time heals what reason cannot.” – Seneca. How true. A few things got me thinking about Time recently. The rumoured reforming of Monty Python, and Brian Cox. Jaysus, with the lack of originality around these days, most people unable to think a little bit outside the box, the re-formed bands, The Stone Roses on tour in […]
THE GREAT DEBATE (Bitch/Moan/Argue) Fans and noisy stadiums “It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust […]
