Sentimentality Killed the Cat? Ultimately, 2 fundamental errors cost us yesterday. A la Lehmann in Paris, The BFG didn’t need to make the tackle. It was 18 minutes into the game, so if Costa had beaten Petr, we had plenty of time. Costa ain’t the quickest, so Per could have stayed with him and held […]
My old man always said “Son, never give them your surname and never go back”, great advice (mmmm) but there are always some worth a late night booty call*. Sol and Henry got their second chance at love and of course Flame in in his 3rd year of a rekindle romance with the Gunners. Are […]

And the 2016 winner is….. It’s the start of a new year and in keeping with tradition, I thought I would ask some well known football brains their predictions for the rest of the season.

Christmas comes but once a year! Christmas comes but once a year, Bringing Gooners everywhere plenty of cheer. But don’t forget the very best part, Chelsea imploding causing Maureen to depart. And United can score at home or away!!?? With Van Gaal facing the sack, well any day City are wasting the money from the […]
It all started way back when, way back when Gary Lewin decided to up sticks and head for the bright lights of St Georges Park and Team England. On his way out of the door he shouted back to Arsene, “I know a guy, he’ll see you right. I’ll call you from the car” Bemused, […]
I’m still standing ? Not much to say following Sunday Bloody Sunday, well except, “Oh look it’s November, let’s all book a trip to the physio”. The defeat sucks, but the injuries are are verging on ridiculous. If all the tests are as bad as they probably will be, the best starting XI we can […]
