MODERN FOOTBALL, WHERE WILL IT ALL END? ££££££££ I know it’s extremely satisfying to see Barcelona lose one of their best players to another club. It’s karma for what they did to Arsenal, taking Cesc Fabregas and other players away from us. But even so the Neymar deal doesn’t seem right to me. In fact […]

Little Bit Handbrake : A Forgettable Messi February
With work related travel taking up a huge part of the last three weeks, I’ve been unable to post my column per my usual schedule. In a way, I count this as a blessing in disguise. It has shielded me from what has been such a toxic and painful month for Arsenal and Arsenal fans […]
Gunderdogs can beat Barca if Cech keeps Messi off scoresheet
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick.

A big void in my life is that I’ve never been able to pronounce the word sgjljdhfouncen. I just can’t do it. Another void, not Pink Floyd, in my life was not seeing Cesc Fabregas not win a trophy with Arsenal during his time at the club. There are big rumours, and when I say […]
Thierry Henry – One of the all time greats, Yes! – Legend, No!
Thierry Henry is and always will be regarded as one of the greatest players to every grace these isles. Both opposition players and fans enjoyed watching him score goal after goal for Arsenal. But is he a legend? Not in my eyes. One of the greatest to pull on an Arsenal Shirt, mostly definitely. Legend? […]
