Justice served cold to biased and belligerent Burnley fans
Watching the Burnley vs Arsenal game yesterday, I was struck with the incredible partisan nature of the crowd. I don’t mean fervent, passionate get-behind-your-team partisan, I mean boo-the-other-team-and-every-single-decision-that-is-given-or-not-given-against-you. It was absolutely remarkable. Handball shouts every 2 minutes, baying for blood with every Arsenal tackle. It got me thinking about the basis of football support. Do […]
Arsenal’s obsession, Burnley’s concession, its all about possession – And making it count! #BFCvAFC
A visit to Turf Moor is on the cards today and suffice to say we are facing another stern test. The win in the North London derby was grand, however it is not unreasonable to expect Burnley will play a totally different kind of game to Spurs. They are much more likely to sit back […]

Yesterday all of Liverpool, Spurs, City and United dropped points, clearing the path for us to overtake the former two and increase the gap on the latter pair. On paper screen, Burnley at home looks as winnable a fixture […]
Top Four Key Leanings for Arsenal from a the narrow win at Burnley
Arsene Wenger’s official 20th anniversary as the manager of Arsenal Football Club saw his North London side travel to Burnley in a pivotal match that was contested between the two.

Saved by the Hand of Kos – Burnley 0-1 Arsenal
As the 93rd minute was ticking away, I was thinking of how great a last-minute winner could be. This unique feeling of snatching the win when the draw is staring you in the face. Nothing compares to it. The guys behind me in the pub were having a good time, mostly because they were watching […]
Chelsea, Basle, 20 years of Wenger – Now time to finish the week in style at Turf Moor
Phew, it’s been a hell of a week. If you are interested in what I’ve been up to, this has been my first (kind of proper) week studying journalism at Kingston. In this week I managed to: Do and show the first bit of assessed work in the form of a group presentation (on click-bait […]
