Given the Bellerin news and today being the day of the Poppy, last night my tired mind drifted to the Debuchy and for some reason the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel. The Pimpernal a flower not disimilar to a Poppy and our French right back as elusive and hard to find. We may need him […]
Destroy. Build. Repeat. We can’t have a stress-free transfer window, can we? The signings of Granit Xhaka, Skhodran Mustafi and Lucas Pérez seemed to finally complete a squad that was desperately calling for reinforcements, but the joy didn’t last much. We just overcame the terrifying idea of Arsène Wenger not replacing the injured pair […]
It’s a quite morning in London Colney. The birds are tweeting, the squirrels are rummaging and the only other noise is the low crescendo of rippling gravel under the tyres of a solitary Ferrari, making its lonely way down the drive to the front door. The car comes to a halt and out jumps Theo, […]
As May comes to a close and June is in sight, the football world takes on a new form. No longer is it about 11 players giving there all on a football pitch to win, the football supporting masses redirect there attention to transfers. That’s right its silly season coinciding with barbecue season once more; […]
In the closing stages of our final game of the season against Aston Villa, for the first time in the entire campaign, I felt truly united with all my fellow Arsenal supporters. We sang together and we laughed together as the news of Spurs’ humiliation, at the hands of a relegated Newcastle side, filtered through. […]
“I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain, I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team. It’s important that top clubs don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the English Premier League and English players should be involved.” This infamous quote from […]
England is the home of football. England is the home of the oldest cup competition in the world, the FA Cup. It is also home to one of the strongest leagues in the world, the Barclays Premier League. But why are the English players underperforming? Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, […]
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I last wrote. Unfortunately, it’ll be the case for the entire month of July, as I’ve decided to gain a bit of working experience and thus took up work as an intern for a firm providing legal services. Ah well, I guess I had to do it at […]
This week has been a very interesting one as far as non-playing weeks go. We’ve signed another promising youngster who may or may not turn out to be special. I really feel that we’re going to see an awful lot more of this sort of thing from other clubs now that the ‘home grown’ quota […]
Well last weeks piece seemed to poke the hornets nest in Middlesex. It’s amazing how p!ssed off they get when you mention that that aren’t actually from London and then they resort to ranting about Woolwich and descend into homophobic slander about our players. I for one, have no issue with and am proud of […]
