It’s fair to say that it’s been a great few days for us Gooners: the men’s team won the North London Derby, the women’s team thrashed Manchester City five-nil and last night Jonas Eidevall’s girls battered Sp*rs in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Tottenham get battered wherever they […]

The Return of Excitement POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES So much can be healed at home games if you are willing to start with energy that intimidates.
