How are we doing, Gooners? Enjoying the glorious weather? Kits all ironed and ready for The Emirates Cup this weekend? Are we all enjoying Puma’s new offerings – and is it bad that I quite like the third one?! The departure, after two decades, of Nike, had me reminiscing – they were the kit suppliers […]
O Captain, your subconscious has wrecked my Bentley “O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart!

Dear Deirdre, I’m thirty two years old. Since 2005, I’ve been dumped by a succession of men who have left me for (usually) rich foreign sorts who can offer so much more than I can. First, there was Patrick. Well built, charming…very French. But I suspected that he had a roving eye from as far […]
Five things we have learnt about Arsenal this week: Hello gang, thanks for dropping by and coming back for some more of my own-brand, taste the difference pieces on our beloved Arsenal Football Club.

Global Gooner Sundays It’s been a while since I’ve written but I was keen to accept the open invitation from Dave Seager to write for Gunners Town. The drought was born out of lack of inspiration and a good topic to work on. Chalk that up to the slow crunch of the transfer window, the […]
Gunners Town Top 5 Happy Monday everybody and welcome to my new weekly blog entitled ‘Gunners Town Top 5’. Apologies for my absence over the past fortnight but my life has been all over the shop as of late. But have no fear, Editor Cotton is back! I’ve taken a backseat when it comes to […]
Mr. T’s Nuts During the invincible season Arsenal were completely dominant in midfield, which owed much to the world class talent we had the time. We also had a fantastic central partnership in Gilberto Silva and Patrick Vieira, and the supporting cast of Edu and Ray Parlour were great squad options when called upon. It […]
You Guest It The last eight years have been tough. We’ve seen our beloved captains leave us, performances slide and we haven’t won a trophy and every single team in the Football League has changed managers, yet one.
