Fear of enjoying the experience of playing football took over two professional teams and reminded us that the stakes are really high in the Premier […]
Good afternoon Gooners. After a couple of weeks off for various reasons, I’m back today and ready to delve into all things Arsenal. It’s be a rollercoaster 2014 so far, where we have already felt the highs, lows, nerves and joy that football tends to throw at us on an all too frequent basis. We’re […]
Thank You Tottenham Hotspur ? 3rd March 2013 was a day that all Arsenal fans dread. It was a day of defeat in the North London Derby. It was the start of a 24 hour period of Facebook silence for me, with my status being “I love Tottenham Hotspur” (a long running bet I have […]

If any of you are regular readers of this feature, I apologise for its absence last week. Looks like Liverpool blogs have a particularly uniform habit of not responding to any mails because that is what happened with me. I mean, what is the use of having a CONTACT form if you aren’t ready to […]
Hello there! Yes, hello you, now, put that down and concentrate on reading this. Yes, get rid of those other tabs and let yourself hunkered down into your chair. Open that packet of biscuits you know you have secreted in your larder and pour yourself a nice cup of Darjeeling. Are you comfortable now? Good. I […]
Michael Jeffares Column This is how it used to feel wasn’t it? You know, the winning.
