Cashley Cole – We loved him, we hate him, we made him, we grudgingly respect him, but Hodgson don’t ignore him
When I hear the name ‘Ashley Cole’ I shudder. I shudder harder than the time I went out in the snow wearing nothing but fishnet tights and a string vest. Everyone else was shuddering when they saw me too. Can’t think why. That name, Ashley Cole, tears me up. I hate the little bastard. Hate […]

Can Arsenal borrow your song Manchester United and then shove it right back up your Arse?

Arsenal out of the title race, new Bacary Sagna/Tomas Rosicky deals and Thomas Vermaelen commits
It’s that time of the week again where it’s my job to try to entertain the Gooner faithful on Gunners Town, as well as attempting to build up an array of fascinating, intellectual debate about the Arsenal. I Tweeted on Sunday morning stating that I “felt like I was on my period” due to my […]
Premier League bottlers Arsenal entertain Europa League minnows Sheriff Tiraspol; What if?
