Pre-Season Diary As I begin to write this, it has just occurred to me that I have neglected to change the title properly for the last few weeks, and we were stuck on week four for three weeks.I’m looking on that as a symbolic reflection of the Silly Season, rather than a shambolic reflection of […]

Luis Suarez to Arsenal? NO THANK YOU!
