DB’S SILLY SEASON DIARY 2014 The great thing about doing this fortnightly is that it gives me more of a chance to observe how our moods and reactions can change during the Silly Season. For instance, when I started jotting down stuff for this instalment, the end of the world was nigh, as Cesc Fabregas […]
So, here we go guys and gals, the utter arse ache that is the summer transfer window; arguably the only time of the year Arsene Wenger will dip into the club’s cash reserves and buy some players. It is also a time of utter frustration, compulsive head-scratching and incessant thigh rubbing (although usually there’s less […]
Arsenal’s Mr 100% reliable (not @GeoffArsenal) has left the Emirates. As well as leaving, Bacary Sagna has chosen to join French compatriots Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy at Manchester City, perhaps thinking he must earn all he can before he draws the curtains on his professional career. Fair play to him. Now we must get […]
The World Cup has finally started for Germany and what a start it was. Germany crushed Mr. Ronaldo and his Portuguese team 4-0 in their opening match on Monday afternoon. To be honest I didn’t expect that at all. On the other hand I didn’t expect Holland to beat Spain 5-1 on Friday, so I […]
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!

Personally, I am saddened that the tropical climate will almost certainly rob us of […]
About a year ago a lady I knew through work sent some information about a new football product designed by her husband and a friend to those she knew had a passion for football and thought might be interested. It was about the time I was taking over Gunners Town with a few partners. I […]
The season has ended and, for Arsenal, it has ended on an immeasurable high. Winning our first trophy in 9 years has induced a collective sigh of relief and utter joy amongst the fan base and it’s importance should not be underestimated, especially as the progressive effect it could have is yet to be seen. […]
The first rule of Project Emirates is… Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Look we can’t get Wenger to be our manager, know matter hope much money I throw at him he just won’t leave Arsenal. He said it had something to do with respect and ‘honoring a contract’. Khaldoon Al Mubarak Well boss, we’ve […]
Here Comes the Summer Welcome Back to The Silly Season As you may or may not know, last summer I wrote a weekly column throughout what we’ve come to know as the Silly Season. Yep, you read that right. I actually wrote a weekly column covering the whole of last summer’s transfer window fun. Well, […]
