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! […]
Afternoon chaps, by the time you read this, the 2014 Brazilian World Cup will have started. The majority of the best players plying their trade will be present and the roller-coaster ride will give us some thrilling highs and gut-wrenching lows. 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.

[…]
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, […]
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 […]
We need to be more clinical and more creative in the final third without a shadow of a doubt. I sometimes think that we play too much football in the wrong areas. That includes our own defensive third and the attacking third and it’s decision making. We’re disappointed, I’m disappointed today because we’re dominating games […]
