It’s been a fruitful international break for our Arsenal Ladies with the women’s national team. England beating Wales 2-0 and Turkey 4-0 over the course of a week to maintain a perfect record in their qualifying campaign for the 2015 World Cup in Canada. Previously in September they had defeated Belarus 6-0 and Turkey 8-0 […]
Through The Never – Metallica’s groundbreaking, rip-roaring, 3-D thrash metal of a movie following a roadie’s adventures during their live show. A colleague of mine had recently regaled me about how much his mind was unexpectedly blown on such a trip to the IMAX to see this surreal concert film. The litany of pyrotechnics, lasers, […]
THE GREAT DEBATE (Bitch/Moan/Argue) Fans and noisy stadiums “It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust […]
We travel to Dortmund today to play in arguably one of the toughest stadiums to visit in Europe – the Signal Iduna Park or Westfalenstadion depending on your preference. This game will be the pick of the fixtures for many neutrals tonight and promises to be another close fought encounter following Borussia Dortmund’s victory at […]

Usually my rambling nonsensicalness (that can’t be a word, surely, but I’m […]
Week Twelve – And Now You’re Still Not Gonna Believe Us….. This week we played two teams that I have an extreme personal hatred for, and it turned out to be the perfect example of how the emotions we experience throughout the season can change so quickly and dramatically in the course of just a […]
The topsy-turvy emotional Gooner rollercoaster continued this week with a loop-the-loop that left you feeling like a kebab being primed and ready before being dished out to an unruly drunk member of the public in the early hours of a Sunday morning. But enough about my recent adventures with good pal Vodski, and onto what […]
Welcome to ‘Rocky’s Round Up.’ My third look back at the previous months highs and lows from a passionate fans perspective. We began with ‘feel good,’ had a wobble or two, a few wins when not playing so well, always a good sign and ended on a real high. Players to return and a huge […]
In the United States, at least, to be an openly gay (sadly, over here, being queer still needs to be prefaced by “openly,” but a separate issue for another time) sports fan is viewed somewhat askance. We’re just looking at the players is a common refrain, as if one can’t be queer and a student […]
