This is a post Arsenal Andrew made earlier today. I believe it deserves its own blog. Nice to see you Andrew,absence makes the heart…………….and all that .     I suspect it may take a few years for the enormity of all Arsene Wenger’s achievements to be fully digested, absorbed, understood and appreciated.

What a difference a year makes. This time a year ago Arsenal fans the world over were frustrated after a long hard fought season where we made it hard for ourselves once more and eventually managed to scraped 4th place. Manchester United had won the league and Fergie had…

   Today we have the first in a series of blogs on the rise and rise of Aaron Ramsey, which with a bit of luck will see some new bloggers popping their cherries. I’m not ashamed to say that I wasn’t always Ramsey’s biggest fan. For a long time I quite simply though he was […]

Pre-sentence report Defendant: Luis Alberto Diaz Suarez -D.O.B. 24/01/1987.   This report has been prepared following one interview with the defendant. I’ve had…

A few years ago I happened across a Coroner’s Report in one of the more respectable UK broadsheets. The subject of the inquest was the untimely death of a middle-age man who’d passed away whilst availing himself of the intimate attentions of an honest lady of the night.
