GUNS NORTHWARD HO!
Manchester City v Arsenal FC. Hello! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. Autumns speeding on, soon the leaves will be falling like something described in a 17th century haiku, floating down gently to cover up the sneaky dog-turds that apparently bless you with good luck should skid in one. Its at this time of […]

On Thursday, September 19th at 8.00pm (western European time) we haul our Mighty Cannon like old Hannibal over the Alps, down into Bella Italia and set up attacking positions at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy, Europe, the planet Earth, […]
Effective Arsenal.
Good morning all. That my fellow positives was, as they endlessly say, was a massive win. Humongous even. We went there short of two of our most important and consistent players, and came away with all 3 points. Marvelous. What more could we ask for? Well, funny you should ask that, because that question confuses […]

My neighbourhood team have long since taken in the goal posts. There’s a travelling funfair on the pitch, dodgem cars racing around the goal mouth, the Waltzer […]
Arsenal Versus Sunderland: Keep Your Eyes On The Prize
Sorry but I’m struggling to get my head into football mode for you this morning. Don’t panic, I haven’t gone all Jose Mourinho, I don’t regard the final fixtures of a season as any less interesting or important than the first, it isn’t that. I’m just buried in another project and it’s demanding all of […]
Arsenal Versus Southampton: Drop The Monkey
There was something extremely cathartic about Danny Welbeck’s goal on Sunday. A palpable relief of tension so orgasmic that my involuntary exclamation awoke Liz from a deep and dreamless sleep. I was watching in the wee small hours having evaded the score until I returned home from my labours and had managed to remain quietly […]
Arsenal Versus Man United: Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon
“You know what I’d like now Stew? I’d like your lot to win the FA Cup and us to win the Europa. If nothing else it will annoy Spurs, City and of course spoil the party for Chelsea.” It was funny to be chatting amiably with my only Man United supporting mate the day before […]
