Yesterday evening I picked up The Management from her work Christmas gathering and I did the gentlemanly thing and dropped off a couple of her colleagues at the nearby station in Surbiton. On the way I was asked by one of the lads - a United fan - the usual question i'm sure we all [...]
I can be one of the few that said they actually bothered turning up last night for the dead rubber against BATE last night but, unlike my picture above suggests, that's where the only disappointment of the night exists. The stadium was probably even less than half full and whilst that will no doubt be [...]

Morning fellow Gooners. Ain't nothing like a match day, eh?

Step forward Nacho Monreal. Not only has he turned out to be a pretty fine centre half, keeping other more [...]
In the summer - early in the summer as well - Ivan talked about a 'catalyst for change' at the club and come 1st September the lack of transfer activity in core areas of the pitch - notably midfield - led many of us to feel as though we'd once again been fed spin by [...]
Some delayed thoughts from Saturday’s North London Derby 2-0 win against Tottenham in November 2017
Yesterday Arsène spoke to the assembled media to give a bit of an update on the team news and I suppose the good stuff is that nobody has been maimed enough to be sitting out that we didn’t already know about. Mustafi and Welbeck look to be back, Giroud is our, whilst the sword of [...]
