As we reach midpoint in a week without Arsenal there is, unsurprisingly, little of interest worth talking about. Hopefully this means that all our lot are tucked away on the training pitch training their little arses off. The main point of note that I can find this morning is a lot of talk about how [...]

Well that was all a little bit embarrassing wasn’t it? It all seemed so routine until Nasri pulled his hamstring (meaning two to three weeks out and missing the Barca first leg). Then we just fell apart. It was all going so well. Sure, we weren’t looking perfect, we never do when we play Arshbend [...]

Apologies for the lack of blogging yesterday, I’ll not bore you with details of my illness, although some of you might find it funny as it causes me to fall over a lot and look as if I’m hammered without taking a drink, but it put me out of action for two days and then [...]

God my head hurts today. I’d love to say it’s the result of a massive bender, but alas, it’s just the result of dodgy genes. Pah. This is likely to be a quickie today as each keystroke is agony. Tomorrow we have the joy of Leeds arriving at the Emirates for the early kick-off live [...]

Well there really only is one story today – Barcelona in the Champions League and while you could quite easily say ‘it could only be them’ it was simply the ‘luck’ of the draw – no conspiracy theories here. So some people are terrified, some people are gagging for it, and some people are just [...]

Sometimes in football, you don’t always get what you deserve. As we know, you can dominate games for 89 minutes, but one defensive lapse and you lose. On the flip side, you can be so shambolic that you deserve to lose and you somehow manage to get a win. Today’s game against Fulham fell a [...]

Apologies for the lack of blog yesterday, my granda, who is the reason I’m a football fanatic, was turning 80 and I’m sure you can forgive me for prioritising that. Anyway, football, and we have the joy of another home tie tomorrow against (everyone’s favourite ex-Man cnut) Mark Hughes’ Fulham. In today’s press conference Wenger [...]

Wasn’t quite sure I would get time to do a blog today, been out with my nephew all day and heading to see Mr. Nice in person tonight, but given the miracle that has happened at Ashburton Grove Medical Centre it would seem sacreligious not to at least mention it. Yes, in case you haven’t [...]

So here it is folks, back for the season, and as that’s a long ‘aul haul I shall be breaking it up in to two competitions. We will have a mid-season ‘winner’ – so whoever is top of the league on December 31st will win a Tshirt. The league will continue on from then, so [...]

Well, it’s finally here, our first big match since our last one. For the Spuds, matches against Arsenal don’t come much bigger, and as they search for their first win away against one of the big four for the first time in five hundred years we will need to be on top of our game [...]

God almighty I hope Arsenal have shares in a health company because the number of heart attacks brought on by last night’s match must surely have been in their thousands. I can’t remember the last time I was so nervous as a match drew to a close. So often we have watched our team throw [...]

This is all very strange isn’t it? Heading in to a Carling Cup match knowing that we are actually taking it quite seriously. It was in evidence at WHL that this had become the case although we did not know before the squad was announced that we would be going for the Carling Cup as [...]
