Maybe it is just me, but I cannot stand the sight of the following:

(It’s nothing personal to those fans, they’re just the images I could get hold of – although as a side-point of interest, those Arsenal scarves you see there came with



An exciting prospect

Ask anyone from any tabloid publication and it’s pure doom and gloom at Upton Park these days. Well it has been for the last few years really….I’m sure we’re all getting quite hardened to dealing with it.
It’s nice once in a

Last month I put together a ‘take-this-with-a-pinch-of-salt’ comparison piece outlining the head-to-head history of all the sides we had played till that point in the season (HERE) Although, like I say, you do have to take the results with a

His absence was particularly noted whilst Robert Huth comitted GBH on Upson during the



What should have happened? Some interesting stats
