Arsenal’s summer comes back to haunt it 18 Aug 2013 | 12:34 pm
Arsenal 1-3 Aston Villa As Villa’s third goal went it yesterday, consigning us to our first opening-day defeat for 20 years, I felt a twinge of pity. A clash of calendars had rendered me elsewhere so...

Last summer: 30th April – Podolski signing announced 26th June – Giroud signing announced 7th August – Cazorla signing announced Looking back at our main activity last summer, Podolski’s deal was ...
Higuain, Higuain, gone? 25 Jul 2013 | 05:27 pm
Higuain – long-time target, deadly striker, Real Madrid. Looks like he’s gone to Napoli. Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh Suarez – huge bid, deadly striker, more baggage than Imelda Marcos. Risky. Divisive. Aa...
Prices are rising with the mercury 18 Jul 2013 | 02:28 pm
A couple of tweets yesterday, from Rory Smith of The Times, which I found interesting. Two thoughts before bed. It's no coincidence Liverpool want £40m for Suarez and Real now want the same for Higua...

Newcastle 0-1 Arsenal One-nil to the Arsenal, and the relief is palpable. It was desperately close and not remotely good for the constitution, but we dragged ourselves over the line to fourth and into...
No big sales. Let’s start with that. 18 May 2013 | 02:06 am
We have arrived at the breathless finale, and it could go anywhere. Same as last year, then. The Wigan game was no doubt fantastic for the neutral – ebbing and flowing like the tides – but it was hard...
Four, five? Senses working overtime 6 May 2013 | 12:39 pm
