The Premiership just got a little more obscene
My initial reaction to the Man City takeover yesterday was simply ‘oh, another one’. The new owner, Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, was making the same noises as so many of his predecessors. ‘We’ll break the top four, we’ll win the Champions League, we’ll be the biggest club in the world’.
Of course, we’ve heard this before. Peter [...]

I thought [...]

Wenger - The Antithesis Of Evil As Yet Another One Bites The Dust
September 1, 2008 was a black day for football. I’m currently lacking the words needed to describe how I feel and what I think about this indignity. Someone needs to say it but noone seems to step up. Is there a worldwide lack of civil courage? How is this not a cause for deep, deep [...]

Everyone owes someone something.......
I must say that I'm gutted that Le Boss hasn't added to the squad but I'm hardly surprised by it. My old man said at about 6pm last night that Mr Wenger wouldn't sign anyone and although I kinda believed him I still had that hope that something would happen.Hope is the main word here.
