Winter is coming… There’s a bizarre feeling rippling out of its epicentre of N5 at the moment; “We’ve got our Arsenal back!” The above was sang in unison and gusto during the 5-1 win on the banks of the Thames last weekend. It might have upset some of the armchair followers of Arsenal who are […]
“We have our Arsenal back!!!” I think most heard the chant “We have our Arsenal back!!” at the Fulham game. Surely those who attended and those watching on TV, caught earshot. My thoughts were it was premature. Yes, I can empathise with why they said it. But in my view, we only will have […]
