The obvious headline which popped into my head as the final seconds of the game ticked away was
"I was there, I was there, I was there".
By the time we got back to the car the radio was full of people saying, "those who were there
could say 'I was there'." [...]

According to reports Tom Adeyemi who plays for Oldham, on loan from Norwich City, was racially
abused by one or more Liverpool fans at the Anfield ground last night. He gave a statement to
Merseyside Police in which it is understood he claimed to have been racially abused twice by a
supporter.

I will make this quick. As I have mentioned in passing before, I live in the Midlands, and have
a season ticket in the North Bank, so going to Arsenal is something of a day trip for me.
I am just back, and need to change for the evening's celebrations with the [...]

PKF is a firm of accountants engaged by Tottenham Hotspur, a club which until 1965 was part of
the county of Middlesex. In that year it moved (along with the rest of the county) into London.
They (PKF) have been asked to look further into issues of Olympic Stadium stuff.

Imagine you are taken to the roof of a tower block and invited to jump off. More than like you
will say, "well actually no, if you don't mind, I won't." Or words to that effect.

I have the view that having started this blog a few years ago, and now having a fair old number
of readers each day, I have a duty to try and keep the thing running, while living up to the
original notions behind the blog: that it should be pro-Arsenal at all [...]
By Tony Attwood . In football there is a bit of a rule that says that you can lose money and win
things, and that's fine. But to lose money and not win things that is called "doing an Everton". .
Of course the world has got more complex now that Manchester City and [...]

It seems it doesn't matter how many examples of media nonsense is printed about football, some
people go on believing the press. Each day if you look on any of the news accumulator sites you

In early August 2010, I was privileged to get a meeting with Ivan Gazidis the chief executive of

Manchester City added another honour to their trophy cabinet last night by securing the most
expensive shot in the history of football. Their squad last night cost (including this season's
salaries) something in the region of £200m, and managed one shot on target an all time record.

Manchester: gateway to hell where the roads are slippery with oil, and the downward path leads
inexorably to Hades, or Liverpool as it is known in popular culture.
Manchester City will have quite possibly Samir Nasri playing. While Mr Nasri doesn't seem to
have had it quite the same as Flamini did [.

It was the thing that nightmares are made of to lose two of our most prestigious records in one
season: the "49″, and being unbeaten in the league through a whole season.
Now only one fear remains that Man City will spend another £100m in the [.

We've talked a lot off and on about the Olympic stadium a stadium which by the EPL's own rules
can only go to The Orient, since they are the local team (and before you ask, no, such rules did
not exist when Woolwich Arsenal moved from Plumstead to Highbury).
But Tottenham, [.

Goals are on the up more are scored in the Premier League than in the top leagues in Germany,
Spain and Italy. Good for us. Except when we lose 8-2 of course.

more for players of [.

Thus we are progressing nicely through our 14th consecutive year in the Champions League. 14
years of ending in the top 4 in English football in order to qualify something that has never
previously been even remotely approached in our 125 years history. The nearest we got before this
run was [.

It is one hell of a relief to return to football in the middle of what seems to have turned into
a full scale cyber war.

Anyway, as much as I have been able to focus on football, here's what's going on.

If you have been following events you will know that last Friday we came under attack in fact
all the sites operated by Hamilton House went down as a result.
We have managed to get most of the sites back up and running, but this site and Arsenal History
have proved to be at the heart of the problem.
