Arsenal 0 – 1 Manchester City Morning all, Well, that’s that then. Our relationship with the Carling Cup is a funny one. It meant not much at all to us for the duration of last season, then we got to the final, and have been carrying the scars of ten seconds of mental FROM that [...]
Right, well, let’s get all the boring bits out of the way first: 1. Congratulations to Birmingham City. Well played. 2. I love Jack Wilshere more than I love having the ability to blink. 3. It f***ing pissed it down. 4. Wembley Stadium is a hole. 5. I really do get over things surprisingly quickly. [...]
Quick one today as we’re on our wayyyyy, we’re on our wayyyyy, we’re going to Wembley, we’re on our wayyyyy… etc, etc, repeat to fade. Went out for breakfast this morning and encountered a 2-year-old Gooner in his Arsenal shirt who kept coming up to our table going “Come on Arsenal!” Then a couple of [...]
In a final at last. At Wembley. The place we’re obviously also going to be winning two of our other three trophies in the coming months. Right? Well, it was a nervy first half, with the knowledge that Ipswich didn’t need to score and that we really, really did. They kept having a go though, particularly with the [...]

Two beautiful goals, one really really cack goal and one with a little bit of controversy made for an interesting evening to say the least. In spite of being [...]
Tottenham Hotspur 1 – 4 Arsenal Let’s take a minute to appreciate my incredible headline-writing powers right here. When I was at my journalism college, I was told you’re either a great headline writer or you’re not. I was then told “Sian, you’re not”. Anyway. Basically, the only thing missing from last night’s win at White [...]
*Title nicked from a t-shirt I saw emblazoned with “Daddy, who were The Clash?” Don’t know if it’s a brand or a really famous song/band/cult, as much music knowledge is pretty much zero. Soz.
