Morning Gooners, Arsenal FC are in a crisis! Well, that’s what the newspapers are printing isn’t it? Gone: Cesc Fabregas Ashley Cole, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri, Adebayor and Thierry Henry are just a few players that have departed and don’t they like to remind us? All of course couldn’t get away from North London quick […]

Well, that’s the headlines in the football pages of the Sunday Express! Incoming Spurs manager wants to make a shock move for our young winger/striker, who as we all know, has just one year left on his contract. I think that has about as much truth in it as me telling you all I won […]
