All set for Stuttgart...

Not entirely sure why I'm going to a pre-season friendly this week other than it's not that far away from Basel and I've never been to Stuttgart. You see you rarely discover anything particularly interesting or useful at pre-season games. It may even be that it it is even less likely with ...

Ins and outs

The pre season friendlies are under way and it started with a whimper. This was typical of this part of the season which is about getting fitness rather than performance or results. Nice to see the kids getting a run out, especially Pacheco up front. Yossi made it worthwhile with this...

End of year review

09:52 PM, Friday, 30 May 2008

How the Swiss watched the CL Final

10:43 PM, Thursday, 22 May 2008

Yesterday evening like many Arsenal fans I wasn't at all bothered too much about watching a contest between two evil entities.

Pool draw blue all

08:53 AM, Tuesday, 29 April 2008

This had the feeling of end of season fare from us, It was another case of giving the B team a run out. Therefore I'm not going to waste too much time posting about it. The few notable points were the comeback, Pennant and Insua. To be 2 goals down with 30 mins to go and to fight back for a...
