We’re out of the Cup. Time to get over it.

If you were realistic before going into this game, you knew that there was pretty much only one likely result yesterday, and it wasn’t in favour of Arsenal.
Arsenal succumed to a physically imposing Stoke City who sensed a chance for an ‘upset’ and duly took it. Arsenal did not cover themselves in glory at all [...]

The ‘Game in Hand’: Expect lightning bolts, dinosaurs and men in capes.

Merida off? No matter, we’ve got Rosicky!

A quick post to cover one reported departure and a confirmed signing…of sorts.
