Crouching Peter, Forbidden Talent
For many a tortured soul, Peter Crouch’s exit from Tottenham was as good as a new signing. A two-season career which peaked in Manchester on that famous evening- briefly spiking into the green with a Young Boys beating hat-trick and the heroics in Lombardy- withered somewhat terminally in its final months.

Six out of Seven
What a weekend of football. It felt like the universe wanted to atone for our recent heartaches. Only if Tottenham had gotten the memo, it would have been perfect. Wenger decided to start without Rosicky, Arshavin and more notably RvP. It almost backfi…

Arsenal 3-1 Stoke: "Gervinho, He’s Got A Massive Head Y’Know… Give Him The Ball He’ll Score A Goal"
What. A. Day. That game was just what the doctor ordered. The doctor in this case being Crippen, and the patient being Stoke’s team of lurching shitkickers. Being a panicker by trade, I rarely have a good feeling before games, especially against tha…
