Which Premier League Team – Russian Translation

When Sovsport magazine turned up on my Twitter feed wanting to publish my ‘Which Premier League Team Should You Support?’ graphic, they needed a bit of explanation on the reasons why I’d presented certain choices. Non-Russian speakers will note the pictures they’ve helpfully provided down the right hand side, of curly-haired Scousers, Delia Smith, a…

Media Bias Against Arsenal

Some Arsenal fans seem to think there is media bias against Arsenal; some almost make a living out of claiming that the whole world is biased against Arsenal (I won’t name anyone). Some are claiming that the injury Mikel Arteta received in a clash with Jordan Henderson last Saturday was deliberate, but that this is…

Do You Suffer From Twitching?

Look what I spotted in the paper today. I must say they really make an effort to target these ads at a specific market these days! It must be the effect of social media advertising creeping into the mainstream. If you know anyone who could benefit, please pass it on. (As usual, click to enlarge)…

AKB / WOB / WTF?

Usmanov given stately home

According to this report in The Times recently, Alisher Usmanov was allegedly given the Sutton Place estate in Surrey as part of a deal with fellow oligarch Boris Berezovsky. Mr Usmanov denies this. I get chased by debt collectors for not paying £70 membership for a gym I’d left, and oligarchs argue about who gave…

Piers Morgan: No Thanks

I don’t like Piers Morgan. I don’t know anyone who does like Piers Morgan. The likes of Gary Lineker and Michael Owen have had a go at him in just the last couple of days on Twitter, when he attempts some matey banter with them, but for some reason Arsenal players seem to think he’s…
