9th August Update: Hi everyone..So excited . New season/new site…It’s been 16 years but finally we have a new site. Thanks to Christian Wach who has created it all and in the process saved all your poems from our antiquated and crumbling old site which first appered in June 2000 for the Euros . We are almost there and you’ll be able to register/create an account/log in/add images/comment on anything from a word to a verse to a poem…in a few more days..stay tuned.
From its inception to now. Look around and explore. We are here to help you through any teething stuff. Anything confusing or not obvious just contact us on the contact form.

I think this is best thing I have read so far about the legend. Thanks
One of the greats, inspired my generation of school kids in the 80s
Hi Crispin,
Thanks for the featured poem for the Arsenal Premier League victory. I love that photo showing the Arsenal ladies and fans in full rattle and rosette mode. I’ve seen it before quite a few times and, I think, a bit iconic. I think it was before the Gunners victory against Liverpool in the 1950 FA Cup Final. Great photograph.
Thanks
Joe
Thanks for that Joe. Yes it’s been some season we had a blip but came out of it and finished strong. A mate of mine supports West Ham here in Coventry and my next door neighbour is a Spurs supporter, and both are getting edgy ! I like the Championship though as it’s competitive and has some good teams, players, and fans. Anyway we are back in the top flight and who knows what will happen ?
Cheers. Kev.
