Look at street maps of London and you’ll see an area between the south bank of the River Thames, Thamesmead West and Woolwich Arsenal that has been left completely white. This ’secret’ part of London was the home since 1671 of the Royal Arsenal, Britain’s largest centre for the manufacture of military equipment and [...]

The Emirates Stadium now joins the dozens of other locations around London that have shown up traces of radiation in the ongoing case of the dead Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.

Still gutted about last night’s game between Arsenal and Barcelona in Paris. After we started the better team in the first twenty minutes I really felt Arsenal could do it, but once Lehmann was sentoff you knew it was going to be almost mission impossible against the best team in the world.

I went down to Highbury today, even though I didn’t have a ticket for the match against Wigan, to see the stadium on its last ever game.
Unfortunately the police were out in force to make sure no one without a ticket could get too close the ground.
