Emirates finally beginning to feela bit like home

IT was great for us Gooners to return to some more traditional footballing fare Sunday lunchtime.

This started with a tasty morsel from the Madejski, where the Tottenham we all know and despise raised their supporters hopes by taking a 1-0 lead, before surrendering to Reading, in a manner which is likely to leave their bemused manager even more follicly challenged.

This was promptly followed by a main course with all the trimmings, where the Arsenal finally ditched the new stadium monkey from around our necks. It started life as a mere bothersome Emirates marmoset, but it wouldn’t have been long before Gooner backs were beginning to buckle under the weight of a problematic primate that was rapidly growing into a gorilla.
