Arsene Wenger's Coat: In Bed With Maradona
http://arsenewengerscoat.blogspot.com/2012/11/in-bed-with-maradona.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. In Bed With Maradona. There's something special about winning a competition. A childlike euphoria takes control of your body resulting in a short period of time running insanely around in circles with your arms waving madly in the air. When the prize is something you actually wanted in the first place the power to control your speech goes as well, the words come out as gibberish while the volume intolerable. When the wonderful folk at Ockley Books. In Bed With Maradona. The qu...

Arsene Wenger's Coat: Don't let Uncle Mark get drunk
http://arsenewengerscoat.blogspot.com/2012/10/dont-let-uncle-mark-get-drunk.html
Sunday, October 28, 2012. Don't let Uncle Mark get drunk. Welcome to Arsene Wenger's Coat, a safe haven from all that's fashionable in football today. You may be familiar with my Charlton ramblings at God, Charlton and Punk Rock. You may even have read nostalgic articles i wrote for both The Football Attic. And The Two Unfortunates. Recent posts at The Football Attic have centered around the topic of kit design, classic iconic shirts that still evoke golden memories. But what of today's offerings? He eve...

Arsene Wenger's Coat: Sorry, but we're going to have to let you go.
http://arsenewengerscoat.blogspot.com/2013/01/sorry-but-were-going-to-have-to-let-you.html
Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Sorry, but we're going to have to let you go. These are words that fill us all with dread. With the country seemingly still in this recession despite reports to the contrary on News at Ten, the thought of losing your job strikes a fear I can only surmise is seconded to a terminal medical diagnosis. Last Saturday Appleton lost his first game in charge of Blackburn against Charlton Athletic to a ring of boos from the Rovers supporters. That doesn't bode well, the placards c...

Arsene Wenger's Coat: March 2013
http://arsenewengerscoat.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. Dressing and messing at the match and more proclaims the cover. Once you start reading you realise there is more, a lot more. Northern Monkeys isn't just a book on football hooliganism, heaven knows there are more than enough of those already filling bookshelves, nor is it a book on football culture alone, it's more of a history on youth culture, growing up with an identity defined by circumstance, clothes and music as much as football itself.

Arsene Wenger's Coat: November 2012
http://arsenewengerscoat.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Breakaway used to be known as a biscuit, not a league. Life at the higher echelons of the game is, as one would expect, far more glamorous. Is it so glamorous though that all identity and history becomes insignificant? I'd like to think the Welsh along with the Faroe Islands and Iceland would get to double their entries to two. Liverpool are not only finding victories hard to come by, it would seem shirt sales are hard to materialize too. As a footnote whilst on the subject o...

Arsene Wenger's Coat: Who's wearing what?
http://arsenewengerscoat.blogspot.com/2012/11/whos-wearing-what.html
Thursday, November 8, 2012. A couple of evenings ago i got my first opportunity to see for myself the all new re-branded Cardiff City. Not that you'd have known they were re branded other than for a small scattering of red shirts amongst the away support. In their change strip of all blue they looked like the Cardiff we've always known, even their imploding on the pitch was familiar. I realise this isn't a particularly new phenomenon, Peter Shirtliff famously scored a brace wearing all blue for Charlton ...
