Still in a state of shock after all three of the footie teams in my life won this weekend – a season first! Arsenal were back on form – although still worryingly dependent on the historically fragile Robin van Persie – with a 1-2 victory over plucky Norwich on Saturday.

Mind you, we seem to have swapped an apparently venal adulterer from an allegedly [...]
