The Beautiful Groan

One year ago today this site was born, at the point when Arsenal were crashing out of every competition in the most disappointing season in years. Who would’ve thought one year on that the same club would be top of the league, defying the many doubters?

I’ve taken a look back at some of the stuff I’ve written and many of it, while seeming right at the time, turned out to be anything but. Who thought Flamini would not only stay but shine? Who thought Gallas would eventually win us over? Who thought Aliadiere would leave? Oh, okay, I got that one.

Anyway, Groan is getting a very nice first birthday present, and that is a brand spanking new site, which is very close to completion and will be up in the next couple of days - I’ll point you in the direction of the site and its feeds once it’s ready.

I’d like to thank you (yes, all two of you) for reading, and hope you’ll join me in the second chapter which begins next week. Until then, I’m off to the slightly more advanced 30th birthday of my brother. Groan has a long way to go.

Here’s to year two. Thanks for reading.
