Welcome

Welcome to Tales from the Grove, a new blog all about Arsenal and football. However this won't be the usual sort of Arsenal blog, a regurgitation of news from other sources but will look a little bit deeper at what's going on. This will have special emphasis on stats and reaction to the general bollocks which the media trot out.

I'll also be commenting on general football related stories with particular attention to the failure of our local North London rivals.

Just for the record I'm a season ticket holder, so I get to see the team first hand. Any comment I make will be based on the evidence I see with my own eyes rather than second hand via the media which to be honest often totally perplexes me in the way it reports on games and incidents.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, this is a 2 way thing I want your comments on the things I will be talking about, for the moment it will be a free for all but knowing blogs as I do if the amount of spam and bollocks builds up I might have to turn on some small verification tools, nothing major, but for now we will see how it goes.
