There is something which is annoying me. No, it angers me, like no other issue in football at present. It isn’t the increased wages, the greed of players, the rise in ticket prices, or even Arsenal’s lack of trophies. The increasing use of the word ‘rape’ by football fans and pundits to describe certain events [...]
The Gay Girls Guide To A Seven Day Relationship
When most people enter a relationship. they usually hope for a couple of things; that they’ll be happy, the sex’ll be great, and it will last (both the sex and the relationship). But when you look at the usual running patterns for most lesbian relationships it becomes quite obvious that ties which held couples together [...]
Watching (Erotica)
Just feeling her lips softly brush against your skin was enough to make you wet. You would lie at night, lights off, eyes closed, and rest your hand gently between your spread legs. Touching, lightly at first, your hips would start to move with your fingers as your mind drifted deeper into fantasy. There you [...]
How I found out Santa was dead
Ok, so he’s not dead, as I had pointed out to me, he can’t be dead if he never existed in the first place but you know what I mean. I can’t remember what age I was (ok, I can but I’m not telling cause it is potentially embarrassing), but I remember it was a [...]
New look Gay Girls Guide

It was an idea which never fully formed, only flashing glimpses of what it might be, never strong enough to stop life and women distracting me from exploring it further. I’ve started and stopped more times than I’ve bombed [...]
Why ‘rape’ is not an acceptable footballing term.
There is something which is annoying me. No, it angers me, like no other issue in football at present. It isn’t the increased wages, the greed of players, the rise in ticket prices, or even Arsenal’s lack of trophies. The increasing use of the word ‘rape’ by football fans and pundits to describe certain events [...]
Are we damaging young players?
There is a new buzz-word in football – ‘choking,’ it’s not a new word by any stretch of the imagination, but is one which I have noticed has been used more in recent weeks across a variety of levels (and sports) than it has in the last ten years (by my uninformed reckoning anyway). I [...]
Just who is running football?
We’ve all heard about it this week, Rooney swore down a camera, some people got upset, the papers ran provocative headlines (even though most journalists on Twitter said ban was ridiculous), the FA charged him, and now he will serve a two match ban. The unfortunate thing with this example is that not many people [...]
It’s only ever men who say sexism isn’t a problem in football.
First published on the LadyArse Arsenal blog There is a bit of a feminism alert here so any Neanderthals might be best stopping reading now. Then again, as Rebecca West once said, “I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.” For [...]
