Come with us for a wander thought the over-grown weed-infested garden of football news as we take a set of shine secateurs to the very best back-page stories of the week. This week we look at the Joe Hart “situation”, realise that some of the worlds' greatest song writers are standing on the terraces in Manchester and decide that we should really make excuses if we’re ever invited around to Arsene Wenger’s house for Christmas. Plus… the reason that YOU should be preparing for an alien invasion!
