You Guest It I’ve wanted to write a blog for a long time now, but where do you start? Arsenal, more so than any other club, it seems, already has hundreds of regular bloggers, covering everything from transfer rumours, to tactics and individual players. But there is one key issue that I feel needs addressing, […]

Gooner First, Woman Second and she bows to no Man!
Gunners Fair Never really thought about this before; I’ve been in football, an Arsenal fan, for over 40 years never really thought about being a woman in football, I’ve always just seen myself as an Arsenal fan. It dawned on me that perhaps I should write about this as I’ve read two passionate blogs recently […]
Arsenal miss out on German target but linked with Dortmund trio while Bendtner exit in doubt
Doppelpass Back for another edition of Doppelpass this week. The transfer market seems to be gathering pace and we are in for a certain Gonzalo Higuain and are quite active in general. We just lack an official confirmation on the official Arsenal site. So nothing to worry about! So what’s been on in Germany this week? It’s […]
Arsenal Summer Transfers: The Inside View
Anti Social-Media Behaviour Poxy Irish Summer 2013. I wrote last week’s piece sitting on a bean bag in the garden, sweating like a paedophile in a Barney suit, nothing on but the sauce that had dripped from my badly burned BBQ burger, with a bottle of beer in hand (ah it was great while it […]
Does modern football led by UEFA reward mediocrity and failure?
Far Side View Being laid up on a hospital bed for the last week and sky high on morphine, my blog this week will be short and sweet and is a revisit to an old topic I discussed on my own site a few months ago. Are UEFA breeding a generation of footballers who believe […]
New Transfer Window TV Special Announced; I’m an ITK, Get Me Out Of Here!
Pre-Season Diary So, welcome to week two of the silly season diaries. After getting caught up a bit in the excitement/madness myself for a couple of weeks or so, I’m now feeling rather detached from the whole transfer speculation shenanigans. It feels like I’m having some kind of out of body experience when on Twitter […]
Where are they now? The Search for Forgotten Gooners – Week 7: Alex Manninger
Where Are They Now? As it comes to the seventh edition of the Search for the Forgotten Gooners, I’ve been forced to really scratch my brain to rediscover certain misfits, or flashes in the pan whom have since seemingly been removed from the face of the Arsenalsphere. I’ve brought a variety of talents back under […]
Wenger the Alchemist, close to finally blending his player ingredients for the recipe of success in 2014
Mr. T’s Nuts The past eight years have been trophyless. We know that, and the media have forced it down our throats for so long that it seems to be all Gooners can think about these days! For me though, it hasn’t been quite that simple. Personally I’ve archived the memories of the past eight […]
You may be a great player but have you won the Premier League like my Grandpa?
66 Kicks So just a bit of light hearted fun for a Sunday afternoon. I hope it will help take you mind as of whether you will be able to bring yourself to cheer a man in red and white with animal fur squashed on his head. In short whether Wayne Rooney, Cesc Fabregas or […]
Arsène the ‘Humble One’ v José the ‘Happy One’
What’s The Score?! Welcome to another week of “What’s the score?!” – Heinz Tomato Ketchup (the sauce!) has been working overtime this last week with further rumours of who Arsenal are going to sign. From a quick recollection of names mentioned, apparently there are two goalkeepers one CB, two or three DMs, and a couple […]
