Another nightmare evening in the Champions League for English football brought with it another controversial red card decision, as Arsenal stopper, Wojciech Szczesny, saw red for a challenge on Arjen Robben in the closing stages of the first half while Bayern scalped a 2-0 victory at the Emirates. The resultant spot-kick, taken by David Alaba, […]
The week’s passed by and we are just hours away from our next Champions League knockout phase. It’s been a long time since we haven’t reached the next round of the Champions League. Before a match against the current cup holders it’s time to take that into account and get praised for it. I know we won’t as we are […]
Arsene Wenger: A Successful Failure? Josie Mourinho came back to the Premier League claiming he’d turned a new leaf. A more humane, more palatable version than the one that graced us with his presence 10 years ago. But true to form, when the going gets tough, the mouth gets going. In November 2005, Josie stepped […]
Week Twenty Seven – Post Apocalyptic Shit Sandwiches and the Real World Did you miss me? I took a week off from writing last week, as I was too busy to do so, and it turned out to be not such a bad thing in the end. As you know I try to be as positive […]
Afternoon Gooners. As you may remember, last week I talked about Sod’s law and how Arsenal had the opportunity and ability to take charge in their forthcoming crunch matches and throw Sod’s law back into their rivals’ faces. And what did we get?! Utter humiliation against Liverpool. Now, I watched Liverpool tear into their high-flying […]

Fear of enjoying the experience of playing football took over two professional teams and reminded us that the stakes are really high in the Premier […]
It’s a question that has caused so many debates amongst Arsenal fans and this question more than any statistic drives our narrative to the non Arsenal world…. Can Arsenal win the “big” games? What does that mean. To me it means going to the North West and Chelsea away from home and winning. It’s about […]
Have the Arsenal had their Achilles heal exposed & severed. For all the flair, guile & ability, has the soft underbelly been flipped over & left in the sun to be pecked at by the big team vultures. Again, we get on the plane to the North West, to a top 6 contender & boom […]
“Anything that can go wrong, will.” Afternoon Gooners. Yes, Sod’s law. Thursday served me up a steaming dish of it, with a side order of utter bollocks and a dessert heaped with sprinklings of f**k you. Long story short; one pick-up of old sofa arranged, to be followed by a drop-off of a new sofa. […]
