Ahoy hoy there Gooners. After Wednesday’s capers, I trust all of your backsides have returned to what passes as normal and the prospect of scraps against a not-as-formidable-as-they-once-were Borussia Dortmund, the less than worrying Belgian side Anderlecht and Turkish fear-mongers Galatasaray, makes the tension against Besiktas now seem worthwhile. For me, Marco Reus, Steven Defour […]
Transfer revisionism doesn’t help until the transfers are done Good morning my lovelies, and welcome back. What a difference the space of a week can make. We’ve gone from “The team is horrible”, “The play is labored”, “How can Arsene Wenger not see what’s so patently obvious” and “I’m a grumpy lout” to “Ah, THAT’s […]
What Did Wednesday Night Teach Us? Wednesday night was a great buzz if you were around Highbury and Islington during, it was a great night out for me personally I must say. We’ve finally been able to witness our most fluent display and it came at the expense of a racing heart. We were an […]
The UEFA Champions League group stage draw is here, and the last time the name “Arsenal FC” wasn’t in the draw was way back in the 1996/1997 season. It is definitely a remarkable achievement by Arsenal Football Club and Arsene Wenger, who showed consistency and stability throughout. With that being said, Arsenal are in […]
There hasn’t been as much action on the WSL front over the past few weeks with the break for international fixtures, but we are back in the thick of things again. In the match right after my last Gunners Fair post back in July, Arsenal posted a frustrating 1-1 draw versus Notts County, conceding a […]
OH MY! Olivier Giroud is out for three months, we are doomed! Let’s ignore the fact that a large chunk of Arsenal supporters called him with some adorable names since the beginning of the season, asking Arsène Wenger to buy any kind of striker to replace that useless guy (I’m being very polite here), and […]
Wrighty and Merse: Who wins in battle of the gaffes? There are a lot of ex-Gunners currently doing the rounds as football pundits and commentators. On ITV, Lee Dixon makes regular appearances while Sky have Alan Smith and Soccer Saturday regular Paul Merson to call upon. We all know that ex-pros are prone to making […]
The Power of Three So, it’s Tuesday 26th August and the bloody annoying transfer window finally shuts at 11pm on 1st September. I have come to the conclusion that, who, if and when we sign someone, it could be out of Arsenal’s control and in the unlikely hands of the following three individuals: 1 – Slaven […]
How Convincing Are We As Title Challengers? Ever since May we’ve been on a real high and as we extend our unbeaten run to 11 games. Since the Community Shield game we have looked fairly sluggish in our play of late however we’re refusing to lose which is a new mental dimension that is welcome to […]
Forget the off season and the World Cup, ignore the long summer break. The season isn’t just starting but nearing its business end. For now, that’s the mentality Arsenal need to possess. A mentality that makes us believe the 2013/2014 campaign is only just drawing to a close. That should give us the momentum we […]
