The Arsenal Ladies are on track to finish their season on a potential high after two wins, one narrow loss and the appointment of a new manager. Pedro Martinez Losa was named Arsenal first team manager at the end of August and will take up the reins from September 15, 2014. His first match in […]
Welcome To The Arsenal Arms It’s my sixth season of self-enforced exile from my spiritual home at The Emirates and finally I’ve got my lazy arse in gear and joined Arsenal Australia. This also coincided with the official opening of Arsenal Australia’s new Sydney base; ‘The Arsenal Arms’ at the Croydon Park Hotel. And I […]
Oi Gooners! I’m still thinking about the game against Manchester City, I’m still wondering how on Earth we were one down at half time and I’m still asking myself who intervened to ensure we would hold on in those painful final minutes. It was a great match, wasn’t it? Insane pace, unbelievable commitments, awesome pressure […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 3 – The Great Arsenal Conspiracy As tedious as an international break can be, I for one was quite glad of it when it came. Coming hot on the heels of the end of the transfer window, a break such as this goes a long way to reviving our hunger for what […]
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to a much-belated post from me. I’m afraid that progress waits for no man, and in this case progress took the form of an unexpected business trip across the globe.

Dispatches From The Sticks – The mist shroud that had previously hung over the dry stream bed like a ghostly veil parts as a smoke grenade thirty metres away explodes in a fusillade of uncomfortably bright white sparks; utterly searing white sparks and a harrowing grey smoke that almost magically softens into a vivid orange […]
And here we go again! It’s the 2014/2015 season and the team photo is out. If I were to compare, I think it is our second best team in the Arsene Wenger era, the first being the invincibles. If someone showed me that picture two years ago and told me Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez […]
The news – or alleged news, to be more accurate – broke a couple of days after Arsenal’s announcement about Danny Welbeck: Arsène Wenger was not aware of the signing of the English forward on permanent basis. Would you believe it? I don’t. Arsène Wenger, the ultimate deus-ex-machina of the Arsenal Football Club wasn’t informed […]
New boy Danny Welbeck has been a particularly hot topic amongst supporters and neutrals ever since he secured a deadline day move to Arsenal. I’ve encountered a real split in opinion amongst most Gooners which is something I can understand given his unconvincing history however I believe this transfer in particular was superb work from […]
