Arsenal fly out to Japan to rebuild under new coach after falling to Liverpool in the Women’s Super League
Now that I am finally settled in to my new life in Spain, I had hoped that my installments of Gunners Fair could be a bit more regular, but with the last game played in the Women’s Super League a few weeks ago, it looks like this is more an end-of-season summary than anything. A […]
Arsenal vs United – Battle or Bottle?
Many now refer to the international break as the ‘interlull’ – wholly down to arseblog – but for me the last week or so has been quite refreshing. Once the hysteria of the loss to Swansea died down then everything just became rather placid and I have a void in my locker, a void that […]
Is Arsenal’s Defence truly that bad or is it the goals for that should cause concern?
Yesterday I was having a chat via Twitter with a fellow Gooner and serial podcaster, known on the internet as @RamblinGooner, about the upcoming winter transfers window and how Arsène Wenger will strengthen our squad.

Arsenal look destined to lose Lukas Podolski following Lee Dixon’s ‘weak’ Arsene Wenger revelation
So what Arsene Wenger angle could I possibly take this week? Well, it’s one that has driven my nuts in recent years and that is the lack of accountability for poor performances. Particularly as a result of our collapses, in particular I’m looking at Newcastle and Anderlecht. So what do I mean by accountability. Well, […]
Arsenal fans, could YOU do a BETTER job than Arsene Wenger? Here are several facts to prove that, no, you couldn’t
I was reading some blogs in the aftermath of both the 3-3 draw against Anderlecht at home and the 1-2 defeat at the Liberty Stadium – it was quite depressing, I must say. I agree issues seem blatant and it appears they haven’t been addressed for some time; I agree that mistakes look often the […]
Bad news for Arsenal, as Liverpool and Manchester United cast their eye to Arsene Wenger’s defensive targets
The art of defending, where has it all gone? The marvelous defensive players of the past were once the backbone of their teams, bringing protection and stability throughout. But what has gone wrong since then? Football is leaning towards an attacking style of play, relying on strong midfielders, pacey wingers and lethal strikers. What about […]
Arsenal fans create new song following Arsene Wenger’s latest challenging comments
“A Little Less Conversation” Following Anderlecht, Arsene Wenger said; “We had bad luck because the first goal is offside, we had bad concentration because we thought the job was done, we had fatigue and didn’t win the challenges anymore.” Following Swansea, Wenger said; “It was a game where we were in control and at 1-0 up I […]
