We’re not allowed to lose one single game, are we? In the exact moment Kevin Friend blew his whistle to sanction a very surprising and unwelcome home defeat against Swansea, the Arsenal world started to crumble. I’m not saying our defeat didn’t really bother me, I reassure you: I am such a sore loser and […]

Arsenal 0 Swansea 1 – Sadly ‘Good Old Arsenal!!!’
“As Valencia’s deflected shot found the bottom corner I stared at the screen in disbelief. The sense of unreality swept over me. For a good while longer than a few seconds I’ve been (fruitlessly) trying to persuade myself that this wasn’t happening. This could not be happening. Simply because everything about this goal was so […]
Arsenal’s British core – an endangered species, fighting for survival…
by Liam Twomey No one would blame Arséne Wenger for picking the same starting XI that destroyed Hull City in thrilling style a week ago when Swansea City visit the Emirates Stadium on Monday night. Arsenal are the Premier League’s form side, unbeaten in 10 games since losing to Tottenham in early February as they […]
When you consider who could replace Wenger you may decide Arsene is still the best man for the job
Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]
‘Good Old Arsenal’ to be the UK Number 1 on the 30th May – Click here
Many years ago I wrote a blog on my own site 1ND2OU that charted the highs and lows of my Arsenal supporting life based on the UK Hit Parade. Basically a bit of fun really but fascinating, well for me at least. A couple of things got me thinking about it again this week. My […]
Bellerin for the Win-g? – Can Hector be our future Right Wing Solution?
Though there seem to be other pressing concerns at the moment like Who should play in midfield? Who do we need to sign in the summer? We need to beat Swansea on Monday. And of course the endless goalkeeper debate for the cup final. Thought I’d take a break from those and address a suggestion […]

Alexis, Monreal, Coquelin – The Bermuda Triangle where opposition attacks disappear!
Hull Hull had a very specific plan in place for us. It was a good plan, and it had worked against Liverpool, but we are (by some distance) a better side than Liverpool, and where the strengths of the plan paid off against Rogers side it’s weaknesses were mercilessly exploited by us. Another problem that Steve […]

The new Resilient Arsenal have progressed in 14/15 – Wenger has retained flair but learned to win ugly and not lose!
This season so far has seemed like a big step forward for this Arsenal squad, despite only being three points better off than at this stage last season. Of course there has still been some worrying results; the Monaco, Tottenham and Southampton performances spring to mind as well as the home defeat to Manchester United […]
