Hello again, loyal readers. After some all night bartering, with negotiations reaching a delicious climax as the summer sun slowly submerged ‘neath the horizon with a shimmering ‘adieu’, I was re-signed for Gunners Town for the princely sum of a packet of ‘Nice ‘n’ Spicy’ Nik-Naks and a barely touched can of Tizer. My next few […]

A Welcome Ode to Petr Cech – Gunner’s joy is Chelsea’s pain
A short poem about ARSENAL’s Petr Cech With facts like this you earn instant respect Will try my best to ensure it rhymes For a man who’s been capped 114 times To find a man capped more is more than tricky 14 more than his buddy Tomas Rosicky His bro Mozart said Petr, stop bench […]
Young Guns (Go For It) Part II – The Next Generation
Following on from last week’s review of the ‘more established’ young guns, this week I thought I’d look at the chances of the ‘next generation’ on the outskirts of the match day squad and assess their chances of making the grade. Krystian Bielik: The young Pole was signed in January 2015 from Legia Warsaw for the obligatory […]

No to Madrid on Koscielny without player exchange and Arsenal reaping benefits of investing in a ‘Home Grown’ policy.
This week has been a very interesting one as far as non-playing weeks go. We’ve signed another promising youngster who may or may not turn out to be special. I really feel that we’re going to see an awful lot more of this sort of thing from other clubs now that the ‘home grown’ quota […]

Arsene Wenger Leaving Arsenal Football Club Part 1
This post is a little premature; but, the combination of my disinclination towards transfer rumors, trying to get into the mind of Arsene Wenger to offer opinion on squad requirements, and the close season, I thought I’d address an event that is inevitable: Arsene Wenger leaving Arsenal Football Club.

Who will be next season’s surprise Superstar? 2013/14 Ramsey, 2014/15 Coquelin, 2015/16 ???

I then got further angst when the Arsenal twitterverse jumped on the #playOzil@10 bandwagon. I was finally forced to the power […]
