The last couple of days or so has seen a meltdown of almost catastrophic proportions across the Arsenal fan base due to the injury of our seemingly only capable midfield enforcer Francis Coquelin. The knee injury sustained by our ‘police officer’ has many believing that our title challenge could suffer greatly as a consequence, although […]
It’s been a weekend for the prophecies people. Every nut with a bet on Coquelin’s ligaments suddenly thinks he is better than everybody at the club and the naysayers are out in force, saying it is the end of our season. The Champions League provides a much needed exit route from all the ‘end of […]
This game can be summed up with a phrase “it was one of those games”. Everything went against us. We’ve made some uncharacteristic individual errors, were not helped in the slightest by Clattenburg and, basically, looked doomed to lose the game especially after missing the penalty. I’m not inclined to blame the manager for this […]
The above became an iconic image as Francis Coqulin truly announced himself back on the Arsenal scene playing an integral part in the team’s 2-0 triumph away at City in the Spring. From his return from a short loan at Charlton, Le Coq and Arsenal have not looked back as he played his part in […]
The Arsenal of the past 9 seasons reared its ugly head on Saturday. We dominated the game with 72% possession , 592 completed passes, 11 shots and a 2-1 defeat.

A situation all-too-familiar for Arsenal […]
So, after a two-week international borefest (made worse tenfold by the events in Paris), the real football is back. The players are returning, none of ours seem to do so in pieces and the next break is four months away. Four months of uninterrupted football at club level. The weekend will kick off with Watford […]
I’ve always found it funny how people take football pundits seriously when they know that their main job is being on television. Mainly because being on television means you have to be either crazy as shit and able to make a spectacle or make a proper sensible analysis all the time. The latter is of […]
