Well the win over Sunderland was predictable, well, if it wasn’t Arsenal, enjoyable, if it wasn’t Arsenal and thought provoking as Arsenal performances always are. Even the apparently most routine victory, after a first half of taking a deserved lead, following after and preceding total dominance, gave the Arsenal supporters the obligatory period of concern […]
Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer. Things had started well, with Granit Xhaka’s acquisition from Borussia Monchengladbach in May an encouraging start, but the weeks of inactivity that followed seemed to indicate at best a gross incompetence with regards to transfer dealings, and at worst a […]
When Duncan Watmore went down inside our box I sank in my chair. It looked all set up to become one of those days. Good pressure and slick passing, a goal to show for our trouble, loads of chances created, then one mistake puts paid to everything good. Usually it’s also the first shot on […]

Image courtesy of ‘You are my Arsenal’ It’s Sunderland away and I remember how hard it has been for us to beat the Black Cats either home or away for the last two seasons, no matter who was in charge. There was that 2-0 away with a brace from Alexis after Mannone spilled his beans […]
Arsene is sitting in his office after a hard day’s training, which is getting easier these days as he doesn’t have to keep calling the doctors to deal with Jack, when his phone rings. “Hi Arsene, God here. How are things?” “Not too bad, son. Long time no hear!!” “Yeah, sorry – been a bit […]
My interest in football articles and in particular those associated with Arsenal was drawn to a number of articles in which the common subjects appeared to be praise for Wenger for the performance of the current team and severe criticism for the ineptitude of Man Utd`s recent managers. Kroenke in particular remarked on the difficulty […]
Almost 4 years ago Arsenal went to Reading at the same stage of the League Cup. It was one of the most amazing nights of Cup football that ended in The Gunners overcoming a 4 goal deficit to win 7-5 AET. One of the founding members of Gunners Town, Anna Lvova, was inspired the folloing […]
This week’s Highbury Hero takes us back to January 1999, when Arsene Wenger signed a 6 foot 5 inch Nigerian who looked more like a basketball player than a footballer. If he had have been a basketball player it would be easy to imagine him being one of the Harlem Globetrotters, as Kanu was such […]
So, our winning streak came to an end yesterday. While it was obvious this would happen at some point, and I fully realize we don’t get to pick and choose, dropping points at home to a team 17th in the table is hardly ideal. In the preview I talked a bit about how important it […]
