Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Kidding, kidding. It was gut-wrenching, nail-baiting and hair-raising, but we held on in the end. Despite atrocious refereeing, Xhaka’s idiocy and Swansea’a resilience. Each of these three factors could have cost us, indeed I can name a handful of occasions when below-par refereeing, one individual’s mistakes or opposition’s stubborn […]
Howdy. Premier League action finally returns and with it does the actual football. This weekend promises to be very exciting for neutrals, as Chelsea take on Leicester in an early kick-off on Saturday, City face Everton on Sunday and United go to Anfield to try and slow down Klopp’s men. Oh, there’s also the small […]

After yesterday’s hilarious spoof on Walcott retiring from international football we can forget what Theo does or does not do for his country and enjoy what he ca do for Arsenal.

Last season was meant to be our season. At New Year’s Day 2016 we were many pundits’ tip for the Title – partly because we were playing well and partly because other teams were floundering. It didn’t happen and we found ourselves in a fight – successful – for second place. Not to be […]
My Highbury Hero this week is another legend from the 1971 Double team. Arsenal’s famous enforcer Peter Storey; the man who kept Arsenal’s Double dream alive by scoring a last minute penalty, against the World’s number one goalkeeper Gordon Banks. Storey had a reputation as a hatchet man. There is no doubt he was […]
August 15th vs Liverpool and the Arsenal start with the centre back holding the central midfielder’s Coq, we lost the game 4-3 and as usual Twitter goes into meltdown about our season. Forward wind 2 months, following a couple of quality signings and we are unbeaten in 9 and playing some of our best football […]
There is never a shortage of items to write about re Arsenal FC.
