Don’t look back in anger!! Or Maybe do!! So there we go again. Not much to say really. It a fit of nostalgia and self-loathing, I googled what other things happened the last time Arsenal were one of the top eight teams in Europe (no trophy for 5th to 8th) and well it’s didn’t […]
Like many Arsenal fans I am absolutely gutted at the state my club is in. However, I do actually feel very sad about what has become of our once outstanding manager. His current situation reminds so much of the demise of another wonderful manager Brian Clough. The pressure and strain told physically and mentally on Cloughie […]
Hello Gooners, how do you feel? Personally speaking, I feel a bit low these days: for the first time since I started supporting the team almost 15 years ago, I feel a strange distance between myself and the team and I’m no longer very excited when the kick-off time approaches. Long seem gone the days […]
Going forward, not looking backwards !!!! March came to pass and here we are again; As usual we are trying our hardest to remove ourselves from the top 4 in the Premier League. With no disrespect to Lincoln, we will meet a top 6 side in the FA Cup semi and probably stuff that up […]
There has been a lot of discussion amongst supporters recently, regarding the proposed ‘Wenger out’ protest, due to take place prior to our home game against Bayern Munich. A protest that has sparked a combination of disapproval, anger and typically, abuse being aimed in the direction of those responsible for organising it and planning to […]
I sometimes do that thing where I take the manager’s comments from the post-match press conference and explain just why all the shortcomings he points out in the team are his fault. Or, rather, I did that thing. I did it when I was still reading what Arsene had to say. Now I don’t. I […]
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted something. I hope you’ll pardon this self-imposed exile from your truly, but, akin to last season’s loss to United, the crushing defeat to Bayern Munich proved one too many for me. I don’t have any idea whether things will go uphill, in fact, I do not […]
So here, Arsenal find ourselves having not played two weeks beginning the ‘annual’ week that defines our season. With three matches in three different competitions in eight days, come March 13th we as supporters will have a good idea what the remainder of the season may hold for us. The reason I have said the […]
Wow! It has been eons since I last published anything here. Eons because once again, they did it again, let millions of souls down that is. I don’t know how but my colleagues here at Gunners town have been incredible. They have been able to find resolve somehow, to talk about this team we love, […]
1995 and today…..some key parallels. 1995 was the last truly “bad” year for Arsenal. Things weren’t good. Maybe it’s being spoilt by Wenger, I don’t know. But good or bad are relative terms. Compared to pre-Graham even, it was in some ways our worst season since the mid-1970s. Namely: We finished 12th place Bar Seaman, […]
