Difficult times for Arsenal, for Arsenal fans, for Wenger. Another bad performance and a pulverising result has focused attention on our failings. Wenger looked crushed and crumpled after the game. We all slept badly and woke up on Thursday morning with pain as we quickly recalled the scale of the defeat. And it came on […]

Arsene Wenger needs to go – but who should he take with him?
Hi folks. It’s been a while again since I posted. Having watched Arsenal’s recent spate of poor performances ruining yet another promising campaign (except the Bayern match – that one was always going to be a pummeling for Arsenal), here’s a few things I’d like to see changed next season. The Manager I know […]

The Greatest Finisher Highbury ever saw was Wrighty not Henry
The time machine is taking another trip down memory lane and going back to the 1990’s for this week’s Highbury Hero. A massive Highbury favourite, who was one of the most popular players ever to play for The Arsenal. A phenomenal striker so passionate about the game who played his football on the edge. The […]
Wenger’s FA Cup Journey – Loved, disrespected, needed, loved again and now ‘Last Hope for Glory’
It is a strange time to be an Arsenal supporter and the emotion or feeling that sadly most adequately describes my state of mind is ‘resigned’. It seems highly likely that come the summer now we will find ourselves entering a new era with a new manager for the first full season in 21 years. […]
Arsenal have become only Champions League Background Noise – There to make up the numbers in last 16 Draw
After yet another defeat like this one, it is difficult to write a measured and well thought piece without it simply sounding like a rant. In the immediate aftermath of such a loss, emotions are often heightened and a cooling off period is required whereby what is then written can at least be considered constructive. […]
Are Arsenal like the Titanic? Blindly trusting the Architect and The captain (Wenger) before Sinking
Amidst the wreckage and the rubble of last night and the miles of prose this morning on social media, I would like to ask a question of all AKB fanatics. I apologise in advance here if I am offending any reasonable person who supports Arsene and does not consider himself a fanatic. Do you think […]
Nobody on the Arsenal Board has made a Footballing Decision without Wenger – Can we Trust them to do it now?
Chelsea 3-1, Bayern Munich 5-1. As an Arsenal fan, I hate February! How crazy is it to be an Arsenal fan, especially after 2006? You get stick from everyone around you, some people who don’t even know Arsene Wenger come up and tell you “Wenger out” because of some idiot like Adrian Durham. To be […]
Arsene – How can a team you have NOT Mentally Prepared Mentally Collapse? Enough is Enough!
Bayern 5-1 Arsenal. Enough is Enough, Time To Go. June, 2013. Ivan Gazidis: “In a couple of years, We WILL be able to compete at a level like a club such as Bayern Munich.” November 2015. Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal. February 2017. Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal. How much longer are people going to sit there […]
Without Wenger Arsenal Inc. will no longer be a ‘Football’ Club
(Editor’s Note: This post was written before the 5-1 loss to FC Bayern in the Champions League last night) Arsène Wenger’s reign is coming to an end, his departure in the summer looking increasingly realistic, and speculations suggest he won’t “move upstairs” but simply leave the Club and either retire or continue his career […]
