All aboard the time machine we’re going back to the early 1990’s for the latest instalment of Highbury Heroes. A natural comedian off the pitch, but don’t be fooled by that, because on the pitch he worked as hard as anyone, a winner who gave his all for Arsenal Football Club. It’s only Ray Parlour, […]
Arsenal vs. Stoke City preview Premier League – 1st April 2018 Easter Sunday, (H) Stoke is a kind of weird club for us. The Aaron Ramsey thing is naturally big. As is, from their standpoint “Let’s all do the Wenger!!” I don’t dislike nor detest many clubs. The Edmonton-adjacent lillywhites feature here, as do […]
I guess it shouldn’t have been a surprise really. Even from an early age, my eyes were focused on midfield flair and technicality. The ability to dictate a game without scoring fascinated me. Very much a product of the “Fifa Generation,” the likes of Nedved, Deco, Zidane, Ronaldinho, and Figo became my favorites. Mercurial talents […]
“He is able to play as a central or box to box midfielder but is usually deployed as a defensive midfielder where his stamina, power, tactical intelligence, and ball-winning abilities aid him in breaking down opposing plays, while his good all-round skills, first touch, and passing allow him subsequently to distribute the ball to his more offensive-minded teammates.” […]

The weird and wacky world of UEFA It is the Interlull so not much Arsenal news afoot. Down here, the news is awash with yellow sticky tape, sugar and reverse swingers. Therefore, I thought I would have a look at something slightly different. The weird and wacky world of UEFA. When is The Emirates […]
Most transfer rumours that come out around this time should be taken with a grain of salt. There are a number of publications out there not exactly renowned for their accuracy. It can be tough to sort through all the noise and identify which rumours have legs, but there’s reason to believe this latest transfer […]
A few interesting debates on Twitter yesterday on the Wilshere revelations which I have to say were no surprise to me. I have never believed he wanted or demanded to be loaned, merely accepted that his Manager would not offer him the playing time to recover full fitness and form in 2016/17. Others of course […]
Believe it or not, there are a few players in the Arsenal squad who divide opinion: some whose weekly performances don’t seem to merit their place in the Arsenal First Team starting line-up.
