Déjà vu. Groundhog Day. A season supporting Arsenal football club. Nothing ever seems to change with our club, as we slowly slowly slide down the pole of mediocrity. What we thought would be an improved season after the first year of missing out on a top four place in 20-odd years has rather turned out […]
GT It wasn’t the best of performances in Moscow, but Arsenal survived a Moscow onslaught to reach the Europa League semi-finals thanks to goals from Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey, here are some player ratings from Moscow. Petr Cech- 5, Cech was arguably at fault for both of their goals, pushing it straight to […]

On 16th of February 2011, a 19 years-old Jack Wilshere produced his best performance in an Arsenal shirt, to date. He took on a midfield trio of Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta and showed a fantastic mix of bravery, trickery and maturity which prompted every media outlet to praise the Arsenal academy product. The […]
“Dynamic” and “Incisive.” Those are the terms I associate with the attacking brand of Arsenal football I fell in love with over a decade ago. In recent blogs, I’ve made mention of the identity crisis at the club and the deviation from the swashbuckling, eye-catching offensive ethos we developed over the course of the Wenger […]
It’s been quite a journey, this Gooner journey through the Kubler-Ross stages of GRIEF. First there was DENIAL – an inability, or unwillingness, to accept that there was something rotten in the state of Arsenal. Wenger had gutted his Invincibles, ruthlessly ridding himself of his stars for top dollar to finance the new stadium -and […]
It is always enjoyable to expound a conspiracy theory in football (or perhaps more accurately a piecing-together of various snippets of collected information..) What follows is my very Arsenal version of what-ifs, maybes and the ultimate 2-and-2-makes-5 at least! From what Wenger is saying – at least, what I am hearing – it seems highly […]
Arsenal’s £56million man, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has netted an impressive 6 goals in his first 7 Premier League gamesm – the best start ever for an Arsenal signing. Sergio Aguero is the only current Premier League player to have done better. To see how PEA compares to other strikers in the PL with over 5 goals, […]
When I looked at the team sheet before the game I knew all I needed to: Wenger ditched the Premier League entirely to save players for the Europa League. That is a reasonable approach, one I have been advocating for even before the Milan games. I thought we would see a somewhat stronger side still […]
