I agree with Lario3, who replied to Callum Perret`s excellent article. I am not willing to accept that we as fans should be expected to stand idly by while the club disintegrates. Next season Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Newcastle will quite possibly finish ahead of us and Leicester will be right on our […]
And so months of endless navel gazing and pontificating begins. If, like me, you’re a fan of HBO’s Game of Thrones and thought the much anticipated “Long Night” foreshadowed in the show ended up being something entirely anti-climatic, I can promise you as an Arsenal fan that this summer is going to be the complete opposite. It’s […]
For Arsenal fans, victory on Wednesday evening is all that will matter. A European trophy, a return to the Champions League and a significant influx of cash that will hopefully give Emery the tools to rebuild and restructure a somewhat dysfunctional squad will be significant reward for what has been at times an underwhelming season.

Arsenal news – Europa League build-up In the run-up to Baku, some intriguing news has come up on various fronts: Cech Sky Sports announced that Petr Cech is to become Chelsea’s new technical director. I have some thoughts, some of which are conflicting on this. Petr Cech is a Chelsea legend and attained […]
Arsenal moments – 18/19 PL season In an earlier post, I gave views on the players and their individual season performances. Now, I will present views on which games – for me at least – stood out for their goodness, badness, or ugliness. So as the players have been rated, what about the performances? […]
To Hell (and Baku): the Arsenal team you’d pick to deliver against the Devil’s Eleven If Arsenal were to play a fictitious game a match in hell against a team made up of peak 1970’s dirty Leeds United, Wimbledon’s 1980’s crazy gang and the 1960’s Italian assassins all rolled into one. In a foreign […]
Arsenal player reviews 18/19 So the PL season has ended, and it’s time to review the players’ performances.
