After reading Andrea’s blog about being a Gunner is isolation I became reflective of my own situation. It’s fair to say I was isolated from Arsenal’s fanbase until very recently. I started supporting the Gunners back in 2005, with a habit of regularly watching their games not kicking in at least till 2008. That gave […]

Arsenal come forth in their Triumph and ‘Dozen’ it feel good?
Triumph. I was looking for one word which can best describe what happened yesterday and I found it: triumph. Not a win. You can get 30+ wins a season and still be left empty-handed. Not a success. Success is temporary. One day you are successful, the other you are not. Success isn’t all-encompassing. You can […]
Has Mr.Theodore James Walcott given Monsieur Arsene Wenger a Selection headache, along with Wilshere as Santi pulls the strings
The Premier League season drew to a close yesterday and some of the results were, how shall I put it, quite unexpected. Aside from us thrashing West Brom (I think even the most optimistic of us couldn’t predict such a scoreline), we have: Burnley beating Aston Villa away despite being relegated long before the game, […]
Rosicky to celebrate staying by starting v West Brom
“We want to finish on a high at the Emirates and we want our fans to go home happy, full of hope for next season. We have fought very hard to directly qualify for the Champions League and we want to get over the line and finish the job, which we couldn’t do on Wednesday […]
Time to rest Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla and Giroud all dead on their feet against Sunderland – But for who? MOZART Please!
If you came here today to see me bemoan the dropped points, you can turn right around because I won’t. I probably would have done that had we lost, but when your team attacks for 90 minutes out of 95, manages 28 shots and has 76% possession, well, that’s what I call an effort and […]
Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
Ramsey stakes a claim to central berth as Santi fades after Wenger’s subs inspire comeback
Well this is awkward. We all know how people tend to overlook the performance in the context of the result. Of course, it’s fair to say this is mostly wrong: down the years Arsenal fans have seen good performances aplenty only to see the Gunners consequently lose the match. Many started supporting Arsenal for the […]
Arsenal’s Summer Shopping List – it’s longer than you thought…
It’s that time of the year again. Though the transfer window will only open in 6 weeks, the transfer mill is already churning out rumours and boasting actual signings. Depay will start next season in United colours after the Red Devils bought him for a ridiculous £31 million and Dybala (our long-rumoured target) […]
May The Fourth Be With United – Arsenal Need To Bounce Back At Old Trafford
Match Preview by Alex Baguzin Hi everyone. It’s United away on Sunday and it’s hard not to look at this game as crucial to our hopes of finishing second. As we know, our defeat to Swansea left our fate out of our hands. We now trail second-placed City by 3 points with a game in […]
Arsenal 0 Swansea 1 – Sadly ‘Good Old Arsenal!!!’
“As Valencia’s deflected shot found the bottom corner I stared at the screen in disbelief. The sense of unreality swept over me. For a good while longer than a few seconds I’ve been (fruitlessly) trying to persuade myself that this wasn’t happening. This could not be happening. Simply because everything about this goal was so […]
