I wrote this back in February I think, but mainly for myself. I was not ready to publish it or sure if I ever would. Certainly, for the family it was way too soon back then. Now – as we approach the first home match of my first season without my son – seems the […]
As I write this we are in peak silly season when it comes to transfers and various players of mixed pedigree, and admittedly some I have never heard of, being linked to my Arsenal. Today I wake up to hear we have had a second official bid for Tierney. Celtic’s talented left back rejected. I […]
Much has been written about just how many players Arsenal have been linked to already in this transfer window and of course, this is no different to any other window in reality. The question is less why are we linked to so many players but more why does that surprise anyone. In fact, being linked […]
Here were are post season and Arsenal and their frustrated fan base enter a summer of frenzied media and social media speculation of who will arrive and who will depart the playing staff ahead of the 2019/20 campaign. What we all know, or think we know is that having failed in his first season to […]
I think as Arsenal supporters that you are well within your rights to diss this Premier League campaign! Diss being the American slang for ‘Disrespecting’ So here is my rampant ‘dissing’ – Are you ready?

Indeed, it sometimes seems that Emery’s executive limousine […]
The business end of the season starts here. After an exciting international break, if you are an England fan, the Premier League returns and there is so much to play for still for so many teams. I think there are only two or three teams with nothing to play for really. You could argue that […]
Socrates is a founder of modern philosophy you know Sokratis footballer they all told us was far too slow Plato leaned from Socrates and became an equally clever chappie Holding learned from Sokratis and made the Gooners happy The Socratic Method is a negative method of hypothesis elimination The Sokratic method more akin to creative […]
I recently wrote a speculative piece on Lorient’s exciting talent, Alexis Claude Maurice. I pondered whether the existing close connection between Arsenal and Les Merlus, as well as Guendouzi’s friendships with his ex-team mates might encourage another surprising swoop into Ligue 2. From a young player’s perspective, watch their ex comrade be given so much […]
While the season for Arsenal goes down in flames Mesut still loves our club or so he claims I do not know if he does nor do I particularly care But I do know the team I love is missing his flair I would rather he did is talking with his feet and […]
