It’s less than two weeks until the start of the season and Arsene has been about as active as a sloth, studying sloth studies at Slothville University. So no change there then.

Games without frontiers: Gabriel gets a makeover
Jeux sans frontieres Just heard this absolute tune the other day and it inspired me. A bit of light relief in the off season maelstrom!! Song by Peter Gabriel Words by Wellmo Kos plays it to Santi, Santi plays it to Xhak Elneny, then to Rambo and then Xhaka gets it back Granit forward to […]
If Draxula takes the count up to 2, is it a Double Dip in the Bay of Naples for 3 & 4?
So if the recent stories are to be believed, Julian Draxler is on the late night flugzeug from Berlin and will be on the physio table at London Colney tomorrow and if all goes to plan, he will provide the balance on the right wing to compliment Alex on the left, allow Iwobi the […]
Bye-bye Europe. Woy and Dave’s Not So Excellent Adventures
We’re a bit insular in our country. What’s the difference between Cameron & Hodgson? One led a failed campaign to stay in Europe and then resigned, the other…..oh!!!! So there you have it, England are out of Europe twice in four days and Hodgson joins Cameron in deserting a sinking ship. Neither had a plan […]
Exclusive – Walcott’s ready to fight for his position but not the position you think!!
It’s a quite morning in London Colney. The birds are tweeting, the squirrels are rummaging and the only other noise is the low crescendo of rippling gravel under the tyres of a solitary Ferrari, making its lonely way down the drive to the front door. The car comes to a halt and out jumps Theo, […]

Boom Xhaka Laka – Be A Top Gooner [Fan Chant]
Boom XhakaLaka Well for once Wenger has got started on his renovations early this summer and has set up his first installation before the summer sales have even started. Granit Xhaka has passed his medical and leaked himself and the new home kit to the world. In honour of this event, I thought I’d have […]
Tabloid Haters Gonna hate BUT Arsenal: 2014 4th, 2015 3rd, 2016 2nd 2017?
Now I’m confused – confused by the logic and by the obvious agenda of the tabloid press. Maybe, moving to ‘stralia and having to add an ‘O’ to the end of every word, has reduced by mental capacity to understand only the simplest of things. (Which conversely would make understanding the tabloid press easier). But I […]
21 Years and Counting… It’s all down to this on ‘Not Just any Given Sunday!’
21 years and counting…. As you know Sunday is a must win for us and a must lose for the Sp*ds, so I thought I would have a go at writing Wenger’s speech for Sunday. The problem is every time I started I always came back to this.. So here we go: “I don’t know […]
The Berlin Wall to Colour TVs, a lot can happen in 55 years – But one thing NEVER does.
Since 1961 many things have happened. 1961: The Berlin Wall was built. 1962 : Marilyn Monroe was murdered, sorry, died. 1963: Martin Luther King Jr, had a dream. 1964: Mohammed Ali won his first heavyweight boxing title. 1965: Malcolm X was assassinated 1966: England won the World Cup (& Jules Rimet is still gleaming) […]
