When? Why?, Who? And WTF For the first time, I am beginning to question Arsenal and Arsene. Sunday capitulation has raised so many questions they are too numerous to list here and most have already been covered in various blogs in the Gooner World. Hopefully not to rehash the same points, I’ve listed my questions […]
Only at The Arsenal !!! Injuries are a way of life at The Arsenal, Diaby, Wilshire, Ramsey have all had extended stints on the sidelines, via various causes, but never by one of our own. Le Coq has just returned from a two month sabbatical and was looking not far off his best alongside Elneny, […]
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies I’m not normally one for writing previews, but this week I thought I’d give it ago. Sunday Morning (AEDT) Burnley roll into town and The Arsenal continue their second defence of the Emirates (FA) Cup. (That would be a lovely Saturday 3pm for you guys back home) In true Wenger cup […]
Sentimentality Killed the Cat? Ultimately, 2 fundamental errors cost us yesterday. A la Lehmann in Paris, The BFG didn’t need to make the tackle. It was 18 minutes into the game, so if Costa had beaten Petr, we had plenty of time. Costa ain’t the quickest, so Per could have stayed with him and held […]
My old man always said “Son, never give them your surname and never go back”, great advice (mmmm) but there are always some worth a late night booty call*. Sol and Henry got their second chance at love and of course Flame in in his 3rd year of a rekindle romance with the Gunners. Are […]

October 5, 2011: Steve Jobs died of cancer October 19, 2011: Ramsey scored against Marseille. […]
Football re-imagined David Elleray has undertaken a clarification / tidy up / common-sense-ification of the rules of association football. On explaining the process undertaken, Professor Elleray, MBE, explained that; “We have tried to use much clearer language. We tried to avoid a lot of unnecessary repetition and we tried to make it up-to-date. Because the […]
And the 2016 winner is….. It’s the start of a new year and in keeping with tradition, I thought I would ask some well known football brains their predictions for the rest of the season. Firstly, I tracked down Maureen in a swanky west end wine bar; spending his redundancy money; TheSundayMorningGooner – “Who will win […]
Support Arsenal and enjoy the ride Just when you thought it was safe to believe….The Arsenal rollercoaster starts up again.We beat Chelsea, then lose to The Hammers.We beat United, then lose to West Brom.We beat City, then we lose to Southampton. The team has been playing to its maximum ability over the past few and […]
Christmas comes but once a year! Christmas comes but once a year, Bringing Gooners everywhere plenty of cheer. But don’t forget the very best part, Chelsea imploding causing Maureen to depart. And United can score at home or away!!?? With Van Gaal facing the sack, well any day City are wasting the money from the […]
