It’s nice to see the British press do their best to take the gloss off The Arsenal’s good form and on the field success! No sooner have we had our best run of the season, the gutter press are doing their utmost to muddy the waters & stir up trouble. The Daily Fail’s, younger, […]

The Quarterback, the Fulcrum – From Necessity due to Injury to Necessity Due to Ability – PFA Team of the Year??
With Burnley put to the sword, The Arsenal are the form side in the EPL. They have secured 8 victories on the bounce & amassed 39 points from a possible 45 post Christmas. Not too bad really, considering The Arsenal were quoted as the outsiders for the top 4 by pretty much every pundit in […]
Let’s not forget the moments of magic Theo can produce…
Recently there’s been a lot of chatter about Theo, his contract & his place in the team. Theo has divided opinion ever since he joined The Arsenal in 2006. He has undoubted speed, apparently the fastest professional footballer in the world, (although Bellerin is supposed to be quicker), it’s whether his brain can keep up with […]
The Barcelona iPad Scouting App says the same as Citeh’s – We need Jack Wilshere this Summer
So here we go again. It’s not even April and the ‘Cant’alans are bloody well at it again. With Xavi joining the Qatari gravy train this summer, Barca need a midfielder to fill his immense boots. So Luis Enrique has whipped out his iPad, started up his scouting app, set the search to its default […]
Exclusively Revealed – What Fergie said to Van Gaal about Coquelin.
Who is this Francis Coquelin they speak of? A friend of my cousin’s dog sitter’s milkman used to drink with the ex-postboy in Miers Porgan’s office at The Spews of the World. He was clearing out the ex-owners desk & found a laptop still connected to the internet & bizarrely it was still recording […]
It’s goodbye to Diaby and I wish it was goodbye to Scholes
Two stories have caught my eye this week… 1 . Never can say goodbye After 3339 days at the club & 1554 days chatting with Doctor Lewin, it looks like Abou is finally being set free. Personally I find this very sad news. I truly believe that Diaby could’ve / should’ve been a […]
Wingman Extraordinaire- Who is Arsenal’s finest ever winger?
Fox sports Australia, hopefully as a forerunner to #TheInvincibles, have just shown a doco on Robert Pires. They, as we all know, set our Bobby’s ability to turn a game on its head, the effect he had on #TheInvicibles, the fact he was one of the greatest players ever to pull on the Red/Maroon/Yellow/Blue…of The […]
The skys the limit with Alexis Cazorzil
When you’ve got Alexis Carzozil, anything is achievable? With injuries & alike abound, have The Arsenal stumbled upon the money shot. I, like many, assumed that with the signing of Alexis & Ozil, the wall was adorned with the scribbles of Cazorla’s demise. And to be fair, after last season many would have agreed with […]
After the NLD Apocalypse just remember its 19 YEARS since they finished above us.
If I hear the phrase ‘You’ve been caught by the Hurri-Kane’ one more time, I will swing for someone. Honestly. Yes The Spuds won. Yes we were outplayed. The Spuds came out with a game plan & I’m afraid to say, it worked. After 20 minutes, we had 11 men behind the ball, full backs that […]
Australia’s Greatest SPORTING Victory
I start, again, by apologising, as this isn’t an Arsenal blog, but a football blog. A quiet time on deadline day 😉 10.30pm, January 31st, 2015, Australia have just won the Asian Cup, 2-1 against South Korea at Stadium Australia. Australia took the lead on the stroke of half-time, with a quality strike from […]
