Arsenal spending £40m on Schneiderlin and Hummels and selling Podolski in January WOULD get the season back on track
See You On The Other Side This will be my last blog until February as I’m about to embark on a well-earned break. An 8-week jaunt around the world via Phuket, England (and my first home game at the Emirates in 6 years), Orlando (for the little ‘un) and LA (for the grown ups). By the […]
Arsene Wenger is NOT to blame for recent failings at Arsenal, the players and fans must share the blame
Yes, Arsenal have found another way to fail to convert superior, well superior everything, except the goals for column, to points on the board. Officially our lowest points tally, at this stage of the season, since 1982. It doesn’t make good reading. But it’s the shots stat really takes the biscuit! Olivier Giroud had the […]
Arsenal fans must step back and reflect after recent Arsene Wenger antics
Yes, it’s bloody frustrating supporting Arsenal, but hey, at least it’s not boring. Over the last few weeks, the vitriol between the pro and anti Arsene Wenger camps has reached fever pitch and Twitter has gone into melt down. I think we should take a step back and reflect. Arsene deserves the utmost respect and […]
Arsenal fans create new song following Arsene Wenger’s latest challenging comments
“A Little Less Conversation” Following Anderlecht, Arsene Wenger said; “We had bad luck because the first goal is offside, we had bad concentration because we thought the job was done, we had fatigue and didn’t win the challenges anymore.” Following Swansea, Wenger said; “It was a game where we were in control and at 1-0 up I […]
Australia in the Ascendancy in Arabia
I would like to state up front that this week’s view is not an Arsenal blog, but a football blog. So please forgive me for my indulgence. I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Western Sydney Wanderers. I’m not a Wanderers fan (Central Coast Mariners have my allegiance) but WSW recent achievement is […]
Did Arsene drop the pizza not resigning Cesc?
Now I know many more esteemed bloggers than I have broached this topic, but I wanted to put a different slant on the subject. Following Saturday’s successful but ultimately disappointing performance, questions regarding our midfield have raised their ugly heads again. Arsene chose the odd but partially enforced formation of 4231, playing the much maligned […]
REVEALED! The explanation of Arsenal’s long-standing injury voodoo has arrived

Total cost – £120m (give or take a couple of quid) Combined estimated time unavailable – 18 months (give or take a couple of weeks) Combined time […]
Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger looking for a New Year’s resolution BUT Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil are NOT to blame for poor form
Daniel Nice Tackle Messiah Welbeck (bloody auto correct!) He’s not the messiah; he’s a very naughty boy! Danny: I’m not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly! Tabloid press: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity. Danny: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? Alright! […]
LEAKED: Conversations between Arsenal medical staff and top midfield talents become public
DOCTOR AND THE MEDICS Colin Lewin and (Doctor) Gary O’Driscoll are sat in the London Colney medical centre, drinking their morning coffee, waiting for the usual Monday influx. At 8.30am there’s a knock at the door; the Doctor looks at Colin; “Bet you a fiver, it’s Abou” “Not a chance, you pull that one every […]
