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 […]
And the Curse of the Arsenal Number 9 Continues…. The Far Side is Back
Happy Australia Day GunnersTown. (A couple of days late) A lot has happened during my 7 week sabbatical around the world. I got to see the sunset in Phuket I got to spend Boxing Day at church, for the first time in 6 years, I got introduced to the Tibetan […]
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

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
Invincibles to Unavailables And so it came to pass, with Welbz’s (potential) injury, Arsenal now have a starting XI of sidelined players for Saturday’s face off with Hull Kingston Tigers. 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 […]
