The One Hundred Just feel gutted about Saturday’s result, we didn’t deserve the decisions, we didn’t deserve the result, but we do deserve constant referees and we do deserve consistent use of VAR. We also passed a milestone; Gabriel became the unenviable 100th Gooner sent off in the Premier League. So, here is my […]

Saturday Night’s Alright: have Arsenal’s Street Fighting Years returned?
There has been a lot of talk about Arsene returning to The Arsenal in some capacity and just maybe this has happened sooner than we think. Similar to Wenger’s infamous spat with Maureen back in 2014. Mikel came close to blows with Klopp on Saturday night. Presumably NOT the after effects of an afternoon on […]

Exclusive: Edu speaks to Zizou, again :)
Things have been quite on the inside information front recently. I blame the Australian lock downs and the utter crapness of Australia Post to be able to deliver anything. Apparently my latest phone tap from London Conley left Hertfordshire 6 weeks ago, landed at Sydney 2 days later and took 5 weeks to travel 10 […]

It’s been an emotional few weeks and my advice is to find some music to work your way through the 5 stages of grief until the six pointer against Norwich in two weeks time. 1. Denial and Isolation – Me, Myself and I – De La Soul When denial kicks in, everything loses meaning, […]
Arteta Optioneering – If not Mikel then who?
I want to state up front, this is not me joining the #ArtetaOut campaign, although, there is a decision to be made in the next few days. Stick and give him until December to see if his players (if he can get any in) can turn it all around, or Twist and get someone in […]
Arteta’s Closing Window of Opportunity – Key Signings needed urgently but time for AMN to embrace right back role
Well Saturday morning (AEST) was a depressing start to the season. Many others, more eloquent than I, will dissect and critique the players, manager and board on that one. Now I’ve chilled out a bit, I thought I’d look at the next two weeks and what we can hope for / need / realistically achieve […]
#FreeWilliamSaliba – 3 Years in Captivity!
And the vitriol commences. We sign Ben White, he gets handed the number 4 shirt and the fan boys are kicking off. The odd thing about this group is that they are fanboys for an unproven 20 year old, with very little experience, as opposed to a 30 something who has proven himself in the […]
