Arsenal Expectations for 17/18 We are all awaiting new signings (Lemar?), and the Leicester game in the coming weeks. The Charity Shield* may be interesting, but then it is just a friendly, and an actual trophy win vs. Chelsea in May was better than any prospective glorified friendly “win”. Mourinho called it “half a trophy”, […]
George Graham was the Arsenal manager between 1986 and 1995. At this point he is our second-best ever manager, based on trophies, win percentage, and overall legacy. The premier manager is Wenger, of course. Wenger has won ten trophies with us, though Graham won six, including a European trophy that Wenger hasn’t attained to date. […]
I WANT THE europA LEAGUE Yes, I want to win it. I can hear it now: “You what?” “Europa League is shit!” “It’s BS, mate.” “It’s shit, bruv…” “Jose only cared about it cos of the Champions League, mate…” “It’s below us!” “It’s shameful!” “It’s a sign of failure.” “We should throw it, and […]
Wenger – different values? We all know by now he’s staying. I posted prior in another article that I want him gone, but I still respect what he’s done for us. His influence at Arsenal is truly eternal. But I’ve been thinking about something. Is the reason why Wenger Ins and Wenger Outs differ due […]
Arsenal players inspire ambivalence…….love and dismay in one. At this moment, Lacazette is supposedly coming. Though I’ll do as the cliché says and only “be happy once it’s on Arsenal.com”. We’ve been burnt by this speculation far too many times, it’s like the boy who cried ‘wolf’. But then I’ve been thinking about players who […]
Jack (Frost)…no “cold” shoulder, but is it time? It was the summer solstice a few days ago, which is the longest day of the year. It’s the period of most sunlight, and the greatest exposure the Earth has to the Sun in orbit. Because it was the longest day, the title reminded me of the […]
It’s a few days now after the UK’s general election. Whilst the Tories won a majority of seats, the Labour Party led by noted Gooner Jeremy Corbyn, did better than anticipated. Funnily enough, he is not only a Gooner, but is the club’s local MP, as the Emirates is in his own constituency. Corbyn […]
Alexis…..eres una leyenda The title is in homage to Alexis’s native language (or lengua nativa o idioma nativo), and yes to me he is a legend. The topic of who constitutes a club legend is moot and subjective. Many may balk at these points; however, I have seldom seen a player like Alexis in my […]
Why not the Europa League? I’m writing this just prior to the Man United home game. At the time of writing, we’re sixth in the table. It looks like, even if we do get top four, that our league position would be the worst in over twenty years. Certainly the worst in Wenger’s tenure that […]
Stop the fighting fellow Gooners…. I’m just here just to share my views with fellow Gooners. I’m not a pontificator, and I cannot say what is what. But one way I live my life is that nobody has all the answers. We all have opinions. Many of us have strongly-held opinions, I know I do. […]
