I would be hard pushed to think of a conversation I’ve had with Mark and Andy about The Arsenal where I didn’t learn something new about the history of our great club. Therefore, I was both thrilled and honoured when they asked me to write a review of Royal Arsenal – Champions of the South, […]

Arsenal Launch New Junior Gunners App
Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited along to a special event at The Emirates, as Arsenal became the first Premier League football club to launch a fully interactive children’s app specifically for its young supporters – the Junior Gunners App, where Junior Gunners and young Arsenal fans globally can look forward […]
Arsenal’s transfer hunt for a defensive midfielder may HAVE TO WAIT, in the mean time, Gooners can bicker again
DB’s Silly Season Diary- Are We Nearly There Yet? I find myself in a strange situation writing this, as it will be the last piece I’ll be writing before the start of the season, as this time next week I’ll be sitting by the pool with beer in hand. In fact, being pretty much in […]
Sami Khedira confused by Arsenal interest as Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker initiate Plan B
DB’S SILLY SEASON DIARY 2014: Sanchez Signs, Mathieu Materialises and Khedira Kidnapped So, last year it was Mesut. Fucking. Özil, and the rise of the umlaut. This year, it’s Alexis. Fucking. Sánchez and an attack of acute hysteria. Yes, the thingy over the “a” is called an acute, in case you were wondering. Just hours […]
#WelcomeAlexis – Could Sanchez go the way of Gonzalo Higuain as Arsenal prepare another audacious stunt ?
DB’s Silly Season Diary Sanchez, Schneiderlin and Shirt Rage I decided to wait until July 1st to start writing this, even though it’s been a fortnight since you heard from me last.

The Essential Guide to Surviving Transfer Silly Season – Part 1

Yep, you read that right. I actually wrote a weekly column covering the whole of last summer’s transfer window fun. Well, […]
Arsenal; Winning, Top of the Premier League, BUT Nicklas Bendtner just get a haircut and shave that ridiculous beard off you fat bastard
Pre-Season Diary The whole reason I write this weekly season diary, and wrote the pre-season diary before it, is to cover the changing moods and emotions we go through as Arsenal supporters from day to day, game to game, and week to week. As this is a diary I don’t just wait until then end […]
Arsenal feast on Turkish delight and Cottage Pie, BT Sport’s cringe and Paul Merson on the Kardashians
Season Diary Due to this being a two-game week, coming off the back of a home defeat to Aston Villa in our first game of the new season, I think it’s only fitting that this week’s piece should come to you somewhat chronologically. Firstly, I am now officially sick to the back teeth of transfer talk […]
Here We Go (Again…)
Season Diary Well, the pre-season diary is kind of finished with now, so I have decided to carry on with what I was doing, this time over the course of the whole season (sanity permitting). I aim to do the same thing as pre-season, which is to cover the changing moods, the ups and downs, […]
Brendan Rodgers, Luis Suarez, Jose Mourinho and Gareth Bale compounding Arsenal fans with a hate-filled summer
Pre-Season Diary Well, that went quick all of a sudden didn’t it? The final week of this pre-season diary already! When I started doing this blog ten weeks ago, my aim was to capture the changing moods and emotions we go through as Arsenal supporters during the close season. The highs (yeah, I know) and […]
