Arsenal Finally Being as Ruthless as Chelsea Sometimes, when I’m lying awake at night and not thinking about 2007/08 Alex Hleb, I fret about the etymology of words and get myself all worked up for no reason at all. It’s a strange pastime and almost certainly a tactic from my brain designed to keep me […]
There has been a lot of fan angst, understandably, about Stan Kroenke’s ownership of Arsenal. Alisher Usmanov has said that he is willing to sell his stake, which Kroenke is very willing in terms to buy. Thus, he can now own the entirety of our club’s equity, and move it off the London Stock Exchange […]
I am writing this on the morning the awful devastating news broke that Stan Kroenke is going to buy Alisher Usmanov’s shares in Arsenal Football Club. I feel that this is the saddest and darkest day in the history of the club. I understand he is paying Usmanov £650m at £29,419.60p a share. Well below […]
An Englishman and a Belarusian walk into an Irish bar in Hong Kong to watch the latest instalment of the Europa League. The Belarusian orders a bottle of vodka and sits at one end of the bar and the Englishman orders a pint of Fosters and sits at the other. 25 minutes into the game, […]
The Arsenal league season ends with questions of who will be in charge next season On Sunday the Premier League season ended for Arsenal, with many a cloud hanging over it, many questions are now being asked at the club and by fans and journalists alike.

1995 and today…..some key parallels. 1995 was the last truly “bad” year for Arsenal. Things weren’t good. Maybe it’s being spoilt by Wenger, I don’t know. But good or bad are relative terms. Compared to pre-Graham even, it was in some ways our worst season since the mid-1970s. Namely: We finished 12th place Bar Seaman, […]
My timeline reached fever pitch (no pun intended) last week after the total capitulation in Munich, with a raging debate on whether or not it is time for Arsene Wenger to call it a day at The Arsenal. Personally, I feel the time is right for him to hand over the reins for somebody else […]
You Guest It At the time of writing Arsenal have had a somewhat hit and miss few months. Much of the deadwood that hamstringed the clubs less than stellar wage structure has since departed and many of the younger players are showing hunger and potential, albeit during preseason. Aaron Ramsey is continuing to blossom in a deeper […]
You Guest It I’ve wanted to write a blog for a long time now, but where do you start? Arsenal, more so than any other club, it seems, already has hundreds of regular bloggers, covering everything from transfer rumours, to tactics and individual players. But there is one key issue that I feel needs addressing, […]
What’s The Score?! Welcome to another week of “What’s the score?!” Firstly, thank you for all the generous comments and retweets on last week’s column. It is certainly appreciated. The Rumour wheels keep on turning… With constant reports of who Arsenal are going to buy in the forthcoming transfer window, Twitter again has been awash with plenty […]
