Martin Angha took to twitter, and Arsenal wrote on the official site, that the young Swiss defender has agreed to a pre-contract agreement with FC Nurnberg of the German Bundesliga. I had the privilege, although very briefly, of meeting the young defender at London Colney in November after a tough loss to West Ham. He’s […]

Going into this match there were many similarities to the same fixture four years ago. Phil Dowd last officiated a match between Arsenal and West Ham October 2008. Like this weekend’s fixture it was also at Upton Park. I asked if Arsenal enjoy the same success they had four years ago? Four years ago Arsenal […]

Arsenal visited Manchester City with one goal in mind, take all the points. Arsenal are on form and Manchester City are a few strides behind their previous season. Ripe for the picking the Gunners visited the Etihad. The match featured many Arsenal moments typical of three or four years ago. Arsenal control a large part […]

Arsenal visited the south of France for a day. The sole reason to take three points that on paper are deserved. Arsene Wenger was in the stands, hopefully understanding his touchline ban. It didn’t take long for things to hit full speed. A Yellow in the first minute, an early penalty, and then two quick […]

One of my favourite all time Arsenal goals was scored by Robert Pires away to Southampton. Now, Podolski’s free kick is knocking on the door. Before this match I watched highlights of Arsenal’s last loss to Southampton and our double hattrick win away. WTTGT

The international breaks usually mean that I am bored. This break was really nothing different. My Czechs were not on television (big surprise), and the Canadians were playing Panama with a CONCACAF official. Finding a topic to write on can be a chore and also very difficult. WTTGT

You live abroad, supporting your team based on some individual event rather than inheriting your grandfather’s or great-grandfather’s team. One singular unifying event has drawn in your support and not just watching the occasional game on the telly. You participate in forums, argue with people you’ve never met and even call them names that you […]

On the eve of Arsenal visiting Liverpool I got changed to go to the bar, and without thinking I put on my Arsenal polo “2-0 Arsenal, It’s up for grabs now!” and head out for drinks. That innocuous act helped Arsenal, I am convinced of that. When I wake up in the morning all I […]

The first thing is the title, “The mood swings of a Gooner,” auto-correct made it say ‘goner.’ That seems pretty apt at the present moment. My emotions have been on a bi-polar rollercoaster over the since Easter, but for the first time I feel like I may never recover. Am I resigned to this fate? […]

The Arsenal defence was immense; let that be your focus. Stoke has become a place Arsenal players and fans do not want to visit. When you see the away fixture on the calendar you cringe. I’ve gone on various blogs, twitter and a my usual podcast with Premier Punditry to say that a draw would […]
