For a while now I have been beset with doubts about my continued love of football and appreciation of winning, both of which seem to run along quite nicely till we reach the block of unyielding, mostly unbending support of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger on the whole. At that point my philosophy of life begins […]
Greetings fellow Gooners! I hope that your respective summers helped you rejuvenate yourselves and recover from the madness that was last season. Since the last time I posted here, we leapfrogged the scum to finish as runners up in what can be described best as a close second to the comic Lasagna-gate. It was certainly […]
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more divisive character in modern football than current Arsenal boss, Arséne Wenger. Despite being the club’s most successful manager, there are those that would rather see the back of him than endure another Top 4 finish and another year of Champions League football. Wenger seems to have turned the club motto […]
Many folks seem to be surprised by Jack Wilshere’s loan to Bournemouth. I wasn’t too surprised by it, to be honest. Let’s face it: Arsenal have, on paper, a stronger and more competitive midfield in place for this season, with Granit Xhaka signing on this summer and Mohamed Elneny in the winter window to replace […]
In one single moment his whole life got turned around, he stands there for a minute staring straight into the ground. Looking to the left slightly then looking back down, his world feels like its caved in, proper sorry frown. “Please let me show you how I can make this work for us, I can […]
Two weeks later than we had all hoped, our season finally started at Vicarage Road last Saturday. An impressive attacking display, consisting of both pace and purpose during the first forty five minutes, ensured that we went in to the interval, three goals to the good. With the points practically secured during the first half, […]
Hats off to Theo – he has begun the campaign in a fashion becoming an Arsenal player among the higher earners at the club. That is not the fashion in which he finished the last campaign… Various things have happened in recent months: This happened: This did not happen: This may have happened: As may […]
According to certain a hack from a certain so called newspaper (JFT96); Arsenal have panicked Arsenal fans are deluded, and Wenger is clueless. Now we all know that Perez wasn’t our first choice (Madness = Greizmann ?) but he was always on the radar. Apparently, first scouted in December 2015. Mustafi just took time […]
Well, that was much more like it. An impeccable first half to put Arsenal 3 up and then a less convincing second, but more than enough to claim the three points in the end. Watford away was never going to be a walk in the park, Chelsea nearly lost for a reason, so I’m really […]
Since 2010 there have possibly been more lows than highs in N5 with of course the 2014 and 2015 FA Cup wins the 2 highlights. We have seen heroes leave and new heroes arrive and we have broken the club transfer record from pre 2010 now about 5 times. Most of our supporters seem to […]
