After the ludicrous coverage of the ‘Boring, Boring Chelsea’ chat, which apparently is more heinous than chanting ‘Wenger is a pedophile’, Maureen, again continued with with anti-Wenger / Arsenal campaign, claiming; ‘It’s boring to not have won a title in 10 years’ blah, blah, blah! This follows his abuse of Wenger following our defeat to […]

I support Arsenal for the ‘Arsenal Way’ – How about you?
This is a question I’ve been asked pretty often in the last three years, ever since my university journey began. “Why do you support Arsenal?” Of course, the question is posed by neutrals, not by Arsenal fans or, indeed, any football fans. My replies varied. I felt obliged (most of the time) to say something […]
If only CFC expired as much energy in dealing with accusations of Racism as they have with being Boring and Hull v Arsenal Preview
Team news At this point in time there’s not much to dissect in terms of team news. We didn’t sustain any fresh injures against Chelsea. Our only absentee will be Mathieu Debuchy, who has a bit of hamstring problem, poor fella. On the upside, Arteta and Oxlade may return soon if not for our visit […]

Time to cash in on Super Jacky Wilshere?
The last couple of days saw an interesting discussion spring up: the role of Jack Wilshere in this current team. Does he have any role to play, where does he fit in if so, and what should be done if City comes knocking on our door in the summer? A couple of articles from Gunnerblog, […]
Have Arsenal taken a big step forward or have City and Liverpool just taken a step backwards?
Chelsea I was expecting us to beat Chelsea at home. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t. That was the first indication that we have progressed this season, or more specifically in the second half of this season. I don’t remember the last time I looked forward to a game against Chelsea. Even at […]
Was Thierry right about Olivier Giroud?
“I think Giroud is doing extremely well. But can you win the league with him? I wouldn’t think so”. “He does a job, and he does it ever so well, but you can’t win the league.” Thierry Henry, April 2015 These words hurt Olivier Giroud and many Gooners but not me. I agree with […]
This is how Arsenal will beat Chelsea – Turn their ‘Strength into their Weakness.’
The thought barely leaves me to be honest. How to Beat Chelsea As Arsenal exit a decade of self imposed austerity for me it’s always been about dispatching Liverpool and focussing on Chelsea. Ever since Roman arrived we have had to react to them. They manipulated the transfer market to suit their own affluence knowing […]
Wenger in the ascendancy as Media finally tire of Bus Parking Moaning Mourinho
This review will contain very little it terms of actual team news and possible line-ups for Sunday. These have been brilliantly covered by Andrea and Tim already, do I decided to focus on something else entirely. Bear with me. This year I’ve witnessed a rather unusual and, therefore, interesting phenomenon. I’m not even talking about […]
