The mood is low, but… Allow me to offer a ray of hope because from what I saw in our to defeat against West Ham there was reason for optimism. That optimism comes in the form of Benjamin White. I sit in Row 7 in the North Bank and something that I have not […]
I don’t get annoyed at other supporters’ views on the Arsenal thsee days. We are a multi-generational broad church as Gooners, spanning the globe, so different perspectives are to be expected. However, if I were still the type to get annoyed, I would probably be mildly wound up by those who deem today’s semi-final as […]
Football strangulation An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, the Ipswich game wasn’t necessarily ’fun’ but it was certainly interesting. At least for a footballing nerd like me.

On behalf of Arsenal fans and confused football fans in general, I would like you to answer these questions about […]
