Congratulations to the Football Association. After years of tireless work, you have identified the real menace to the beautiful game: a teenager who got upset after being clattered. Not the clatter itself, of course. That was fine. A poor challenge, the kind that could have put a young player on the treatment table for a […]
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 […]

In one of sport’s truly shocking upsets, the mighty Arsenal crashed out of the League Cup to struggling minnows Brighton and Hove Albion in a shocking 3-1 loss at London’s Emirates Stadium last night. Looking to be the first English side to win the coveted ‘quadruple’ – favourites Arsenal were unable to hold onto an […]
Salah-Eddine Oulad to Make Debut Against Sunderland? It’s always better to train a player ‘in-house’ instead of bringing one in from the outside. The January transfer window is, indeed, a casino, with no way to predict how well the incoming player will do, how quickly he will adapt to playing at the Emirates Stadium. Those […]
In what seems at the eye of a very turbulent, virulent storm the Arsenal had a chance to potentially break a run of goalless winless games with their Carabao third round tie against West Brom. A game you would be forgiven for having fresh memories of Premier League West Brom of last season rather than […]
The Summer Mistake POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’m not going in on the transfer team with two feet, but it is becoming very evident that Arsenal needed a natural winger last summer. Whether we kept Reiss Nelson or bought one or two of the names being brandished around, it is obvious that we don’t have […]
It’s amazing to think that, despite the atrocious season we are having, some saving grace is still possible. Yet, going into today’s game, it’s exactly where we are. While the Europa League as a possible scalp for Arsene Wenger’s side remains a remote possibility for now, the League Cup final can provide some balm for […]
Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal Carabao Cup Semi-Final Leg 1 Stamford Bridge • January 10, 2018 Where did this come from? My latest match reviews have been pretty morose. Well, it’s pretty much on point, considering we’ve played the same bad stuff, and hit new lows. But today, we did OK. Chelsea had a stronger team out […]
We take on Chelsea for the the second time inside 6 days and my fear Wenger is going to field a squad not dissimilar to the one which crashed out of the cup three days ago. Mercifully, there’s the small matter of these guys having to play a second game in just a matter of […]
