In my almost 13 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve witnessed a lot of defeats. Yesterday’s 3-1 surrender to Chelsea was by no means the worst. In fact, I can think of a handful of draws much more painful than some defeats Arsenal suffered down the line. Before you shout “any draw is better than any […]
Well, it looks like the last throw of the dice, doesn’t it? Drinking in the last chance saloon for Arsenal. To say I’m hugely disappointed in where this season seems to be heading would be stating the bleeding obvious. I’m also angry. At myself, first of all. Yet another season I’ve allowed myself to buy […]
This is the second in a series of Wenger-related posts by me. I am Wenger Out, but still revere him for his achievements. My intention here in this series is to highlight and correct some misconceptions or misinterpretations of his tenure, since he should be seen by ALL of us (Wenger in or out) as […]
After suffering a hugely disappointing defeat against Everton at Goodison Park, I was hoping to see some form of positive reaction from our players against Manchester City. Unfortunately, it didn’t materialise and we now find ourselves nine points adrift of the current league leaders, Chelsea. In the eyes of many supporters, a nine point lead […]
Talk of possessing ‘Mental Strength’ looks more mental when you’ve had a week like Arsenal has. It is just over a week since Arsenal came from behind to dispatch Stoke City relatively comfortably at the Emirates Stadium. Having trailed to a penalty midway through the first half, three goals in reply handed the Gunners three […]
Ahhh! December. When Santa decides who make his naughty list and who makes his nice list. The season of giving and the season of receiving. Alas, the football gods in recent moments have also taken and given. Days ago we were struck with the sad news that the football gods in need of angels called […]
A tale of two clubs. Chelsea and Arsenal. What is the difference between them and us? 8 top division league titles. That’s right. We have won it a respectable 13 times and Chelsea have won it only 5 times. Albeit we have won it less number of times in the Premier League era than them but […]
Ethical – definition – relating to moral principles It’s August 6th and Maureen is off already. Apparently it is ‘unethical’ to comment on United’s worse kept secret of spending £100m to RE-SIGN Paul Pogba from Juve. Arsene stated that the valuation of the ex United youngster was ‘completely crazy’ and Klopp has been reported as […]
I’ll preface this blog with this: this one will be a sad blog, for many fans. Please tweet all abuse to me @timjbharg on Twitter or leave a comment below – but please don’t abuse the other writers and editors! I think that next season Arsenal will get into the Champions League but it will […]
Time to reset our horizons? Let’s face it, barring a miracle, if I was one of the luck punters with £100 on Leicester to win the title at 5000/1, I wouldn’t be cashing out early as all the bookies are praying they do. 5 points clear of the spuds (11 to Arsenal) 7 games to […]
