Reboot Computer With ‘Wenger Out’ banners now being displayed at such obscure matches as New Zealand vs Fiji, The debate has now been pushed out to a worldwide audience. (Ok, there was only 500 at the game in Wellington, but it made national news) Nevertheless, there now appears to be two likely scenarios that may […]
1995 and today…..some key parallels. 1995 was the last truly “bad” year for Arsenal. Things weren’t good. Maybe it’s being spoilt by Wenger, I don’t know. But good or bad are relative terms. Compared to pre-Graham even, it was in some ways our worst season since the mid-1970s. Namely: We finished 12th place Bar Seaman, […]
Will Shakespeare once wrote in rhyme and high jinks That the Fans they doth protest too much, me thinks Fans driven to despair by a Prince who became King In all but name, he controlled everything It was eleven years hence I remember the hour When Arsene the Prince had expanded his power […]
My timeline reached fever pitch (no pun intended) last week after the total capitulation in Munich, with a raging debate on whether or not it is time for Arsene Wenger to call it a day at The Arsenal. Personally, I feel the time is right for him to hand over the reins for somebody else […]
Well, for a surprise, this is a surprise. The Arsenal Football Club just announced the arrival of former Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight coach Arsène Wenger at the helm of the Club, to replace the departing Bruce Rioch. Despite penning a three-years deal fourteen months ago only and qualifying for next year’s UEFA Cup by […]
After being asked by a group of friends my thoughts on what the causes of the deep rooted problems The Arsenal face are, I decided to write a three-pronged piece and not just give the now standard response of, ‘It’s all Arsene Wenger’s fault,’ though a think piece on his part in our demise began […]
This piece from a fan Graham is in direct response to the much read piece from Gary Lawrence entitled ‘Where did it all for Arsene? – It was left in the comments. The article is an interesting read and highlights some of the issues, but for me it doesn’t paint an accurate enough picture. The […]
As I sit writing this, Twitter is in full meltdown. The toxicity between fans either for or against Arsene Wenger is at an all-time high. I don’t want to see Arsene tarnishing his legacy, but that’s what it’s come to. I wanted him to go out in glory winning the FA Cup either in 2014 […]
For me these were wonderful memories generated by Graham Perry in this piece remembering Joe Mercer. However he was using Joe for an analogy to defend Arsene Wenger. But those were different times. The fans wore flat caps at all the grounds and the players earned wages not all that more than them. We all […]
Another visit to Old Trafford, another shambolic performance. I don’t bother with anger anymore. If a decade of resignation has taught me anything, it is that while the situation at Arsenal is helplessly rigid, emotion simply isn’t worth it. Pessimism has been a faithful ally of mine over the years; I’d recommend it to any […]
