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 […]
After securing Europa League knock out football with a 1-0-win last night over PSV, Arsenal can get back to their impressive Premier League campaign with a visit to St Mary’s. Thursday’s win was an eight successive win across the 2 competitions since Arteta’s team were beaten at Old Trafford in September. Because of their impressive […]
Arsenal finished 5th in the last premier league season. From an emotional point of view, it was very disappointing especially when at one point of the season Arsenal were so close to securing the Champions League qualification. However, Arsenal being in the Europa League does not necessarily have to be all doom and gloom. As […]
Two seasons of massive underachievement prior to this one, ensured a large percentage of our fan base had vastly reduced expectation levels at the beginning of this campaign. I’m frequently reading how we overachieved this season. In my opinion we didn’t. When the transfer window closed in the summer, I was relatively pleased with our […]
“It isn’t easy being an Arsenal fan…. this season it’s been harder than ever….” As you may or may not know, I have just finished writing my second book, “Over Land and Sea (and Lockdown), Arsenal 20/21 – The Corona Diaries”, which will be released through Legends Publishing in July. The project began simply as […]
You get used quickly to fancy stuff. Don’t believe anyone who tells you the opposite”“I may be a millionaire but I am the same chap I’ve always been!”“My yacht in Saint-Tropez?

Well, here we are in what seems like Deja-vu territory, with another MUST win match, in another make or break for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal’s season. Having overcome the last two knockout rounds against Olympiacos and Benfica, the reward was, on paper at least and easier route to a potential final show down with Man […]
Sometimes it’s not blame It’s so easy to look for blame. It feels good. It removes a part of the frustration as we pass it off. I’m more than happy to apportion blame when I think it’s deserved. I like to remain as emotionally stable as possible so as to not live in the world […]
Let’s face it, the past few days has not been up there with our best as Arsenal fans. We wait for 2 weeks to see our team, allow the anticipation and confidence to grow, as we await the visit of a faltering Liverpool, shorn of any proper centre backs and we are rewarded with an […]
The road to the Champions League is full of potholes When you are 3-0 down at West Ham on a Sunday afternoon, the Champions League feels a long way away. However, the Gunners fought back superbly to come away with a draw. That fighting spirit is needed if Arsenal are to play in the 2021/22 […]
