“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? I’d be twice as happy with my inflatable in Exmouth!”“The Michelin three-stars restaurants every Saturday? Nothing beats my nan’s food!”Bullsh*t We went from the […]
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 […]

The nature of Arsenal’s season was perfectly summed up by their showing at the London Stadium, as their combination of inconsistency and brilliance saw them come from three goals down to draw with West Ham. If ever there was a game that could highlight not only the progress Arsenal have made since the turn of […]
Portrayed as a fraud. Painted as a failed genius by others, there is more to Unai Emery’s tenure with Arsenal than meets the eye. Charged with the titanic assignment of returning Arsenal to Champions League ascension, Arsène Wenger’s successor highlighted the arrival of a new era. For the first time in over two decades, Arsenal […]
This time last week I was a nervous wreck, fearing the worst and hoping for the best, fearing that inside a week our season would feel like it was over and hoping that we could navigate ourselves to a couple victories, preferably victories that wouldn’t cause the sort of heart palpitations that the Benfica game […]
The biggest match of the season, a season defining week, make or break for Arteta, are all phrases that any Arsenal fan will have read or spoken this week ahead of the Europa League Round of 16 and the North London Derby. In reality, it is simply the biggest week, since the last biggest week, […]
