Qualification to next year’s Champions League is the prize for the winners of the competition and […]
I watched most of Spurs match against Borussia Dortmund and it was hard to take the disparity between their performance and that disaster last night. The stadium is bouncing and the fans are belting out their songs when their team is playing. In contrast, we had a decent amount of proper fans who made the […]
Deloitte Arsenal – cause for concern but a way forward can be clear The Deloitte Money League, an annual report on global football clubs’ revenues, was released in January. It’s a mix of projections and actual accounts from clubs, and used to show how revenues impact on performance relative to others. As a […]
in 2011 I was a avid reader of Arsenal blogs but there was far less of them in those days. One writer who stood out for me when it came to tactical match analysis was @DesiGunner. He was one of a handful of writers that inspired me to take to the amateur Gunner keyboard, so […]

AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal – Europa League R/16 – San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Milan Wow. We WON A GAME….. Facetiousness aside, it’s good to win. And despite the doom and gloom in our midst, we played pretty well overall. There is one negative for me. In that it shows how well we can play, when […]
