As the Premier league champions await us on a tricky away trip to City, it’s key that we look to get something out the game to really get our season rolling for the 800th time. Personally I try to no longer get my hopes up for games against the big teams because so many times […]

If Ozil could be the new Bergkamp then Alexis is the new Henry – Stoke, City & Transfer Round Up
Captain’s Log star-date something something 7 point 2. I don’t know. We travelled to Klingon space & hailed one of their cruisers so I could insult their Captain. She challenged me to a Kruz-Na! I assumed it’s some kind of fight to the death, so I’m going over there with Spock, Bones and a couple […]
Time for Coquelin, Ospina, Bellerin and Apkom to shine? – AFC v Hull FA Cup thoughts
We’ve been presented with a good opportunity to get away from the bumpy ride the club has provided us with in the league, a chance to defend our cup. It’s certainly not an easy game and taking this fixture lightly could see us surprised similarly to our early Capital One Cup exit to Southampton. I […]
Arsenal enjoy Christmas wins, a new midfield combi and target Winston Reid
Captain’s Log, star-date post Christmas. Chekov got me Taylor Swift’s album for Christmas as revenge for beaming his tree into space. Joke’s on him though, I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! QPR I expected the win. We got the win. Even with 10 men we did well. I don’t know what Giroud was thinking but he’s made […]
Time to stick with the winning team for today – Stick with Pace, power, skill and Precision?
Arsene Wenger has surprisingly not been too rigid to experiment during the start of a crucial season, with new systems and new players given time to strike a balance, and the dividends seem to be paying off now. Unlike last season’s chemistry between Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud which got the best out […]
Can this forgotten man force his way back into Arsenal’s future?
As it’s an international week, I thought why not do another loan watch. This time we take a closer look at Francis Coquelin’s season so far. The French youngster was loaned to German outfit Freiburg in the summer and, to be honest, that was kind of a surprise to me. With the signing of Mathieu […]
Why the Capital One Cup is crucial for Arsenal
Despite our season being in turmoil, Arsenal find themselves in the League Cup, or Capital One Cup if you will, against League Two minnows Bradford City tonight. The Gunners are just three positive results away from winning the competition and picking up their first piece of silverware since 2005. WTTGT
Arsenal are filing for divorce
Having gone a goal up so early on Wednesday, I for one was eagerly anticipating Arsenal to go on and really take the game to Everton. By the end of the match, it was a different story and when Francis Coquelin’s attempt of a cross in the dying moments went out of play, BANG, went […]
Modern day footballers, what clever boys (Video)
“They say footballers aren’t the brightest lot” said former Arsenal striker Niall Quinn after seeing these two numpties. In a game that has dominated the internet today for its incredible score, and likewise shocking defending, Arsenal’s French duo Francis Coquelin and Olivier Giroud thought they would try and stand out even more.

How do you solve a problem like a right-back?
I swear Arsenal get a ridiculous amount of injuries to key players – as seen in the recent North London derby – with reliable right-back Bacary Sagna suffering a broken leg which will supposedly keep him out for around three months. WTTGT
