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 […]
For this week’s Highbury Hero I’m going back to the early 1990s to talk about our original Super Swede Anders Limpar. When he trotted onto the pitch last Saturday, it brought back so many great memories of him. Hard to believe it’s over a quarter of a Century since he signed for The Arsenal and […]
As this is the first in a series of Highbury Heroes. I’ve decided to start where it all started for me watching The Arsenal back in the 1960s and an early favourite of mine Jon Sammels. Jon came from Suffolk, near Ipswich and joined Arsenal in 1961. He was an outstanding young prospect and it […]
This blog was written in 2012 for our sister site 1ND2OU but we thought we would re-published and jazz it up for today…. “Arsenal since I’ve been born, best night of my life was Anfield in May 1989 – Love life, most people and all Gooners!” Amanda (@GoonerGirl1969) with a hugely receptive audience it is […]

For most of us Arsenal is a big part of our identity and as such the identity of Arsenal is a big part of who we are. But what happens when a big part of that identity is torn away? For those who have followed the team for ages this may not be a big […]
The new season is right around the corner and I’m excited! Apart from the fact that I will be able to watch my beloved Arsenal play almost every weekend, so many questions surrounding the adequacy of Wenger’s squad and transfer business over the summer will start finding their answers. Questions regarding his philosophy will also be […]
For a couple of years now I’ve tried to grasp the concept of Arsenal and Tottenham hating each other on all levels: from fans to the board. I do realise that emotions are irrational. You hate someone just because you hate someone. Full stop. And yet, and yet… Surely fans aren’t born with this. It’s […]
Welcome back to my 2-part series of posts on dealing with change as a fan. I suggest you read the first part here for some background. George Graham’s Era to the Fans & the Wenger Parallel George Graham won 6 trophies with Arsenal – 2 league titles, 2 League Cups, 1 FA Cup, 1 European […]
This post is a little premature; but, the combination of my disinclination towards transfer rumors, trying to get into the mind of Arsene Wenger to offer opinion on squad requirements, and the close season, I thought I’d address an event that is inevitable: Arsene Wenger leaving Arsenal Football Club. This is post that is broken […]
