It can be tough seeing Arsenal players leave. Not always… there are definitely players who overstay their welcome – [INSERT NAME HERE] – but occasionally a player has wormed his way into your heart, for whatever reason, and saying goodbye can be tough. Granit Xhakaʻs goodbye made me think about some of the other players […]
A sad moment has just passed, Santi has left the building and rejoined Villarreal. In my mind an Arsenal legend, a touch of class in a team that was falling apart around him. In an injury ravaged 6 year stay at The Emirates, Santi managed just 129 games, with a scoring rate of a goal […]
It’s one of those times I’m not quite sure what to write about. The task gets decidedly more complex owing to the fact I watched the game live. For some reason I just cannot follow the game from the stands the way I do in front of the TV screen. Oh well. Let’s see where […]
Howdy. It’s Hull we face on Saturday, while all being preoccupied with one single question: is there life after death? Well, strictly speaking it’s what point there is in the rest of the campaign after a failed title bid?, but I just wanted to add a bit of drama. Because clearly there is not enough […]

I have just seen the news and comments on TV regarding the Hull match. I am delighted with the result and the performance however I am very disappointed to see the banner produced for Arsene Wenger`s attention. I am well known as a critic of Arsene but there are two messages on the banner – […]
Captain’s log star-date something something something point 2. I’ve been sitting in my Captain’s chair for 8 hours staring at the stars on the viewscreen. I’m so bored. I want to start a war or something to spice things up. I’m gonna hail the nearest Klingon ship and call them something rude. That’ll liven the […]
As I write, less than a week on from that unforgettable day at Wembley, I’m already starting to see some of the focus shifting from winning the FA Cup to who we should and aren’t going to sign this summer among other things, and the bitching has started in earnest. Fine, if that’s your bag, […]
