So here we are one day on from the news that Wenger is stepping down from his role as Manager of Arsenal Football Club, after 22 years at the helm. We are unlikely to see such a tenure again in the modern game and arguably nor should we. Today is not the day for scoring […]

Thanks for making the right decision for The Arsenal and thank you for the Great Memories
I am writing this after hearing the bombshell news of Arsene Wenger stepping down as Arsenal manager at the end of the season. I do not know if it was his decision or if the club pushed him into it but either way, what is important is it is the best decision for both Arsene […]
Remember to Support The Arsenal through ‘thick and thin’ as Class is Permanent
Glory hunters? Yes, most of us are down at the state of our club at the moment. Still, I’ve seen and read a lot of interesting comments lately. Maybe it’s just me, but then they are things I take issue with. Namely, that fans “won’t support the club again” if we don’t improve. Or “they […]
Time for some happy Arsenal Memories to Cheer you up!
There’s been a lot of talk about what’s wrong with Arsenal lately. And while it’s natural to get depressed when the product on the pitch isn’t up to par, it’s important to remember we have plenty of reasons to be proud Gooners. We are the Arsenal, after all. To help everyone feel a bit better […]
Learning from the Invincibles: why Transitional Identity is Vital if Arsenal are to Progress
Think back to the Invincibles Era and try to remember the brilliant moments that have come to encapsulate it. I’m guessing most had some modicum of direct, forward-thinking play that progressed us rapidly into the next phase of attack: how I define Transitional Play. It seems the best teams of late have had a clear […]

Arsenal Fans: Insufferably Spoilt? Or Are They Entitled? Part 1
Are Arsenal fans spoilt? – Part 1 It’s often said that Arsenal fans are seen as both insufferable and a joke by other fanbases. I can see why this is so, but then I think to some degree it’s unfair. What prompted this piece was the latest Footballistically Arsenal podcast, in which it was discussed […]
Anti Gunners Media Agenda? Or Simply Arsenal Fans Paranoia as Club merely gets the treatment it deserves?
There is no agenda by the media. Enough of the paranoia The media aren’t stealing your thoughts. No need for the tin foil hat. Look, there is no “media agenda” against us. They don’t hate us, nor are they all closet Tottenham fans reveling in our “demise”. I see numerous fans online who make these […]
Troubleshooting Arsenal: You Have A Virus, Please Update Wenger OS Immediately!
Why did Wenger change? The recent defeats have made me more pensive about our club than usual. I have said I am Wenger Out for some time here, but then I guess it’s part of my personality and my own vocational experience to be analytical. I have often been involved in roles requiring problem-solving/organisational operations, […]
‘Best Attack Ever’?! Arséne, your memory fails you
Arsene is a square peg and the players are a round hole. The Arsenal Way Fast, fluid attacking football, with an emphasis on counter attacking. That is the Arsenal way, or should I say the Arsene way, because we certainly didn’t play that way under George Graham or Bruce Rioch. Perhaps I should even say […]
