The Premier League season drew to a close yesterday and some of the results were, how shall I put it, quite unexpected. Aside from us thrashing West Brom (I think even the most optimistic of us couldn’t predict such a scoreline), we have: Burnley beating Aston Villa away despite being relegated long before the game, […]

Time to rest Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla and Giroud all dead on their feet against Sunderland – But for who? MOZART Please!
If you came here today to see me bemoan the dropped points, you can turn right around because I won’t. I probably would have done that had we lost, but when your team attacks for 90 minutes out of 95, manages 28 shots and has 76% possession, well, that’s what I call an effort and […]
A is for Arsenal and A is Wenger’s Plan – There is no Plan B but Kondogbia is it.
I think that we can all agree that last night’s match was dreadful to watch. Sunderland came to the Emirates with only one idea: stifle the match and earn the draw that they needed to stay up. Sadly, it seemed that Arsenal only arrived with one idea too: pass it around the edge of the […]
Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
The defeat by Swansea proved that Arsenal CAN win the League not that we can’t
The defeat I was as surprised by the Swansea defeat as anyone, but I was more surprised by some of the fans reactions afterwards. I don’t consider myself an AKB, and certainly earlier on in the season I thought Wenger should go, but I’ve come to realise that perhaps I was wrong and I thought […]
Technology broke Gooner hearts – but this Villain’s tears cheered us up…

Alexis, Monreal, Coquelin – The Bermuda Triangle where opposition attacks disappear!
Hull Hull had a very specific plan in place for us. It was a good plan, and it had worked against Liverpool, but we are (by some distance) a better side than Liverpool, and where the strengths of the plan paid off against Rogers side it’s weaknesses were mercilessly exploited by us. Another problem that Steve […]
4 Games in 13 Days for our best finish in 10 years as up to 22 fight for 11 places at Wembley :-)
I finally got around to watching the Hull vs. Arsenal match yesterday (thank you DVR) – I’ve seen and heard reviews praising Arsenal’s performance. I thought that AFC were good on the day, but not as blindingly brilliant as some have claimed. It was a game of missed chances for Hull, poor refereeing from Lee […]
Who should be Arsenal’s Club Captain Next Season? – Not an easy one but have your vote!!
Hello ladies and gents, my fellow Gooners! I am sure you’ve missed me 😉 I have been away for a while due to a broken computer. I’ve missed out on many talking points and it has hurt me a lot not being able to jubilate and rant I will not lie to you but I […]
Arsenal’s Midfield – “It was quite splendid, magnificent, brilliant, thrilling and scintillating”.
What a lovely day it is. Yesterday we’ve: a) secured a 20th consecutive St. Totteringham’s Day (GT Special tribute here) b) secured Champions League football c) overcame one of the hardest hurdles during our run-in (beat away a team fighting to stay up) d) played some magnificent football e) finally, increased the gap on United […]
