“Arsene, it Gary, Gary Lewin, how are you me old mucker” “Bonjour Gary, I’m good, how are you? Are England treating you well?” “Well Arsene, as it happens, not so good. You see, they’ve appointed the pizza guy as England manager… And, well, it looks like I’m out of a job” “That’s poor form, you’ve […]
I have not been around much nor have I written much but since my interview with the Bournemouth blogger about Wilshere, Jack had been on my mind. Yesterday I noted he had played 5 consecutive 90 minutes in the Premier League for the first time in 4 years, apparently. Today I heard the AFC Bournemouth […]
Given the fixture this Sunday I thought it would be timely to catch up with a Bournemouth die-hard with no agenda to find out how our prodigal son Jack Wilshere is really doing. I got some time with Steve at Cherries site ‘Tales from the South End’ a renowned AFC Bournemouth blogger. First a bit […]
Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer. Things had started well, with Granit Xhaka’s acquisition from Borussia Monchengladbach in May an encouraging start, but the weeks of inactivity that followed seemed to indicate at best a gross incompetence with regards to transfer dealings, and at worst a […]
Greetings fellow Gooners! I hope that your respective summers helped you rejuvenate yourselves and recover from the madness that was last season. Since the last time I posted here, we leapfrogged the scum to finish as runners up in what can be described best as a close second to the comic Lasagna-gate. It was certainly […]
In one single moment his whole life got turned around, he stands there for a minute staring straight into the ground. Looking to the left slightly then looking back down, his world feels like its caved in, proper sorry frown. “Please let me show you how I can make this work for us, I can […]
Two weeks later than we had all hoped, our season finally started at Vicarage Road last Saturday. An impressive attacking display, consisting of both pace and purpose during the first forty five minutes, ensured that we went in to the interval, three goals to the good. With the points practically secured during the first half, […]
After months of rumours, whispers and speculation, the 2016 summer transfer window is now closed. Premier League clubs can no longer do business and must make do with the players at their disposal until January at the earliest. For Arsenal, any talk of finally landing that world class striker will have to wait for a […]
Destroy. Build. Repeat. We can’t have a stress-free transfer window, can we? The signings of Granit Xhaka, Skhodran Mustafi and Lucas Pérez seemed to finally complete a squad that was desperately calling for reinforcements, but the joy didn’t last much. We just overcame the terrifying idea of Arsène Wenger not replacing the injured pair […]
Hello. Game week №3 is nearly upon us, which means we are about to see our players don the blue (gray?) and yellow once again, before the international break kicks in. This time around a win for the Gunners is absolutely vital, even though not all players will be available still, to say nothing about the two […]
