After the events in midweek an Arsenal fan would be forgiven if he were found to be hoping for a draw at the Liberty Stadium. I was also one of those people even despite knowing that Gomis was not at his best. All the hope and ‘cohesion’ in the world would be soon forgotten in […]
If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that I’m generally outraged at Russian commentary and commentators. The commentators generally fall into two categories: just incompetent at providing correct and interesting insight and those who are anti-Arsenal on top. There is actually a third category: neutral commentators who are pretty good at their thing, […]
There is a saying in Russian which goes like this “Осталось только день простоять и ночь продержаться”. In English it will read roughly “You must hold out for a day and a night only”. I don’t know if there’s an equivalent in English, for two reasons: I was never really good at proverbs and use […]

The season is over & the tabloids were right; We finished outside the Champions League spots, Sanchez was a waste of money & was a flop, Ozil continued float on the fringes doing nothing for the team, Our defence was shocking, We had no depth in midfield and Our strike force couldn’t hit a […]

Everyone knows we need a screening midfielder, that world-class striker we’ve been promised, probably a world-class goalkeeper, maybe another centre-back but definitely no mention of a winger.
