I am a lover not a fighter, but if one more pundit slags off Arsenal… Ok so hey,I think it’s time I actually introduced myself, I’m James, a Leeds lad brought up around the blood and thunder football of Leeds United, I was taught many things growing up in Yorkshire, mostly to despise Manchester […]
Reality Bites – it’s a Sign of the times Old Skool movie, New Skool tune Music: Harry Styles New Lyrics: TheSundayMorningGooner Just stop your crying It’s a sign of the times Welcome to the new reality We’re now competing with 5 teams you see We can’t expect to win it all every year The competition […]
I am going to get straight to the point; I am concerned about the immediate future of Arsenal Football Club. To many, that may appear to be an overreaction. Especially when taking in to consideration, that with the exception of the five teams currently sitting above us in the table, every club in the country […]
Following the comments I made to Faisal Mohammad`s blog I have read many reports of the City Game and other blogs on Gunners town. The consensus of all of them is profound disappointment with the Arsenal performances of late. The causes which are cited are also almost universal. They are 1. No commitment 2. No […]
I’ll get this out of the way first: we were crap. The performance scraped the bottom of the barrel. In fact, it was almost a negative number on a scale of 1 to 10. We were utterly abject, insipid, completely disinterested in getting a result. There was no urgency to our play, no desire, no […]

But United, possibly due to the Wenger/Sir Alex rivalry, rank highly. And whilst many United fans don’t like us, they […]
Winning the games “we should win”, and the new red card laws explained in detail Another week, another two wins. This is becoming something of a habit now isn’t it? Not bad after an international break either. I feel the need to apologise in advance for the amount of quotation marks in this week’s […]
A couple of thoughts on the nature of the league, as of now. Take a look at the table, we sit 2nd on goal difference but level on points with Manchester City who were the runaway leaders at the start of the campaign. The Media darlings, as we would say. Yet, there is absolutely no […]
Football is about love and hate, success and failure, goals and misses. We see things in one dimension and there is little grey. Such an approach does not help us to assess Mourinho. We need some grey, some flexibility, and some give and take. So let me start at the beginning and say I loathe […]
