I have just read the articles by Alex Baguzin and Marble Halls and rather than reply to them I have chosen to write this one. I shared Marble Hall`s intention not to berate AW for the next two years, not because I had changed my mind, but because the owner and the Board do not […]
It’s been a while since I wrote back home. Pardon such an abrupt disappearance from your radars, dear readers, but I’ve had an incredibly busy summer, much more than I could have imagined, or, indeed, would have liked. What I also couldn’t have imagined, and something I certainly don’t like, is that Arsenal had a […]

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted something. I hope you’ll pardon this self-imposed exile from your truly, but, akin to last season’s loss to United, the crushing defeat to Bayern Munich proved one too many for me. I don’t have any idea whether things will go uphill, in fact, I do not […]

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 […]
For very long time, so-called small teams used to apply an ultra-defensive approach when facing technically superior opponents, sitting deep in their half and tightening spaces available for their rivals. As they couldn’t compete on technical level, they HAD TO find a different way to avoid a heavy defeat and hopefully bring a point […]
Now Robbie Savage states that, “Arsenal’s board have a decision to make – do they want three more years like this (season) or do they want trophies?” and that; If he was on the board at Arsenal, he would grasp the nettle this summer and bring in a new manager. Robbie Savage: The well respected […]
The cupboard is quite bare when it comes to inspiration for writing but I would like to comment on some of the trends seen in current Tweets and on social media in general. These range from the ongoing split in the AW for and against camps to rumours and suggestions on possible transfers. The “Go” […]
