Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]

The 6 potential successors to Arsene Wenger at Arsenal
Good afternoon Gooners. Well, the European adventure is over then for another year, although, unlike Spurs, Arsenal won’t be scrabbling around for old copies of The Sun to get their ‘Go to France for a Tenner’ vouchers in order to get back over there… The dragging saga that is Arsene Wenger’s future is still going […]
Premier League bottlers Arsenal entertain Europa League minnows Sheriff Tiraspol; What if?
Week Thirteen – What If…. Two huge games this week, the sort of games that are the reason we all love football. A week made more exciting by the fact that we go into this week in decent shape after going five points clear at the top of the league at the weekend. I’ve spoken […]
BOOM! Wenger Klopp’s Dortmund’s Heavy Metal – Post match reflections
Through The Never – Metallica’s groundbreaking, rip-roaring, 3-D thrash metal of a movie following a roadie’s adventures during their live show.

Arsenal target Piszczek could add to Dortmund exits as the two German giants prepare to do battle
Doppelpass The week gone by so fast and I’m back with another edition of Doppelpass. Since my last post Roberto Mancini has been fired, Wayne Rooney handed in a transfer request and Sir Alex Ferguson went into retirement. What a week that was.
