Yay, Gooners, the transfer window is open! Too bad we already finished our business by signing Petr Čech… Yes, I do believe our squad is complete already: we added a reliable, experienced and the points-winning goalkeeper we have been lacking since David Seaman. The Czech will provide some extra security to our back line and […]

Who will be next season’s surprise Superstar? 2013/14 Ramsey, 2014/15 Coquelin, 2015/16 ???
One thing I look forward to every season is which player, who was previously doubted will step up to the plate and make himself undroppable. We tend to have this scenario every year and what I love is that it’s always in a position we need someone to step up in most. The obvious most recent […]
At least 2, Mert and Giroud, not good enough for the Arsenal Spine – Hard Hitting Truths
Transfer season is upon us and the rumours have begun. We’re being linked with all sorts of player across Europe and it has got the more naive supporters anxious. Some are more relaxed and some are convinced we don’t need to add much, at all if anything. I have to strongly disagree. If we’re happy with […]
Walcott, Rosicky and Wilshere in with Giroud, Cazorla and Ramsey out for final?
Having followed Arsenal since the late 1990s, I have seen a lot of success come our way. I was fortunate enough to see many of Arsenal’s top players of the day on TV playing and winning important fixtures in that time, like Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Marc Overmars, Ray Parlour, Patrick Vieira… the list goes […]
Result & Performance v West Brom now CRITICAL – We need lay down a marker to frighten Aston Villa
Despite more or less nailing third place, the West Brom game has become massively important. Not because it’s a chance to use some squad players and rest our big guns, and not because it’s our last home game of the season, but because we need to show Aston Villa that their game plan won’t work. […]
Time to rest Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla and Giroud all dead on their feet against Sunderland – But for who? MOZART Please!
If you came here today to see me bemoan the dropped points, you can turn right around because I won’t. I probably would have done that had we lost, but when your team attacks for 90 minutes out of 95, manages 28 shots and has 76% possession, well, that’s what I call an effort and […]
Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
Who should be Arsenal’s Club Captain Next Season? – Not an easy one but have your vote!!
Hello ladies and gents, my fellow Gooners! I am sure you’ve missed me 😉 I have been away for a while due to a broken computer. I’ve missed out on many talking points and it has hurt me a lot not being able to jubilate and rant I will not lie to you but I […]
Arsenal’s Midfield – “It was quite splendid, magnificent, brilliant, thrilling and scintillating”.
What a lovely day it is. Yesterday we’ve: a) secured a 20th consecutive St. Totteringham’s Day (GT Special tribute here) b) secured Champions League football c) overcame one of the hardest hurdles during our run-in (beat away a team fighting to stay up) d) played some magnificent football e) finally, increased the gap on United […]
No semi is easy – Team changes, impressive Reading and Martin Twatkinson made this one harder…
That was nerve-racking. Much more than any of us would have liked. After the game I rushed for my validol. I know a couple of my friends who rushed to pubs or their secret alcohol stashes to ease the pressure. But we made it into the final and, first and foremost, I want to clear up […]
