Many of us flock to the computer in the morning to read the latest blogs by serial Arsenal bloggers Arseblog and Gunnerblog. There are many other solid blogs out there, but those two always struck me as the two largest from our kin. Most of the time I agree completely with what they say, and […]
[heading size=”8″]Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2 – Frailties Exposed As Arsenal Endure League Cup Exit [/heading]Arsenal crashed out of the Capital One Cup after a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. Whilst it wasn’t an “end of the world” type defeat, any kind of loss to those bellends is a particularly unpleasant one, but […]
POINTY, SHOUTY, MATTY Missing in action May 5th 2008 was a sad day in Arsenal’s history. It was the beginning of the end for the (In my opinion) best Arsenal squad since the Invincibles (current squad excluded). Monsieur Mathieu signed for AC Milan. Many fans, at the time, felt he had left too soon, stating […]
Having been in Budapest this time last week, I’m back and ready to throw at you some Gooner gibberish, after a rather life-expectancy shortening weekend. We shan’t go into details. Despite my antics, I still found enough time to dedicate to watching the Arsenal three times in just over the space of a week. While […]
Crystal Palace 0 Arsenal 2 – Superb Szczesny Keeps Arsenal In Pole Position Arsenal continued their strong form away from home with a 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park yesterday.

It was by no means a shameful display […]

Dear Mathieu Flamini. The Flamster. I’m sorry. I’m sorry from the bottom of my stinking cold heart. Years ago, when Flamini left Arsenal, I was upset. I was more upset than Samir Nasri was when he/she looked into a mirror and saw that he/she resembled an ugly 37 year old French lesbian. Now at the […]
[heading size=”5″]The Inter-lull: Parts 1 and 2[/heading] Part 1: And did these feet in ancient times….. Should England be for the English? Jack Wilshire has stirred the jingoistic hornets’ nest with his recent comments: “The only people who should play for England are English people, if you live in England for five years it doesn’t […]
Last week I wrote about Flamini’s huge impact as a result of the instillment of fighting spirit. This week I look to address the tactical dilemma that has arisen now that Arteta, who previously occupied the defensive midfield/pivot role, is back to full fitness. I want to look at whether it is necessary for both […]
