One of the interesting traits of human nature is that we tend to look for confirmation of our views. We also seem to be pretty consistent in our views: that means we don’t change and adapt them each time we find out something new, something that disproves our theory. It is normal: Thomas Bayes, an […]

Relief, Belief, Joy and an Emotional Post Cup Final Win Out Pouring of #GlobalGoonerPassion
Where do I begin? What do I talk about? Ozil’s touches, gliding, passes? Theo’s reverse pass for Monreal? Sanchez’s screamer? The chuffed expression on Mertesacker’s face after his goal? Coquelin not putting…no…our defensive unit not putting a foot wrong? Santi being Santi? It was SUCH a commanding performance it was a little underwhelming! Unless you’re […]
Now THAT Is How You Play A Cup Final! – The complete team performance
Arsenal were brilliant yesterday, smashing Aston Villa 4-0 at Wembley in the F.A. Cup Final. Arsenal are now the 4th team in the history of the F.A. Cup to successfully defend the trophy, an outstanding achievement. Of course we have done it twice. This was also a totally different match to last year’s final vs. […]
Theo’s pace in attack brings back vintage Arsenal
After some very frustrating matches this month against the likes of Swansea and Sunderland where we couldn’t break either sides down Theo’s recent inclusion has been very refreshing. I didn’t have the chance to post last week but a point I wanted to make was that West Brom took the same approach as Swansea & […]

Ramsey stakes a claim to central berth as Santi fades after Wenger’s subs inspire comeback
Well this is awkward. We all know how people tend to overlook the performance in the context of the result. Of course, it’s fair to say this is mostly wrong: down the years Arsenal fans have seen good performances aplenty only to see the Gunners consequently lose the match. Many started supporting Arsenal for the […]

Alexis, Monreal, Coquelin – The Bermuda Triangle where opposition attacks disappear!
Hull Hull had a very specific plan in place for us. It was a good plan, and it had worked against Liverpool, but we are (by some distance) a better side than Liverpool, and where the strengths of the plan paid off against Rogers side it’s weaknesses were mercilessly exploited by us. Another problem that Steve […]

4 Games in 13 Days for our best finish in 10 years as up to 22 fight for 11 places at Wembley :-)
I finally got around to watching the Hull vs. Arsenal match yesterday (thank you DVR) – I’ve seen and heard reviews praising Arsenal’s performance. I thought that AFC were good on the day, but not as blindingly brilliant as some have claimed. It was a game of missed chances for Hull, poor refereeing from Lee […]
