Hi everyone! I’m just back from a wonderful road trip in Scotland and I was glad I could find out that the country responsible for the birth, rise and success of Sir Alex Ferguson is also able to produce something wonderful, which is reassuring. I explored the Highlands from west to east and back, going […]
Mesut Özil. What have you done to the media? One of the best players in world football only two years ago now called a total flop in the Premier League and Arsenal. One day you are called the best, the next you’re a total failure. Oh my what a generation. When Arsene Wenger signed Özil from Real […]
First, I must point out that I’m a man of diverse opinions. I try to dissect each Arsenal game I watch, and due to the awesome uniqueness of these matches, there are often new observations. Although I still believe so much in 4-1-4-1 and its endless benefits for this current Arsenal side, the lack of […]
He was there, most definitely. I saw him at the start before it got crowded and a little too frenetic. You could tell it was him, although he did tend to drift in and out of the action. He was gliding around on the left hand side of the room, looking a little disinterested if […]
Arsene Wenger has surprisingly not been too rigid to experiment during the start of a crucial season, with new systems and new players given time to strike a balance, and the dividends seem to be paying off now. Unlike last season’s chemistry between Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud which got the best out […]

Arsenal vs Manchester United, February .. 2014. We had just lost heavily to Liverpool and were given the chance to produce a roaring response against a team who had been having a poor season by their standards. Basically, the game was there to be won. But we played a frustrating goalless draw and didn’t create […]
“I am Summer, come to lure you away from your computer… come dance on my fresh grass, dig your toes into my beaches”. ~Oriana Green If only, If only, If only. In front of the computers they sit. Regurgitating, the same old shit. I’ve read somewhere that the Douglas Costa link, to us, was […]
Well, it’s started, hasn’t it?! Mathieu Debuchy…Alexis Sanchez…who else will arrive at N5 this summer? What a pair of signings. It struck me, last week, whilst I was contemplating life from the horizontal position of a dentist’s chair (for an hour) just how much the Arsenal transfer windows were like visiting the dentist’s. Firstly, it […]
Germany reached the Word Cup final with a stunning 7:1 demolition of Brazil last night. To be honest I didn’t expect such a performance from the German team at all. They were ruthless, mobile in every area of the field and just didn’t stop to get into the space Brazil left them. I was to […]
