Us vs. Them Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur 18th Nov. 2017 – Emirates Stadium preview They’re coming here. That’s right, the club with fewer trophies than us. The club with far less league titles than us. The club with a far smaller turnover and global fanbase than us. But I love that they: – claim to […]
Unpopular Arsenal opinions These are just random thoughts I have collated over time, and based on contrary views to common Gooner opinion. Nothing presented here will be offensive to any person, though there will be some unexpected praise and constructive criticism towards the people cited here. Views and comments against or for are very welcome: […]
I feel like in the last couple of months I’ve traveled every road in terms of covering Arsenal losses. Home and away, league and Europe, big and small margin, tough opponents and weaker sides, mostly bearable and totally destructive. Yesterday’s loss to Spurs probably wasn’t anything I hasn’t been party to. As someone rightly noted […]
“On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day…”. It may almost seem disrespectful on Friday to be writing about Arsenal and if we allow our memories to recall the terrible happenings of the First World War we can quickly envisage how in November 1916 so many fellow Gunners gave their lives in service to their […]
The words “at least we didn’t lose” have been used far too regularly by some Arsenal supporters, following last Sunday’s draw with Spurs. Should we not all be disappointed that we failed to win the game rather than be relieved that we didn’t lose it? Prior to kick off, we had won ten of our […]
Ten minutes from time I was ready to accept the draw. This was born out of the simple fact we looked flat and more likely to concede than score.

My family had just emigrated from Rhodesia to South Africa. All the kids on […]
The tension is building, my stomach is churning Nervous excitement and a passion that’s burning Both sides of the divide know what’s at stake Three points forgotten, bragging rights we will take Form not a factor when the North London teams collide Rivalries long standing, friendships and families divide Who wants it more on the […]
“I’m more focused on the fact that this is more than a derby. It’s an important game for us because it’s a big home game and we have an opportunity to show that we have an interesting role to play in this Premier League, and that we can win these kinds of games too.” – […]
The North London Derby Must Be BANNED! Remember, Remember…..Don’t Mention the N Word Come on, admit it, you’re bricking it aren’t you? The North London Derby; a fixture that has given us all some of the greatest memories of our Arsenal-supporting lives, as well as some of the most gut-wrenchingly painful ones. Win the game, […]
