Having collected the maximum six points from our last two fixtures, the mood has certainly improved among the clubs fan base in recent weeks. Despite this, the two goal victory at Bournemouth which got us back to winning ways two weeks ago, wasn’t enough to curtail the disagreements between Arsenal supporters on social media sites. […]

Alexis, Coq and Elneny come through Unscathed & Iwobi continues to impress! – #FACupAFC2BFC1
Another Arsenal win in the bag, another sigh of relief at the final whistle. It wasn’t the most convincing win, nor was it the most unconvincing either. There were moments of Arsenal possession and domination whilst creating some chances; there was some purpose in the Gunners’ play till the first goal. Burnley’s equalizer was, of […]
Arsenal – ‘Great Pretenders’ or genuine ‘Title Contenders’ – Do we have the ‘Guts?’
Steven Howard in today’s Sun continues with his critical note about our prospects to win the Title. He calls us “The Great Pretenders”. It makes for a good headline but in fairness to him he makes a point that is on the minds of all of us. Have we got the inner strength? Can we […]
Wearsiders Worry Wenger’s Winners will Worsen the Woes of their Weakened team
So we begin our second defence of the FA Cup in as many years. Successive triumphs in 2014 and 2015 were my first trophy winning experiences as an Arsenal fan and it was then I realised how stupid arguments such as ‘It’s only the FA Cup’ or ‘The League Cup is not even a major […]
‘IF’ This is not the most Positive Assessment of Arsenal’s Current Status…….
There have been some thought provoking events in recent weeks. Yes, I am talking about injuries and since then we have had a load of people talking about how Wenger has to be held responsible for it. My colleague, Alex of the Tsar Cannon has come up with a post right here where he talks […]
Arsenal are no good at Set Pieces – Fact or Fiction? Find Out here!
When Olivier Giroud scored the opening goal from a crossed Mesut Ozil free-kick in our game against West Brom, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only Gooner who felt that the team had been scoring a lot more frequently from set-pieces this season. I have commented on it myself on my blog, and I’ve read […]
‘The Theory of Alexis’ and it’s Five Key elements explained
This week’s post will be inverted. First the Honourable Mentions, then the Stellar Moments and finally the Star Man. And let us not kid ourselves here we all know who that is. Honourable Mentions: Olivier Giroud: He made himself a possible target in the box every time there was one needed and his run ahead […]
Mesut Ozil – Yesterday’s Star Man reaching Bergkamp-esque levels for the Arsenal
Saturday night I realized that the channel broadcasting the Everton match was not available on my TV subscription. The channel’s official website was hosting a live stream (if you can call it that with the delay in place) so I opted to listen to commentary on Talksport radio instead, so that I could watch it […]
“Why should I subdue the world, if I can enchant it?” – Mesut Özil
DER ZAUBERER – The Wizard I aimed to have the title of this piece bear the name of one of the purest talents to ever grace the hallowed turfs of the Emirates Stadium, Mesut Özil, but I failed. This is not because I didn’t try, but I woefully failed, to find an adjective worthy enough […]
If Wenger trusts in this squad so will I – Collective Faith must be repaid though
Today’s blog is not about transfers, I am more than glad that the circus left yesterday and I want everyone to go back to football. Once you see that the usually serious BBC asking self-elected Football Manager experts to give their views about the impact of this or that player, based on their saved games, […]
