So, it’s coming. Us vs. Them. 60,000 ground vs. 62,000 ground. And 30 major trophies vs. 17 major trophies. And a league title won in recent memory vs. a league only fully remembered by the very elderly. That lot has had some issues lately since Pochettino has made some public statements perhaps showing […]

Newcastle United 0-1 Arsenal review Premier League – 11th August 2019 It wasn’t a classic and flowing Arsenal. But it was a winning Arsenal. Spurs, Liverpool and City all won by more, but then we still did well to get the win. Our star forward, for me, played like a prime Thierry Henry […]

Let us relax – Arsenal transfers and angst We as Gooners know the drill, right? We’re all anxiously checking Google, Twitter, Facebook, or any online media (or any media, full STOP) for news on transfers. We hear stories that “personal terms have been agreed” for x player. We then read that “y player […]
I must say I don’t mind Liverpool. The City of Liverpool itself is a hallmark, for its history and culture, and the club generally follows this lead. So this Gooner, unlike some others, doesn’t hate them. I cannot really bring myself to hate a club that allowed Sir Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, or more […]
