We are nearly half way through the summer transfer window and Arsenal have still only made one major signing. For many Arsenal fans this is a frustrating time of year. We are usually linked with some top class players with proven goal-scoring records but never actually go in for them. But what we do […]

Is Wenger Bold enough to make tough decisions for a new Arsenal formation?
Our dear Dave (@Goonerdave66) recently turned 50 (Happy Birthday!) and decided to celebrate with the 1,579,698,741,258th tweet about how Arsène Wenger should turn to a 4-3-1-2 formation to take the best out of Alexis Sánchez, Olivier Giroud, our plethora of anarchist central midfielders and our full backs. Although personally never a fan of such system, […]
Granit Xkaka kills 2 Birds with One Stone – The Numbers behind the Noise for Arsenal Central Midfield
Arsenal have kicked off the summer transfer window by signing Swiss central midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach. And as delighted as one is by the prospect of the skipper of Germany’s 4th best team coming to our club, I must confess never really seeing much of the player. I’m not prepared to […]
Wenger suggesting Protesters are taking a lead from the ‘Big Ego’ of Piers Morgan is insulting to Gunners
As the season draws to a close, it is not a sense of sadness or even disappointment that engulfs me but one of relief; Relief that the summer break from club football will at last provide me with a timely respite from what has become a toxic environment during a disappointing and emotionally exhausting campaign. […]
How can the Media ridicule ‘Time of Change’ Protest whilst simultaneously Ridiculing Wenger?
I completely agree with The Tzar Alex Baguzin in his article “On all the things Wenger got wrong yesterday” Please read the article if you have not already done so. I find it incomprehensible how the media can make light of the protest by calling it a waste of time and then go on to […]
5 things that should be on Arsenal and Arsene’s wish list this Summer
The past few months on Twitter have resembled Baz Lurhman’s opening to his film interpretation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, ‘’Two households (AKB’S v WOB) both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene’’ Okay so you swap dignity for petulance and swap Verona for the pitch and you get the […]
Not sitting on the Fence – The Case for Arsene Wenger’s Defence
We are at the crossroads. Either Wenger goes or Wenger stays. Get two Arsenal fans together and that is the sole topic of interest – To Go or To Stay. The case for him going is strong. This season was ours. We had the squad; Wenger had spent on Cech, the much acclaimed final […]
Hammers don’t want Ox or Theo but would let Bilic sleep with their wives – #WHUFC v AFC
It’s always refreshing to write something about Arsenal after we’ve had a couple of good results. While I am long past the stage where an Arsenal defeat will ruin the next few days, the constant supply of ‘Arsenal-bashing’ via papers, blogs, YouTube and horrible Chelsea fans means you end up getting caught up in the […]
Tonight in Busquets we face the Prototype of the player Arsenal need
Tonight we are facing arguably the best defensive midfielder in Europe – and 7-times Dive of the Year award winner – Sergio Busquets. I hate to write this but he’s the prototype of the player we’re missing at the moment: extremely comfortable with both feet, well disciplined and aware of his positioning, tidy on the […]
Arsenal playing for Pride at the Camp Nou and to find form for Goodison Park
Writing a preview for what should have been a fabulous occasion for Arsenal football club is not a pleasant task. At 0-0 will 20 minutes to go at the Emirates in the first leg against Barcelona Arsenal had matched Europe’s finest and could even have been ahead. To leave the Home leg goalless and to […]
