I thought as we haven’t any Arsenal games until we play Manchester City on Easter Sunday I’d have a bit of fun by looking at the present team who in my opinion are the best side we’ve had since the Invincibles and comparing the two sides and seeing how many of the present team I […]

Our Transfer Dealings would be different with David Dein – In Praise of our former Vice-Chairman
Yesterday I posted a tweet saying I wished David Dein was still conducting Arsenal’s transfer affairs. This caused quite a reaction with fans either agreeing or mentioning all the bad things they considered he did to the club. There is no doubt he made plenty of mistakes along the way. However, I think overall the […]
Judas to Spurs but Double Winning Invincible Highbury Hero to Gunners – Sol Campbell
Just a relatively short hop back in the time machine to the summer of 2001, when Tottenham’s captain crossed the great divide in the most sensational Arsenal transfer of them all.

Kristian Bielik: Real Deal or Arsenal Hype (From The Horse’s Mouth)
By James Howson (Gunners Town Scout) Over the years Arsenal have had some of the best centre backs in English football, players like David O’Leary, Sol Campbell, Tony Adams. Of recent times Laurent Koscielny has been a key figure at the back but although he’s been a top performer, Arsenal have struggled to be as […]
If Wenger is right on ‘Last Year of Contracts’ it is the end of Football as we know it
“Yes, I think in the future you will see that more and more. Players going to the end of their contracts. Why? Because transfers become so high, even for normal players, that you will see more and more players going to the end of their contract because nobody will want to pay the amount of […]
Wenger’s FA Cup Journey – Loved, disrespected, needed, loved again and now ‘Last Hope for Glory’
It is a strange time to be an Arsenal supporter and the emotion or feeling that sadly most adequately describes my state of mind is ‘resigned’. It seems highly likely that come the summer now we will find ourselves entering a new era with a new manager for the first full season in 21 years. […]
Arsenal’s route to the Champions League final
Arsenal’s route to the Champions League final Back in May 2006, Arsenal were just 14 minutes away from winning the Champions League for the first time. Talismanic defender Sol Campbell had nodded the Gunners in front before half-time against Barcelona, despite a red card for goalkeeper Jens Lehmann in the 18th minute; Arséne Wenger’s side […]
