And so we are back to normal programming, everything is right with the world, Neo took the correct pill and the system has been rebooted. Gary Neville has toed the party line and laid into Arsenal’s set-piece coach, Nicolas Jover, again: (Sky Sports) “I called him the most annoying man in football recently and I’m […]
Arsenal are, at its core, a football club. Entertainment. Sport. A capitalistic, money-making venture televised worldwide to billions of viewers, ranging from the casual to the hopelessly addicted. A team to watch, to root for (or against); a team that wins some games, draws some, and loses others. A team in a sport where players […]
It’s been an emotional few weeks and my advice is to find some music to work your way through the 5 stages of grief until the six pointer against Norwich in two weeks time. 1. Denial and Isolation – Me, Myself and I – De La Soul When denial kicks in, everything loses meaning, […]
My thoughts on Arsenal 2020 In life, as in football, you won’t go far unless you know where the goalposts are. If you eat football, sleep football, breathe football, you are not mad, you’re just passionate. Playing football with your feet is one thing but playing football with your heart is another. […]

Tony Adams summed up the consensus: “At first, I thought, what does this Frenchman know about football? […]
Support The Arsenal or The Arsenal I’m not one to slag off fellow Gooners on how they support The Arsenal. It’s your choice, your opinions, your way. But recently it’s been getting beyond ridiculous. Some of the feeds I follow on Facebook and Twitter are beginning to test my faith in my fellow Arsenal […]
Plenty has been written about Arsene Wenger over the last two decades of his tenure at The Arsenal and I daresay more will be said over the decades that follow his departure, whenever that may be. As most people are aware his successes on the field came within the first decade where he awoke a […]
Occasional GT Columnist @LordHillwood let out a build up of anger at the media and pundits (cundits) with their anti-Arsenal agenda today.
