Penny for your thoughts? Whatever anyone says about Mike Dean, both reds were reds. Angel Gabriel shouldn’t have let Costa get under his skin and he should have been cleverer about his retribution (talk to Keown) and not undertaken a minor Beckham in front of the ref 2 seconds after getting a yellow. As for Santi’s, […]

Is Mike Dean to blame for a Decade without a Title or is Arsene?
It must be said the game on Saturday was incredibly frustrating and it’s certainly fair for us to feel hard done by but I really didn’t expect anything from the game regardless, we wouldn’t have taken anything in the end I’m certain, there’s no way of proving this but Wenger’s poor record against Jose is […]
Stoke, Zagreb, Giroud, Arteta and Chelsea up next – The Arsenal week in perspective
Stoke I never felt that Stoke were a threat last weekend, partly because they have a terrible record against us at the Emirates, but mostly because they were without two of their best players in Affelay & Adam, whilst Bojan still doesn’t seem to have recovered from his injury last year and didn’t start the […]
The Most Premier League shots conceded v The Most Premier League shots taken – CFC v AFC
Our first big game of the season has finally arrived and it’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This will probably sound smug, especially in the light of our midweek demoralising defeat, but I don’t think we’ve been better suited to beat Chelsea in the league for a long time. The reason is simple: their atrocious form. […]
“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 […]
Oliver Norgrove answers your questions
I struggled to think this week. Arsenal news and events were limited by an International break, and with the transfer window closed, gossip has been temporarily restrained as well. It is currently Thursday evening, and up until this point I have failed to think of a sensible topic to address in this column, so have […]
Arsenal History proves squads can improve and win without signings – 71 and 02 Double Winners?
Post transfer-window, one of the arguments I saw posed by fans was that the current squad cannot win the league because the current squad hasn’t been able to do so for the last two seasons. On paper, that makes sense. How can the same group of players, who have failed to put up a challenge […]
Arsenal had CF and DM cover in place so if no signings incoming why loan to Hull??
After reading Alex’s blog on Sunday and some of the other blogs this week from David Glicksman, Petit’s Ponytail and Steve Wellman, there are a few points that I’d like to raise about the transfer window and some of the positions that the Club has taken with regards to the squad. I was one of […]
It is what it Is! – Don’t lose your excitement in this squad and their togetherness due to lack of signings
It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]
If Giroud makes you angry then the anger should be reserved for Wenger not the player
I am not the biggest fan of Olivier Giroud, you know it. Many times in the recent past, on this same site, I told you how much in my humble opinion the Arsenal needs a different kind of striker or how much better and option Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck would be, compared to the […]
