Much has and will continue to be written about Bukayo Saka and his exploits in the famous Arsenal shirt. A shirt, lest we forget, that he has worn since he was 7 years old. 2 seasons ago, after the disappointment of non-selection for the 2020 FA Cup win, still aged only 19, virtually singled handed, […]
My first visit to Highbury was in 1976, and I have been attending Arsenal matches fairly regularly since the early 1980s, when my parents finally allowed me to make trip across to North London on my own. It would be fair to say therefore, that I have heard and sung hundreds of fabulous and frankly, […]
The One Hundred Just feel gutted about Saturday’s result, we didn’t deserve the decisions, we didn’t deserve the result, but we do deserve constant referees and we do deserve consistent use of VAR. We also passed a milestone; Gabriel became the unenviable 100th Gooner sent off in the Premier League. So, here is my […]
As the dust settles after the summer transfer window, the Arsenal fanbase are left time to reflect over the international break. Often, we do not welcome the brief hiatus but on the this occasion the 2-week gap in the Premier League programme is warmly embraced.

The next subject in my series on Arsenal Youth Stars is Daniel Ballard, recently in the news for making his debut for Northern Ireland before taking his first team bow for Arsenal.

Just a random post in this pandemic-initiated lockdown….. If looking at British players (from the four UK FIFA-registered associations – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), which players would feature? We’ve had many top foreigners. Some of the best ever non-British players to grace the country’s league at any period have been at […]
The season isn’t even at a midway point yet and fans are starting to question many issues from player selection, the manager or the promises that Josh Kroenke has spoken about over the summer. With this in mind I think it’s time for something a little light-hearted and more of a what if? Taking away […]
A dark day in the history of Arsenal Football Club As Bob Dylan once said “The time’s they are a changing” I’ve been going to watch The Arsenal for well over 50 years now and must admit I was shocked and embarrassed by my fellow Arsenal fans reaction when Xhaka’s number was held up on […]
Tierney, Bellerin, Holding Will their arrival alone lead to better defending? Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, and Kieran Tierney are all young and promising defenders, who Arsenal haven’t had the time to bed in this season. Bellerin dipped a little in the past couple of seasons, though he stepped up before his injury at […]
