It’s amazing how much of a difference one win can make. Suddenly the season doesn’t look beyond salvation, the players don’t look beyond caring and the formation doesn’t look like a stop-gap solution. However what I think made this win stand out was: a) we’ve beaten a top six side b) this side is spearheaded […]

It Needs to be Rob if Wenger is ‘Holding’ on to the Back 3 for visit of United
We face Manchester United today, but the game will definitely miss the spark of an important rivalry. It’s 5th vs 6th, and even a win won’t move Arsenal above United. In the end, whether we finish the campaign 5th or 6th doesn’t really matter. I have next to no hope we can break into the […]
Wenger applauds his team’s Mental Strength – Anyone seen that team??
Talk of possessing ‘Mental Strength’ looks more mental when you’ve had a week like Arsenal has. It is just over a week since Arsenal came from behind to dispatch Stoke City relatively comfortably at the Emirates Stadium. Having trailed to a penalty midway through the first half, three goals in reply handed the Gunners three […]
It ain’t over yet: this season is gonna get REAL crazy!
Leicester may have finally achieved the unimaginable, and clinched the Barclays Premier League Title for 2015/16 – but I have a sneaky suspicion that there is more craziness to come in this lunatic season. And – as usual – Arsenal has a huge role to play. The game against Manchester City at the Etihad this Sunday […]
The Title is lost – time for Arsenal to set a new target.
Time to reset our horizons? Let’s face it, barring a miracle, if I was one of the luck punters with £100 on Leicester to win the title at 5000/1, I wouldn’t be cashing out early as all the bookies are praying they do. 5 points clear of the spuds (11 to Arsenal) 7 games to […]
Coq jumping: our super-DM gets his own meme
I know this isn’t 4Chan. Or 9Gag. Or ebaumsworld. But posting these pics on those sites would go down like a lead balloon. So I’m posting them here, in the hope that they inspire you to put Coq in his rightful (elevated/superior) place. I’ve included the transparent Coq cutout at the bottom of this post so […]
Gio: the unsung Arsenal hero that Thierry rated
Today’s Arsenal unsung hero is a bit of a left-field shout. it is a fair to say that he had a fairly unassuming Arsenal career, and there isn’t really one single standout moment from him wearing the Arsenal colours…but…for me, he was part of one of the most exciting summers that I can remember. He […]
