Are Arsenal fans spoilt? – Part 1 It’s often said that Arsenal fans are seen as both insufferable and a joke by other fanbases. I can see why this is so, but then I think to some degree it’s unfair. What prompted this piece was the latest Footballistically Arsenal podcast, in which it was discussed […]
Arsenal vs. Brighton Premier League Preview Sunday 1st October 2017 Our goodly manager is on the third of the games he complained (rightly so in my mind) about. We welcome the Seagulls to our stadium, and it’s nice to see new teams in the Premier League, especially those we don’t play in the league that […]

Arsenal 2-0 WBA Emirates Stadium 25th September 2017 – Premier League A reasonable performance tonight from Arsenal. WBA had some good chances in the first-half, and looked pretty dangerous in parts.

This has inspired me to write myself on the same subject. What George did when he returned to Highbury was […]
Our aim should be to win the Europa League. End of it. I can’t understand why it is even a debate, we’re not in the position to snub a European competition to save energies for a bigger prize – i.e. the league – since the competition for the Premier League top spot is the fiercest […]
Danny Welbeck’s new found form gives Arsenal a good type of a headache There were quite a few positives to derive from the 3-0 win over Bournemouth over the weekend. The quality of the squad and the fact it was played at the Emirates means they would win the fixture 9 out of 10 times […]
Brilliantly inspired by Dave’s blog about Jack Wilshere (by the way: it’s not Wiltshere, it’s not Wilshire, it’s Wilshere. The number of times his name is misspelled is appalling), I started thinking about how our former academy gem could actually re-build his career at the Arsenal. Our man has quite some way to go after […]
Cruelty or mercy? During J.K. Rowling’s recent BBC TV adaptation of her book Strike: A Cuckoo’s Calling, there was a line that sums up many an Arsenal fan’s plight right now. As the one legged Private Detective Cormoran Strike drunkenly lamented a story to his secretary about how he lost his leg at war in […]
