There is never a shortage of items to write about re Arsenal FC. It could be the significance of a last second winner v Burnley; the switch from Plumstead to Highbury and the pain it still causes some fans of THFC; Alex James, Jimmy Logie and George Eastham; comparing the turnaround skills of Chapman and […]
It a sunny autumn day in North London and Arsene is sat in his office reading The Telegraph when the phone rings: “Bonjour, Arsene Wenger here, how may I help?” “Hi Arsene, its Greg Clarke (from The FA) here, how are you?” “Oh Hi, Greg, before you start, the answers no.” “Now wait on Arsene, […]
As you probably know, yesterday was the first game I attended live. And boy what a good game that was. I wasn’t able to write a preview because of the whole “changing countries” thing, but if did, I would have to mention our atrocious record against Chelsea. We last won a game against the Blues […]
I fell in love with the Arsenal at a really tender age, about 6 years old, when I really did not understand the game of football, at least how much it meant to fans who supported their team with all of them; heart, soul and breath. All I knew was my dad loved Manchester United and I […]

I didn’t comment on Alex’s, as usual, well-written one because I am including some of the points raised by him in this attempt at analysing where we are after the week end. Firstly his guess at what the […]
Soon the international break will finally be over and Premier League football returns and the upcoming encounter with Southampton will tell a lot about the way Arsène Wenger wants the team to play, this season. Against Liverpool, Leicester City and Watford it was mainly the fitness levels that dictated the line-up, with some key players […]
After months of rumours, whispers and speculation, the 2016 summer transfer window is now closed. Premier League clubs can no longer do business and must make do with the players at their disposal until January at the earliest. For Arsenal, any talk of finally landing that world class striker will have to wait for a […]
Destroy. Build. Repeat. We can’t have a stress-free transfer window, can we?

We just overcame the terrifying idea of Arsène Wenger not replacing the injured pair […]
