My interest in football articles and in particular those associated with Arsenal was drawn to a number of articles in which the common subjects appeared to be praise for Wenger for the performance of the current team and severe criticism for the ineptitude of Man Utd`s recent managers. Kroenke in particular remarked on the difficulty […]
Following Granit “The Rock” Xhaka red vs Swansea and Arsene’s comments: “It looked harsh to me butut it was a deliberate foul. It looked a dark yellow – and the referee went for a bright red. I have heard on the grapevine that Wenger is proposing a new card system to FIFA called “Wenger’s Inferno” […]
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 […]

DB’s Season Diary – Part 2 Right then, there’s been a whole lot of Arsenal going on since we last spoke, so I think the best thing is to do what Wayne Rooney does when he sees a Post Office queue on pension day and just get stuck straight into it…… Last week saw us […]
What I took from the PSG match. I was mystified when I saw the team selection. No Xhaka, No Giroud. Ospina for Cech? At the weekend I assumed that Xhaka was not selected because he was being saved for this match. The same applied to Giroud and I could not believe that Wenger would repeat […]
I have just read some very interesting articles today and apart from Alex`s I have left comments. 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 […]
