It’s been a while, Gooners! I’ve been away on holidays and then very, very busy when I got back to work (coincidence?), which hasn’t left me any time to write my usual, weekly column for this wonderful community. I am back and I couldn’t be happier. Although disappointed by the fact that I couldn’t really […]

The Arsenal Rolling Stone gathers no moss – Criticize Wenger, he don’t give a t*ss!
But if you try sometimes – you just might find – you get what you need Words by Wellmington, TheSundayMorningGooner Music by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards Olympiakos arrived at the Emirates And we thought it was in our own hands They turned up and got one over on us They turned up and out-fought […]
Alexis, Ozil and Walcott Unplayable as The Gunners turn up for a big game in a big way
Barely have I finished watching the last replay of Sanchez’s delicious near-post heel flick, that the picture disappeared from my screen. Despite me watching a regular broadcast (yes, I made it in time) and not a stream from some website. I was calm for two reasons: I know such a thing sometimes happens and I […]
Excuse me, Mr. Wenger – where’s the buck stop?
This past week saw another disappointing night for Arsenal. Once again, we lost to a team that we reasonably expected to beat – Olympiakos had never won on English soil, and we have beaten them a few times before. Despite scoring twice, we still managed to lose the match after conceding within 60 seconds of […]
Deja Voodoo: Arsene’s Magic touch fails us (again)
After an impressive pre-season complimented by the addition of Petr Cech, I had started to consider against my better judgement that this season could perhaps be the one where Arsene would at last prove to his critics that he had finally learned from his past mistakes, however, despite my early season optimism I have once […]
Maureen’s like a 12-year-old at a school disco.
The one who wishes he was King! I know that a lot of my recent blogs have been regarding the comedic antics of everyone’s favourite clown Maureen, but he makes such bloody good copy !!! The self appointed ‘Chosen One’ seems to spend more time in his pressers waxing lyrical about Arsene and less about […]
Spuds peeled, but how to deal with foxy Leicester?
NLD Nothing eases the pain of a derby loss than a derby win, especially against spurs. Wenger now has a decision to make. If Coquelin is out for a while who does he pick to play next to Cazorla? The obvious answer would be club captain Mikel Arteta, but Flamini made a good case for […]
Costa’s claw blinds pundits; brings more shame to the game
Saturday was a farce of a football game, if we can even call it a football game. After that Gabriel red card, it was difficult to continue watching the television screen under the belief that you were witnessing a football match played at the very highest professional level. It’s a game that left a bitter […]
Arsenal 2-0 Stoke: profligate Gunners get the much-deserved points
I’ll start my review with two simple facts: Jack Butland would be my MoM if I could have voted him. The man made 10 saves. That’s more than Petr Cech against Liverpool (8). If you can’t enjoy the win and the performance because Arsenal were quite profligate again (or for any other reason), I suggest […]
Gabriel and Kos are the future – No Longer Business as PER usual
When the line-ups were announced ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Newcastle last Saturday, a bizarre feeling swept through me. It wasn’t the glaringly obvious omission of Mesut Ozil that caused a stir in my mind, nor was it the selection of Theo Walcott as the side’s spearhead. Instead, I found myself overwhelmed by a huge […]
