A (SAD) tale of a once mighty football club
A (sad) tale of one football club As you have likely noticed, my absence on here has been… considerable. The reason is simple: having a full-time job required more of my time and energy than I thought it would. So, having just left my place of employment, I thought a summary of my time there, […]
Stripping Xhaka as captain: The final nail in the Emery Coffin
The gripes that many of the Arsenal fans had at the beginning of Emery’s tenure were often assuaged by assurances that the board were quietly and efficiently putting together a structure that looked beyond the current incumbent. The promotion of Freddie Ljunberg to assistant coach, the introduction of Edu as Director of Football and Per […]

Class is one thing – but ruthlessness is another – time to fully join the big Europeans club
Most Gooners are now Emery Out. I am too, and the Sheffield United defeat was my personal tipping point. I don’t think he can take the club forward anymore. However, should we sack him, there is a thought amongst fans that grates me, to some extent. Would it be “un-Arsenal” to sack […]
When better is still only average – Another Emery Formation, another lead surrendered!!
‘When Better is Average ‘ Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was the Arsenal board then yesterday’s game would have troubled me more than all the others. Why? I’d say that when you’ve had a group of miserable performances and then (finally) play better, even if it’s a little better, and you still […]
Another Limp and Conservative Emery Low – AFC v WWFC Review/Player Ratings
This is another low – as we surrendered another lead and this time it was to Wolves. A draw was perhaps the fairest result as Wolves had chances – and overall had more shots on goal than we did. Yet again, we’ve been out-shot, and this isn’t on. Wolves is a decent side, and they […]
No Mourinho here thanks – Despite his love of Classy Mesut
I cannot understand why so much paper is being foolishly stuffed with talk about Mourinho. He was audacious, self – opinionated and quick to disparage other managers, but he was successful which of course increased his Ego. He was brash. An Inter fan christened him “The Special One” when he joined them and thereafter he […]
Liverpool 5-5 Arsenal [5-4 Penalties]: ‘A Seminal Moment at the Crossroads’
‘A Seminal Moment at the Crossroads’ Any day now it’s about to happen. The Arsenal board will arrive at the crossroads. They have to decide. Most certainly a seminal moment in our recent history. Even though this game was the least important (finally a fun fest for the fans), it once again exposed Emery. We […]
Empty seats at The Emirates – What can be done to correct this?
I don’t hold a season ticket but I try to attend as many games as possible. I’m just a Red member, though I’m at position c. 20,000 in the season ticket list or so…. However, it’s not a good look if a club like THE Arsenal has some empty seats available. It doesn’t look good […]
Dark Days for Club, as Arsenal seems to lose its Way
“We are all humans, we all have emotions, and sometimes it’s not easy dealing with them. It’s time to lift each other up, not to push each other away. We only win when we are together.“ These fantastic words are just a well constructed, diplomatic and compassionate way of trying to help, to defuse and […]
