Since the year dot there were Wenger out signs and a certain Frenchman speaking cagily about his future, there were also all number of people linked with his job. Football is a funny thing, in very few other professions do people get linked with your job with such certainty, lack of respect and candor. So […]
The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum: Wenger Has Lost Control
The lunatics have taken over the asylum!!!! And to be fair, given the recent results, they can do anything they want!!! The rumour mill is in full effect, with stories of moles and player revolts. Apparently the players have covertly taken control of the team, as, in their words, “we need more help from the […]
Wenger Don’t Do Tactics: Settling The Debate
A fellow contributor here, Mr. Dougie Cazorla, made a great piece on how Wenger does “do tactics”, but not well enough. I agree with his analysis in very large part. However, I think it is a valid criticism, albeit stretched and distorted somewhat. So, using my best colloquial/non-Standard English: is the notion that Wenger “don’t […]
AFC 3 WFC 0 – Auba, Mkhi and Cech all grow a pair as Troy loses his in The Battle Of The Cojones
When I sat down to write this review it suddenly hit me I cannot recall the last time I wrote about an Arsenal win. I went ahead and checked … It was on December 29, a 3-2 win over Palace. Now, admittedly, it’s partially my fault. I couldn’t cover the win over Chelsea in semis, […]
Mesut and Mikhi pull the strings as Deeney loses his ‘Cojones’ – Arsenal 3-0 Watford
Arsenal 3-0 Watford We had the cojones…shame Deeney didn’t…. In a way it’s funny, since not only was “cojones” a major trending word on Twitter, it has triggered us Gooners in a big way. And rightly so, since Deeney’s comments in our loss to Watford were true, though in highly poor taste. However, we […]

The Talented Mr. Welbeck
After seeing Welbeck play well and finish poorly vs. AC Milan, and seeing “The Talented Mr. Ripley” from my film collection, I’ve been musing on the “Talanted Mr. Welbeck”. Is he a bad player? Did Man United sell us a dud? Is “Dat Guy Welbz” ‘not Arsenal quality’? Let’s see, shall we? No, he’s not […]
Aaron Ramsey – Welsh Messi or Welsh Mess? World Class Attributes or World Class?
A short piece from me while it is on my mind after three particular conversations on social media about Aaron Ramsey, the ‘Welsh Messi’ – that may give you a clue about who one of the ‘unbiased’ conversations was with 🙂 With Arsenal generally in a state of transition on and off the pitch, the […]
