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 […]

Auba, Mkhi and Cech all grew a pair as Deeney lost his Cojones – AFC 3 WFC 0
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, […]
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 […]
Arsenal’s Stone Cold Pass Master – EPL’s Unexpected Record Holder
After a disappointing Premier League game week for Arsene Wenger and his players, there is one ray of light.

Ramsey back to his best to steal the show in San Siro – Plus Player Ratings
AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal – Europa League R/16 – San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Milan Wow. We WON A GAME….. Facetiousness aside, it’s good to win. And despite the doom and gloom in our midst, we played pretty well overall. There is one negative for me. In that it shows how well we can play, when […]
The Importance of a New Footballing Identity for Arsenal and the Possible Coaches to Provide It
Recent weeks have been an absolute roller coaster ride for Arsenal fans. The highs of prominent new signings, re-signing Mesut Ozil while breaking our wage structure, and setting yet another transfer record have given way to the extreme lows of four straight losses for the first time since 2002 and a league position 33 points […]
Remember to Support The Arsenal through ‘thick and thin’ as Class is Permanent
Glory hunters? Yes, most of us are down at the state of our club at the moment. Still, I’ve seen and read a lot of interesting comments lately. Maybe it’s just me, but then they are things I take issue with. Namely, that fans “won’t support the club again” if we don’t improve. Or “they […]
For Arsenal’s sake, Sven and Thomas need to kiss and make up
No this isn’t a chapter heading of a Sven Goren Eriksson autobiography, where somehow he falls out of love for a randomly named blue train. This is about current Arsenal chief scout Sven Minislat and former Borussia Dortmund head coach Thomas Tuchel’s rather public falling out that dates back to January 2016. The falling out, […]
