Olivier Giroud should get the nod as Gunners aim to stop the road rot: West Ham preview
In a few short hours we take on West Ham and it’s fair to say this game doesn’t look nearly as straightforward as it did two weeks ago. Back then we have battered Huddersfield at home while West Ham was at the wrong end of a pasting at Goodison Park. This in itself tells you […]
Global Gooners – how and why Arsenal (and Wrighty) should embrace its foreign fans…
Global support, Wrighty, and change…. How global support has changed from the past…. Ian Wright (Wright Wright) is a certified Arsenal legend, and a major reason why I am a Gooner.

Southampton 1 – 1 Arsenal: Woeful Gunners Steal Last-Gasp Point
Southampton 1-1 Arsenal Barclays Premier League Matchday 16 St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton That was poor. Like last week vs. United. Like the Stoke away game earlier this season. Like numerous games last season. Or the season before that. Or several seasons before that. Yes, we did well to get a point in the end. But […]
Record Equalling Giroud papering the Arsenal Cracks as on pitch failings increase
Before the game I genuinely thought we would see the Gunners respond to last week’s injustice at the Emirates. The rested during midweek squad started fully, with just one, rather predictable, exception: Mertesacker for Mustafi. It’s a change a championed myself to a degree in my preview, though it still came second after switching to […]
Floundering Mertesacker, Hot Headed Xhaka and the Incompetence of Referees
I have just watched the match on TV and I was resolved to post a blog on the game when I sat down to write it and I saw Alex Baguzin`s preview. As usual he was pretty accurate in the make-up of the team and he identified the threats of the opposing team. Unfortunately he […]
Momentum of Back Four or Solidity of Three for St Mary’s? That is the Question!
It’s a visit to St. Mary’s today, and it marks the beginning of a somewhat simpler run of fixtures for the Gunners. Our only top 6 team this calendar year is going to be Liverpool on December 22. The we face Chelsea on January 3, with games against Palace and West Brom sandwiched in-between. Spurs […]
Arsenal 6 – 0 BATE Borisov: Satisfyingly Boring
Arsenal 6 – 0 BATE Borisov Emirates Stadium Europa League Final Group Stage Match BATE were NOT much of a threat tonight, despite them needing a win to qualify. Wenger started a 433 formation, which was effective in beating BATE. However, the game overall was satisfyingly boring. It seems odd to say, but it’s true. […]
Perfect Gooner Christmas present: a little Highbury in your home! (Exclusive Discount)
Gooners will always hold a special place in their hearts for Highbury. As beautiful as the Emirates is – the art deco facade of Arsenal’s old stadium was stylishly eye-catching, and placed it in a class of its own. Arsenal Stadium (its proper name) was built in 1913. In the 1930’s the site was redeveloped and […]
