Wenger In or Wenger Out – We can still respect each other and back The Arsenal
As we head into the weekend that could well represent the watershed for Wenger and Arsenal in 2016/17 and beyond, we are delighted to present a lovely and quite unusual piece from ‘The Arsenal Circular’, Graham Perry. Tomorrow our beloved Gunners will walk out at Wembley in an FA Cup Semi Final with so much […]
More than a Formation Change, Arsenal needs an Intervention
Hello Gooners, I hope you are satisfied with the win at the Riverside Stadium, although the performance wasn’t as convincing as it should have been. There’s been a lot of talk about Arsène Wenger’s decision to play three centre-halves and two wing-backs, a lot of people were surprised by this sudden change and so was […]
The Power Card: Do Arsenal Hold An Ace Up Their Sleeve?
Do Arsenal have an ace up their sleeve waiting to be played? It’s no secret, Arsenal Football Club is a sporting entity that runs itself differently. This contrast lies in the inordinate amount of decision-making placed in the hands of the manager while the Board and organizational personnel handle matters behind the scenes. The irony […]
Remembering Arsenal’s Senegalese Powerhouse and Highbury Hero

But “context is everything”. […]
If Arsenal miss out on the FA Cup, will it be the end for Wenger?
Arsene Wenger has enjoyed some incredible moments with Arsenal, no more so than when he guided his men to an unbeaten campaign in the 2003-2004 season, while he has landed the Premier League title on three occasions during a 21-year tenure in north London. However, his last top-flight title remains the one garnered by the […]
Wenger has sucked the joy out of watching football
In 2007 I watched Arsenal drew away to Liverpool at Anfield and it felt as though we had won the match. Arsenal went down by a goal scored from a free kick by Steven Gerrard on the ninth minute. Arsenal put pressure on Liverpool for the rest of the game, playing some of the best football […]
If Napoleon Wenger truly loves Arsenal, he’ll do the right thing
Marble Halls has written a very good article in Gunners Town which I recommend our readers to read. I was going to respond to the article as a reply but there are many issues raised in it that I think are better set out as an article in response to his. I don`t think anyone would disagree […]
