Arsenal need a Berslusconi with Galliani and Braida NOT a Stan and Ivan with Chips!
Hello fellow Gooners – How did it feel to have an Arsenal-free weekend? Sadly enough, I almost enjoyed the peaceful, serene couple of days that the League Cup Final offered. Almost but not entirely as I like the Arsenal and football too much to enjoy this kind of weekends. Anyhoo…I had to give myself a long, […]
The Hero Who Strode From Gillespie To Anfield Road
All aboard the time machine. This week’s trip down memory lane takes us back to the start of the seventies to revisit a Highbury Hero who went on to re-invent himself as one of the most decorated midfielders of all time. But Gunners fans of a certain age will remember him as one half of […]
The League Cup for Arsene/Arsenal – Mickey Mouse or Mickey Momentum?
A quick look at my Twitter time line yesterday informed me, without reading the press, that Arsenal fans were debating whether the League Cup is a major trophy, aggrieved at the press praising Man United and Mourinho. The phrase ‘Mickey Mouse Trophy’ is being aired of course, by bitter Arsenal supporters jealous of United’s day […]
Arsene Wenger, The Prince who became King and then failed to Abdicate
Will Shakespeare once wrote in rhyme and high jinks That the Fans they doth protest too much, me thinks Fans driven to despair by a Prince who became King In all but name, he controlled everything It was eleven years hence I remember the hour When Arsene the Prince had expanded his power […]
Concerned Gooners – The 7th March: To Protest or not to Protest, that is the question
So, why the protest? “You’re all c.nts.” “Eff off and support Spurs.” “You’re negativity will upset the players.” “Nothing will come of it anyway.” “I’m gonna smash your face in!” Indeed, why protest! Personally, as you can see from the above, I have nothing to gain from it, bar a load of abuse or a […]
Theo Walcott – 100 Goals for Arsenal is a Notable Achievement, but what could have been…
A break from the Arsenal feels needed, so I’m going to enjoy these next 11 days before Liverpool, because I feel another sh.t storm coming once that one hits. Got the job done on Monday night just about and now face the prospect of a big semi-final at Wembley. Something to look forward to at […]
The Increasingly Curious case of Lucas Perez and Wenger’s Embarrassing treatment of him.
What has Lucas Pérez done to Arsène Wenger to justify the continuous, inexplicable, appalling lack of game time, since he joined from Deportivo La Coruña? I understand why many supporters are left wondering about the manager’s reluctance to play the Spaniard, however Arsène Wenger himself let slip some interesting words about Lucas Pérez during a […]
Wenger and Gooners – a failing marriage approaching a sad divorce
Similarly to a number of fellow Gooners, our capitulation against Bayern was the straw that seemingly broke my camel’s back (in fairness, I’m from Morocco). My disappointment was such that I haven’t been able to watch highlights or read analyses of the game, which is unheard of. I never thought I’d be capable of so […]
Wenger – Give me a Little Respect
Give a little respect to me. I’m in a a musical frame of mind at present. So for my latest ditty and Arsene’s favourite tune at the moment (or so I’ve heard), I give you Erasure & A Little Respect. Hope you enjoy the 80s throwback. I try to discover One more trophy to […]
