Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal: the reckoning
I sometimes do that thing where I take the manager’s comments from the post-match press conference and explain just why all the shortcomings he points out in the team are his fault. Or, rather, I did that thing. I did it when I was still reading what Arsene had to say. Now I don’t. I […]
Liverpool preview: the Gunners should adapt to survive
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted something. I hope you’ll pardon this self-imposed exile from your truly, but, akin to last season’s loss to United, the crushing defeat to Bayern Munich proved one too many for me. I don’t have any idea whether things will go uphill, in fact, I do not […]
With No Ozil Wenger to revert to 433 at Anfield?
So here, Arsenal find ourselves having not played two weeks beginning the ‘annual’ week that defines our season. With three matches in three different competitions in eight days, come March 13th we as supporters will have a good idea what the remainder of the season may hold for us. The reason I have said the […]
Is Wenger on a additional Bonus to take Flak for a Cowardly Board?
Wow! It has been eons since I last published anything here. Eons because once again, they did it again, let millions of souls down that is. I don’t know how but my colleagues here at Gunners town have been incredible. They have been able to find resolve somehow, to talk about this team we love, […]
With Arsenal at a Crossroads now as they were in 1995 – Which is the Right Road for the Future?
1995 and today…..some key parallels. 1995 was the last truly “bad” year for Arsenal. Things weren’t good. Maybe it’s being spoilt by Wenger, I don’t know. But good or bad are relative terms. Compared to pre-Graham even, it was in some ways our worst season since the mid-1970s. Namely: We finished 12th place Bar Seaman, […]
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 […]
