The Day The Season Died: Man City 2-1 Arsenal
I’m really not kidding with that title. I had not written much about Arsenal recently, because there was not a lot to complain about from my side. Ramsey was injured (always a positive for me when he doesn’t play) and the team looked like they were capable of grinding out results against most teams, aside […]
Mesut Ozil ‘The Invisible Man’ disappeared with Arsenal Statement of Intent at the Etihad
The last time I felt like this was in late February. We lost two games on the trot too back then: United away and Swansea at home. I guess it hurt more, simply because these defeats put paid to our title hopes. But our current form does have a lot of common with our February […]
Early hope, hope dashed then hope shattered: Arsenal (except Alexis) roll over (again) for their title rivals
It’s exactly 6:03 pm GMT as I type this up. I have never typed up a column so soon after a game, because I want my columns to be bereft of any rashness and thoughtlessness. Case in point, today. After sitting through 94 minutes of what was an appalling, heart wrenching and devastating loss to […]
Will Arsenal Be Able To Keep Hold Of Both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil?
With the January transfer market about to open Gunners fans will be hoping that their team can secure the long-term signatures of their two star men Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. Both players’ contracts are due to expire during the 2018 summer and the club has started contract talks to try to tempt them to […]
Would it be Folly to Start with Olly? Or will Alexis remain and the team stay the same?
Howdy. We visit Manchester City today and this presents the team with a chance to right the wrongs of the midweek game. It will also be an attempt to make up at least some ground on Chelsea, who are currently nine points clear at the top, albeit with a game in hand. However, you have […]
The Evolution of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez and their Arsenal roles
Evolution always has positive and negative effects in every form. Take Orcas discovering Great White sharks can become a tasty snack. It was discovered off the Farallon islands, Orca’s ram the oceans most feared predator in the side to flip them on their backs which brings about ‘tonic immobility’ making the shark go into a […]

A Christmas Gift from Arsene to the Fans – Proactive Substitutions before the 70th Minute?
In the immediate aftermath of our defeat to Everton, I read a summary of the game on a social media site, that I couldn’t have worded any better myself. It said simply; “it might be nearly Christmas but we can’t afford to be giving away these type of presents” and the author of the comment, […]
Lewin in and Lewin out at Arsenal? As Gary wants his old job back!!
“Arsene, it Gary, Gary Lewin, how are you me old mucker” “Bonjour Gary, I’m good, how are you? Are England treating you well?” “Well Arsene, as it happens, not so good. You see, they’ve appointed the pizza guy as England manager… And, well, it looks like I’m out of a job” “That’s poor form, you’ve […]
Arsenal didn’t lose that game- Everton won it
I have long criticised Arsenal for not trying, poor tactics, Badly coached defence etc. Now here we are having been beaten 2-1 by Everton which on paper should have been a fairly straightforward task. Many Arsenal fans, especially those who travelled to the game will be traipsing out one or more of the above complaints, […]
