Wenger v Mourinho or Arsenal v Man United, still suffering ‘Post Alex Ferguson Stress Disorder?
The International Break is over at on Saturday lunch-time The Arsenal are back, and back at the home of one of our traditional rivals. Most of us hate Spurs the most, it’s our cultural DNA. But United, possibly due to the Wenger/Sir Alex rivalry, rank highly. And whilst many United fans don’t like us, they […]
World Cup holders Uruguay to face Chile tonight – as UFWC continues…
With the interlull taking too long as ever, I thought I’d introduce you to one of my favourite football books (& websites) for you to peruse, whilst waiting to hear how may players we’ve lost to bloody international injuries.

Anfield and Copenhagen Hero Smith – More than just a Smudge in Highbury Folklore
This week we’re going back to 1987 for this week’s Highbury Hero, when George Graham made one of his greatest ever signings. This man played a major role in almost all of George Graham’s trophy wins and was in my opinion one of the best centre forwards ever to play for The Arsenal – The […]

The Gunners who grew from an Arsenal Armaments Factory Respectfully Remember the Ultimate Sacrifice
“On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day…”. It may almost seem disrespectful on Friday to be writing about Arsenal and if we allow our memories to recall the terrible happenings of the First World War we can quickly envisage how in November 1916 so many fellow Gunners gave their lives in service to their […]
Too many Gooners saying “At least we didn’t Lose” after the NLD – Unacceptable
The words “at least we didn’t lose” have been used far too regularly by some Arsenal supporters, following last Sunday’s draw with Spurs. Should we not all be disappointed that we failed to win the game rather than be relieved that we didn’t lose it? Prior to kick off, we had won ten of our […]
