Remember this Highbury Hero and what he represented
I’m going back to the 1980’s for this weeks Highbury Hero. When David Dein first clapped eyes on this player he said l’ve seen a young player who plays like a Brazilian. Next May will be a quarter of a Century since he last kicked a ball for The Arsenal. Yet the Arsenal fans still […]
Top 5 Key Significant Learning Points from Gunners Victory over Sunderland
Well the win over Sunderland was predictable, well, if it wasn’t Arsenal, enjoyable, if it wasn’t Arsenal and thought provoking as Arsenal performances always are.

Gunners New Squad Strength in Depth and the Spreading of Goals give cause for Belief
Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer.

Image courtesy of ‘You are my Arsenal’ It’s Sunderland away and I remember how hard it has been for us to beat the Black Cats either home or away for the last two seasons, no matter who was in charge. There was that 2-0 away with a brace from Alexis after Mannone spilled his beans […]
Hi Arséne – God Calling… A Day In The Life of Wenger
Arsene is sitting in his office after a hard day’s training, which is getting easier these days as he doesn’t have to keep calling the doctors to deal with Jack, when his phone rings. “Hi Arsene, God here. How are things?” “Not too bad, son. Long time no hear!!” “Yeah, sorry – been a bit […]
Better The Wenger You Know…
My interest in football articles and in particular those associated with Arsenal was drawn to a number of articles in which the common subjects appeared to be praise for Wenger for the performance of the current team and severe criticism for the ineptitude of Man Utd`s recent managers. Kroenke in particular remarked on the difficulty […]
