Coquelin, Chamberlain, Ospina and one more change tonight? Arsenal v Ludogorets
The Champions league is back and Arsenal face Bulgarian team Ludogorets Razgrad. It will be the first time these two have ever met. Ludogorets were only founded 15 years ago in 2001 but have been in Europe that last 4 years so this isn’t new to them and I’m sure they won’t be fazed by […]
It is clear Wenger needs to look to solutions on Arsenal’s vulnerable left flank
I am going to cut to the chase here; I think Saturday’s mixed bag of a display from Arsenal identified more problems on Arsenal’s left than was exposed by the speed of Barrow. Selecting a team to challenge in any given match and indeed for the Premier League has to be about the right balance […]
Breaking News – Dark Yellows & Bright Reds – Wenger’s new 7 levels of hell
Following Granit “The Rock” Xhaka red vs Swansea and Arsene’s comments: “It looked harsh to me butut it was a deliberate foul. It looked a dark yellow – and the referee went for a bright red. I have heard on the grapevine that Wenger is proposing a new card system to FIFA called “Wenger’s Inferno” […]
Atrocious refereeing, Xhaka’s idiocy and Swansea’a resilience could have cost us – But heh they didn’t!
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Kidding, kidding. It was gut-wrenching, nail-baiting and hair-raising, but we held on in the end. Despite atrocious refereeing, Xhaka’s idiocy and Swansea’a resilience. Each of these three factors could have cost us, indeed I can name a handful of occasions when below-par refereeing, one individual’s mistakes or opposition’s stubborn […]
A Granit Swiss Rock or a Returning French Coq to bash the Swans? – No birds harmed in the writing of this blog!!

Will Theo Walcott ever come good? Or has he?
After yesterday’s hilarious spoof on Walcott retiring from international football we can forget what Theo does or does not do for his country and enjoy what he ca do for Arsenal. His early season form back on his original right flank role seems to be paying dividends and his has five goals and also two […]
Theo Walcott announces his retirement from international football!!
Following yet another dismal performance by England, Theo called a prezzer to announce his retirement from international football. Since breaking into the England squad at the 2006 World Cup at the tender age of 12, Theo has played 46 matches for The Three Lions, with a low return of 8 goals. Theo’s England career has […]
Swansea Beware as Arsenal look for payback for last season’s home defeat despair
Last season was meant to be our season. At New Year’s Day 2016 we were many pundits’ tip for the Title – partly because we were playing well and partly because other teams were floundering. It didn’t happen and we found ourselves in a fight – successful – for second place. Not to be […]
Arsenal’s Greatest Enforcer or just another tall ‘Storey’?
My Highbury Hero this week is another legend from the 1971 Double team. Arsenal’s famous enforcer Peter Storey; the man who kept Arsenal’s Double dream alive by scoring a last minute penalty, against the World’s number one goalkeeper Gordon Banks. Storey had a reputation as a hatchet man. There is no doubt he was […]
