Three Saints came marching in to the Emirates – One has marched out and the other 2…
In January 2006, during the winter transfer market something very very strange happened. Arsene Wenger signed on three new players, Abou Diaby, Emmanuel Adebayor and Southampton starlet, Theodore James Walcott. Yes, you read that right, THREE players. Each stayed at The Arsenal for a length of time to varying degrees of success, but of that […]
Anders Limpar, the original ‘Super Swede’ – Highbury Heroes
For this week’s Highbury Hero I’m going back to the early 1990s to talk about our original Super Swede Anders Limpar. When he trotted onto the pitch last Saturday, it brought back so many great memories of him. Hard to believe it’s over a quarter of a Century since he signed for The Arsenal and […]
Just when you thought Koscielny could not get any better, he did, thank God!!
Recently a habit I had for some time, bubbling under the surface, started to get the better of me: a habit of turning my back on the TV when there’s a dangerous situation near our or our opponents’ goal. Not when such a situation arises from open play, I mostly have free-kicks and penalties in […]
How Will Arsenal Fare With An Increasing Injury List?
Arsenal is powering their way through the Champions League, but not without issues. As well as many injured players, could Arsenal’s manager be getting cold feet? Arsene Wenger has admitted that he had been repeatedly courted for the PSG job, conceding that their president Nasser al-Khelafi had offered him the job on three separate occasions. […]
Alexis, Perez, Giroud, Iwobi, Walcott and Chamberlain – Which 3 from 6 v Saints?
Hello everyone. Club football is back again and thank Christ for that. It feels like every Interlull is worse than the previous. I’m sure that’s my memory playing tricks on me, there’s no obvious reason why the breaks could be getting increasingly frustrating, but there you go. Anyway, we have a delicious Saturday of footy […]
The Interlull is Over (thank god) – Fantasy Gunnerstown Part 1
Thank God, the interlull is over and the season can start, again, in earnest. To all you who entered the Fantasy Gunnerstown League, thank you. The rest of you….why not? Congrats to Graham Hayward and his “Fish Chops XI” for taking out Fantasy Gunnerstown Part 1, with a massive 1 point lead over his […]
Analysis suggests Perez brings more to Arsenal than Vardy or Lacazette would have
A common theme seems to be occurring with myself and Arsenal signings, which is I know very little about them. So as with Xhaka and Elneny I’ve looked at the stats behind the man to try and infer what kind of player were getting, unfortunately stats have zero bearing on centre backs so Mustafi and […]
Not ‘AKB’ or ‘WOB’ the new Fashionable Gunner Acronym is ‘MA’ – Get on that Fence
DB’s Season Dairy is back Well, that’s another transfer window done and dusted then. It was a bit of a weird one really seeing as for most of it, it seemed we were in for the meltdown of all meltdowns, then we signed a couple of players before the Sky Sports sponsored Transfer Deadline Day […]
The Midfield Pairing to back is Cazorla and Xhak – That is the Short and Tall of it!
I don’t know about you guys, but I will be the first to admit that I came to support Arsenal quite by chance when I was 13. Back then I knew little of club football, except for this Ruud van Nistelrooy jersey that an aunt had bought me. I also had a Ronaldo jersey, the […]
