Brexit and hot sweaty balls
Having been back in England for the past two weeks, I’ve been a bit more immersed in the the media culture of the motherland and I have come away with a few observations: 1 – According to the media and Twitter, Jamie Vardy has gone from being a top class, must have striker, to an […]
Vardy or Aubameyang: which is better value for a flush Arsenal?
It’s been almost two weeks since we supposedly activated the release clause in Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City contract and the speculation has become increasingly tiresome. In the days that followed our alleged bid for Vardy, news also broke of Manchester City reportedly attempting to agree a deal for Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The reaction to […]
Gunners finally beaten at Euro 2016 but Ozil assist exquisite and Rosicky still a livewire
Howdy. Euro 2016 marches on and further 6 games took place in the last two days. I’ll take a look at 3 of these, simply because the other 3 weren’t nearly as interesting. Germany 2-0 Ukraine Like with the hosts, the first thing that instantly draws your attention to the German team sheet is a […]

Is it Definitely Koscielny PLus 1? Are Per, Gab and Callum not fit for the 16/17 challenge?
The silly season is upon us again and the result is fans being treated to transfer rumours of varying credibility almost on a daily basis. We all know the holes Arsenal need to plug this summer (one we already did), but we are still some distance off having a complete squad. My conviction is that […]
The Ties That Bind: Chance Encounter with an Arsenal Hero
Arsenal Circular 149 With the close season upon us Victor Thompson gave me – unwittingly – a phrase which prompts me to write this Arsenal Circular. He kindly said that he enjoyed reading about “gems of history” – Arsenal history. In Arsenal Circular 148 I mentioned an encounter at Lords yesterday with an elderly Bury supporter […]
If Jamie Vardy is the Answer what on earth is the Question Arsene?
If Jamie Vardy is the answer, then I’d love to know what the question is. This is such a left field *signing from Arsene, those fans who were screaming for change and ranting for Arsene to change his policy, not even in their wildest imagination did they ever expect this. I have had a week […]

2016/17 – The Arsenal without the Internet Last Friday I was lucky enough to attend the end of season supporter’s event at the Emirates, which included Q & A sessions with Ivan Gazidis and Lee Dixon.
