The Berlin Wall to Colour TVs, a lot can happen in 55 years – But one thing NEVER does.
Since 1961 many things have happened. 1961: The Berlin Wall was built. 1962 : Marilyn Monroe was murdered, sorry, died. 1963: Martin Luther King Jr, had a dream. 1964: Mohammed Ali won his first heavyweight boxing title. 1965: Malcolm X was assassinated 1966: England won the World Cup (& Jules Rimet is still gleaming) […]
We won the League at White Hart Lane – 45 Years Ago today

In a superb article originally posted on our sister site 1ND2OU in November 2012 Gary Lawrence relives the day…… The year was 1971 The Beatles had recently officially split up, decimalisation had arrived, Ali was getting it […]
How can the Media ridicule ‘Time of Change’ Protest whilst simultaneously Ridiculing Wenger?
I completely agree with The Tzar Alex Baguzin in his article “On all the things Wenger got wrong yesterday” Please read the article if you have not already done so. I find it incomprehensible how the media can make light of the protest by calling it a waste of time and then go on to […]
1 Nil to the Arsenal – ‘Dire and Mind Bogglingly Dull’ apart from Danny Danny Danny!!
There were two big pluses to this game: we won and it took us one step closer to the end of the campaign. The performance, however, isn’t much to write home about, so I’ll start with it. The game It was dire. It was mind-boggingly dull. If I was a neutral I would have switched […]
Arsenal’s Title Jigsaw Puzzle: Higuain is the first Missing Piece
Being an Arsenal fan really tests a person’s will to live. I mean how often do we ask ourselves the following question: why do I even bother? After asking that question, we all tend to make a half-hearted promise to ourselves to not let Arsenal’s results affect our daily lives. We only keep that promise […]
On all the things Wenger got wrong yesterday
I rarely watch Arsene’s pressers, you know. It has nothing to do with a particular result, I just find it easier to read a transcript. Lately I can hardly do even that, for reasons you probably understand. Yesterday I was at uni from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. and only got home around 7 p.m. […]
THE NORTH LONDON PLAGUE. 2. THE BOARD.
After being asked by a group of friends my thoughts on what the causes of the deep rooted problems The Arsenal face are, I decided to write a three-pronged piece and not just give the now standard response of, ‘It’s all Arsene Wenger’s fault,’ though a think piece on his part in our demise began […]
5 things that should be on Arsenal and Arsene’s wish list this Summer
The past few months on Twitter have resembled Baz Lurhman’s opening to his film interpretation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, ‘’Two households (AKB’S v WOB) both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene’’ Okay so you swap dignity for petulance and swap Verona for the pitch and you get the […]
Did it all go wrong for Arsene when he became an Arsenal Fan?
This piece from a fan Graham is in direct response to the much read piece from Gary Lawrence entitled ‘Where did it all for Arsene? – It was left in the comments. The article is an interesting read and highlights some of the issues, but for me it doesn’t paint an accurate enough picture. The […]
