From Blind Alleys to Happy Valleys – Arsenal v Watford Player Ratings with a difference
We are still without our superb Match reviewer who returns next week for West Ham so I thought I would step in again with some player ratings instead. It was a hugely enjoyable performance from Arsenal yesterday and the only disappointments came off the pitch and not on it. The 7th minute response to Rocky […]
Wenger’s Arsenal 2016 – A Leftover Kebab from the night before, limp and lifeless
I often post the GT blogs in Arsenal Fan Groups on Facebook and they often prove popular and frequently cause some debate. Nowhere is the debate stronger and more lively than in the Arsenal Away Boyz Group. Alex Field is one of the most active group members and today Alex sent me a response to […]
If the Best Pundit Neville can’t succeed why listen to those criticizing Wenger who have not tried management or failed at it
No question it is a difficult time to be an Arsenal supporter. Things are not easy. There are a number of problems. We are under-achieving. This was to be our year. We were settled – funds at our disposal, just signed a top keeper and the season beckoned. But we have fallen short. Premature to […]

15 Years, 15 FanTributes – David ‘Rocky’ Rocastle an Arsenal Legend Remembered
If you are an Arsenal fan born in the mid-1960s – as I was – you were probably a tad late to truly latch onto a favourite player in the 1971 Double winning side. Although for obvious reasons I have latched onto Geordie Armstrong. There is something about the combination of flair with a work […]
5 things Arrogant Arsenal and Wenger must do to WIN again and keep WINNING
I hate these International periods – just when we should be accelerating into the final phase of the season, when most of us are off work we have day upon day away from our passion. Watching Arsenal. Talking about Arsenal. Worrying about Arsenal… …wait! we can still worry about Arsenal – OK, here goes! Time gets […]
Granit Xhaka Scouting Report from Switzerland, not from FIFA!
Sky Sports Germany and many other media outlets are sure: Granit Xhaka will be a Gunner next summer. I don’t know how reliable the source is but rumors are getting stronger and stronger, so perhaps there is something solid behind them. There’s no smoke without fire, they say. Who is Granit Xhaka, by the way? […]
Have Arsenal truly missed their best chance in a decade to win the league? Maybe/Maybe Not!
The lion’s share of our fans’ disappointment at how this season is shaping out to be is linked with a simple fact: our traditional rivals are underperforming. City and United are 4th and 5th respectively, while Chelsea sit in 10th place. In a campaign where all the big boys are struck with such a malaise, […]
Wenger is mistaken in his Criticism of Arsenal Fans – By attacking the Minority he insults the Majority
Having frequently criticised Arsene in the past, there will undoubtedly be some members of our fan base who will hold the view that supporters like me, who openly question our manager, take some form of enjoyment from seeing him come under increasing pressure from fans and the media. However, the reality is that the sadness […]
