Seasons don’t fear the reaper and Gooners shouldn’t fear change! – The Times they are a-Changin’
Given our all too predictable self-imploding demise this campaign we have seen our manager’s future come back into question. The Old Trafford debacle and Swansea shower seemed to break more straws on more camel’s backs than ever before. Then in the aftermath of such collapses comes the usual concerns with changing Le Prof. People voice […]
Into the valley of Death go the Gooners – Cannon to the left, Cannon to the Right but these men has a Cannon on their Chest
Half a league half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred: ‘Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns’ he said: Into the valley of Death rode the six hundred We mock The Spuds, for their cup final season after season, as we ride into the […]
Arsene Wenger – An Idiot’s Portrait (Of A Fading Legend)
Hope for the best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We’re unrehearsed. ~ Mel Brooks Wise words indeed. Chelsea, City, United and Liverpool – been rehearsing their little money-bag bottoms off; buying all the players. And then along came Leicester. In football, anything can happen, and it usually does. What is God? —Well, you know […]
Wenger has built a Palace but not all inside will worship him for it
Yesterday thanks to Dave Seager who kindly obtained two tickets for us, my son and I traveled from Belfast to London to see our beloved Arsenal play Swansea. It was also an opportunity to spend some time with a seriously ill relative who is about to undertake major surgery. She is my only surviving relative […]
The Fish Rots From The Head – Arsenal needs a culture shift
Another visit to Old Trafford, another shambolic performance. I don’t bother with anger anymore. If a decade of resignation has taught me anything, it is that while the situation at Arsenal is helplessly rigid, emotion simply isn’t worth it. Pessimism has been a faithful ally of mine over the years; I’d recommend it to any […]
Alexis and Ozil rested for visit of Swansea ahead of NLD – Risky Strategy or needed?
In the absence of Alex, our usual previewer I have stepped into the breach today. After all, he had to make himself write the review of the Old Trafford Horror show and deserved a rest. Anything else would be editorial mental cruelty on my part. My style of writing does not lend itself to […]
Top 4 Questions for Arsene Wenger – When? Why? Who? WTF!
When? Why?, Who? And WTF For the first time, I am beginning to question Arsenal and Arsene. Sunday capitulation has raised so many questions they are too numerous to list here and most have already been covered in various blogs in the Gooner World. Hopefully not to rehash the same points, I’ve listed my questions […]
Gooners rightfully upset, but have they crossed the line?
ARSENAL CIRCULAR 136 GRAHAM PERRY 1 MARCH 2016 The knives are out – not just for Wenger but also for me. Wenger’s critics – haters is a more appropriate word for some – are in full flow and those of us who have been prepared to put their heads above the parapet and support Wenger […]
Manchester United 3-2 Arsenal: when it all comes crashing down
When the match squads were announced, I started to feel reasonably confident. After all, United could only boast the returns of David De Gea and Marcus Rojo (the latter sustained an injury during the game and limped off). None of Jones, Valencia, Smalling or, most importantly, Martial recovered enough to even make the bench. And […]
