Champ or Chump? What will Theo Walcott’s Legacy be?
The Arsenal have, over the decades been blessed with players of tremendous skill, fight, and most importantly, the will to learn and be better than they initially were. We always mention Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Viera, Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg, Tony Adams and a select few when the topic of the greatest players to […]
It’s Time to Outfox the Foxes – Gooner’s Love Affair with ‘Le Coq’ to resume on Valentine’s Day
Howdy. Matchday №26 is looming large (in fact it’s already upon us at the time of me writing this), however, I think I won’t make a grave mistake by assuming most eyes will be fixed on Sunday’s fixtures and not so much on Saturday’s. It is understandable: the top 4 teams are playing one another […]
Arsene Wenger IN or Arsene Wenger OUT? – Part 2- Wenger IN
The comments on Part I are appreciated and I say again that it was only an aggregation of the views held by many others – NOT my personal view on Wenger. I would like to point out Mr. Victor Thomson as one of the most civil people I have ever had a disagreement with. Sir, […]
Arsene Wenger IN or Arsene Wenger OUT? – Part 1- Wenger Out
Last week I talked about how our targets for next season would pan out if we were to lose the title this season, and as promised in that piece I am back with another question that is soon going to become pretty big in the ultra-divisive Arsenal fan circuit: Do Arsenal need Arsene Wenger to […]

New Year, Same Old Problems – Can Arsenal Turn Things Around?
The greatest threat to Arsenal’s title chances, is Arsenal. We seamlessly transition from the stratospheric heights of sublime perfection to the abysmal depths of hopeless ineptitude. When Arsenal fans are knocking on heaven’s doors, they are advised to declare that they support Arsenal. The range of emotions that one experiences as an Arsenal supporter is quite […]
Wenger’s Surprise selection pays off – Arsenal and Ox back in the game!
Courtesy of Shoot Magazine for whom I write a 2 weekly column I was fortunate enough to be at the match as their reporter so I will be stepping in for Alex our usual match reviewer as he is on holiday. There was some surprise when the team news showed Gabriel retaining his place alongside […]
Bournemouth preview: Gunners seek to end their winless streak against the spirited Cherries
Howdy. The football is back today (along with yours truly) and, much as I like to avoid the cliched phrase, we really do have to win this one. Spurs scraped past Twatford yesterday to open up a 3-point lead on the Gunners (naturally, having played a game more) while City went down to Leicester at […]
Arsenal need to bring their FA Cup form to the Premier League – It’s NOW or NEVER!
We’ve been down a roller coaster ride, mostly going down and I personally think it just passed below the level required of champions. I’m not going to have a match review or a Star Man Column up this time because the game was just too depressing and on top of that I had a very […]
