No need to Panic after NLD defeat with 9 games v teams in bottom half we are on Easy Street to Champions League!
The weekends result was no doubt painful, losing to your nearest rivals always is, but there is a sense from some quarters that we should be concerned at how the rest of the season will pan out. From my perspective there’s no reason to panic as we have been on a good run with impressive […]
Arsenal need fighters who play for the GUN – That means Tomas Rosicky!
It doesn’t take much to baffle me. I’m easily baffled. One thing that does baffle me immensely though is that Tomas Rosicky has hardly been used this season when fit and available. I don’t know why he has hardly played. Maybe he and Chuba Akpom had a sleep-over in Arsene Wenger’s jacket and left a pony […]
After the NLD Apocalypse just remember its 19 YEARS since they finished above us.
If I hear the phrase ‘You’ve been caught by the Hurri-Kane’ one more time, I will swing for someone. Honestly. Yes The Spuds won. Yes we were outplayed. The Spuds came out with a game plan & I’m afraid to say, it worked. After 20 minutes, we had 11 men behind the ball, full backs that […]

There are times when 140 characters just won’t do. Right now, as the Spurs fans you forgot you knew suddenly appears back into your life, I have moved on from ‘they deserved it’ emotion to ‘Arsenal why did you let this happen’ emotion? I did not think I needed reminding, but we should never let […]
NLD Review – It is time for more mobility in attack, it is time for Chuba.
After the loss to Tottenham with no chance of a response again this season, I will honestly admit I’m enraged! It means that we have failed to beat them this year that is always damaging to our pride as the far superior club. It’s hard to pinpoint where we went wrong but being the world […]
Villa too easy but the real test of the New Arsenal is at the Lane tomorrow
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,0,7,9 point 12. We’re interrupting our 5-year mission to head back to Earth for the North London derby. Exploring the final frontier can wait. Aston Villa Watching the game at the weekend I couldn’t help but think that this is the worst Villa side I’ve seen since David O’Leary was in charge. […]
A slight change to WHAT IF… Wenger always knew But…… Sh.t happened!!
Been hectic times for me, so haven’t had the opportunity to chat with all you lovely, happy/moany/angry Arsenal fans. I started a piece at the beginning of December, and, funnily enough, the topic still stands today. Even though, I feel had I sent it our at the start of December I would have received my […]

So Reus an upgrade on Walcott this summer? – Scouting Report from Germany
The January transfer window shut only two days ago, but speculations are already gathering pace about possible high profile summer transfers. Let’s be honest.
