The Good, the Bad and the BOLACS – The new need to know about Arsenal acronym
Darren’s New Year Special Season Diary – BELIEVE in 2015 Ok, it may be a little late for a New Year’s Special, but as you will probably have people wishing you a happy new year until mid-February I think we can let that slide, don’t you? January – What a fucking depressing time of year […]
Match reviews and transfer blues
Captain’s log star-date something something something point 2. I’ve been sitting in my Captain’s chair for 8 hours staring at the stars on the viewscreen. I’m so bored. I want to start a war or something to spice things up. I’m gonna hail the nearest Klingon ship and call them something rude. That’ll liven the […]
Time for Wenger to toughen up.
Time for Wenger to finally be firm with his players – Drop Szczeny and play Opsina Surely it is time for Arsene Wenger became firm with his players? In today’s football world, with access to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram along with teenage players already having wages of thousands and thousands of pounds, it isn’t always […]
A Farewell to Podolski- Regrets? I have a few
Lukas Podolski has completed his loan move to Inter Milan, where he will spend the next six months before leaving the Arsenal permanently. His career in London is all but over, shall we have any regret seeing this world champion leaving? I don’t have any. Honestly, I am not dazzled by his goal-scoring record; he […]
Arsenal bounce back v Hull and victory illustrates Wenger’s options for EPL
While a January 1 defeat at the hands of Southampton quelled some of the momentum Arsenal generated throughout December, the 2-0 FA Cup win over Hull City may have gotten the Gunners back on track. And once again, it was thanks in large part to some nice contributions from bench players. The focus, in January, […]

Time for Coquelin, Ospina, Bellerin and Apkom to shine? – AFC v Hull FA Cup thoughts
We’ve been presented with a good opportunity to get away from the bumpy ride the club has provided us with in the league, a chance to defend our cup. It’s certainly not an easy game and taking this fixture lightly could see us surprised similarly to our early Capital One Cup exit to Southampton. I […]
If Alexis Sanchez goes to the top, the Arsenal goes to the top – That Simple?
Ten goals in the league, four in Europe and one in the only game played in the league cup. On the top of that, seven assists delivered in all competitions so far. I’m pretty sure Adrian Durham is working on finding a way to label Alexis Sanchez as a failure, somehow, or include him into […]
Arsenal enjoy Christmas wins, a new midfield combi and target Winston Reid
Captain’s Log, star-date post Christmas. Chekov got me Taylor Swift’s album for Christmas as revenge for beaming his tree into space. Joke’s on him though, I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! QPR I expected the win. We got the win. Even with 10 men we did well. I don’t know what Giroud was thinking but he’s made […]
Young Guns? Can Arsene Wenger and Arsenal REALLY take credit for producing top talent?
Nurturing Talent I frequently come across debates about clubs and their youth products and what teams are worthy of taking pride in producing talent. I find this to be a fairly unique topic because the talent a club has ‘produced’ seems to be generally misinterpreted. When I found myself in a relative debate concerning youngsters […]
