Hello, good day, salutations and welcome to what is to be my first foray into the realms of bloggery in the hallowed digital halls of Gunners Town. Firstly, let me preface the rest of this post with an acknowledgement. Much of what’s penned here will concern things that you, the dedicated Arsenal fan that you […]
Iker Casillas is the WRONG target for Arsenal, but SELLING Santi Cazorla COULD fund a move for Angel di Maria
Afternoon all you lot. You find this column on the eve of Arsene Wenger’s first USA-hosted Arsenal game. New York Red Bulls and a certain Monsieur T. Henry await an Arsenal team who, once again, look a little light at the back and upfront. With plenty of time before the transfer window closes, there is […]
Arsenal’s recent and upcoming dealings ON AND OFF the field show that the future’s bright – the future’s red and white
In today’s world, for football clubs to become hugely successful they should have a world-class stadium, a large fan base and a marketable name to be able to survive around the big fish. At Arsenal, those things have been looked at and done since 1913. As most of us Gooners know, Arsenal Football Club […]
Arsenal sell defender AND fall behind Chelsea and Liverpool in the ladies title race
Gunners Fair is back, and so is the good run of form that had been a bit missing off late for the Arsenal Ladies. 6 matches (5 wins and 1 loss) later, things are definitely back on track for the side currently under interim manager, John Bayer. Bayer, who has been the technical director of […]
Talent and looks at opposite ends in World Cup
Now that the World Cup is over, a trio of German internationals head back to the Emirates Stadium with some shiny winners’ medals to show off. Although Mesut Ozil had a big role in Germany’s win, Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker’s participation was limited to the odd substitute appearance. As for their teammates, the best […]

Sami Khedira confused by Arsenal interest as Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker initiate Plan B
DB’S SILLY SEASON DIARY 2014: Sanchez Signs, Mathieu Materialises and Khedira Kidnapped So, last year it was Mesut. Fucking. Özil, and the rise of the umlaut. This year, it’s Alexis. Fucking. Sánchez and an attack of acute hysteria. Yes, the thingy over the “a” is called an acute, in case you were wondering. Just hours […]
Arsenal should IGNORE Spanish leader and replace captain Thomas Vermaelen with a German brick wall
Why Per Mertesacker should be appointed skipper next season regardless of Thomas Vermaelen’s future At the minute the club are facing a pretty awkward situation regarding Thomas Vermaelen’s future being in a three way between himself, Arsenal and league rivals Manchester United. The Arsenal skipper does seem to be pretty tight-lipped on his future at […]
Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere 0-0 The Royal Family, MPs and Celebs; Role model contest ends in bore draw
Footballers as Role-models? Really?! I don’t know why, but I am compelled to write this post on the so-called phenomenon that ‘footballers are role-models.’ This subject comes around and around and this week it has arisen again after Jack Wilshere was photographed (having his privacy invaded, by the way) smoking a cigarette in Las Vegas whilst […]
PICTURES: Arsene Wenger scoops bizarre Brazil award, while the Arsenal kids win the World Cup
I haven’t written in a while, what with the World Cup and Wimbledon, and that thing called summer, and the Twitter twats that it brings along with its long days, sunshine and cider. Now that I try to write something, I realise just how much I’ve been drinking, due to having so much football on, […]
