Podolski off in the summer, Monreal the new Santos, and Vermaelen heading for Arsenal exit
Questions that need to be answered? We huffed and we puffed and we blew Wigan’s mud huts down. It wasn’t convincing but after 120 minutes, it’s the figures in the top left hand corner that matter! At 5am, after the final whistle and after the team had taken their obligatory celebratory selfie, I was sat […]
Arsene Wenger abused AGAIN by own fans, but Arsenal are back off to Wembley for the FA Cup final
I hope this reaches you in good spirits. In fact, I hope this reaches you at all. If things didn’t go as we’d hoped on Saturday I’m not sure how many of you will have done a Reggie Perrin. I said last week that it can be a bit strange, let alone difficult, to write this as […]
Koscielny, Giroud and Szczesny IN, Ox, Podolski and Monreal OUT for tired Arsenal against fresh West Ham
Arsenal v West Ham – Focus and Go Fourth Arsenal face West Ham tonight off the back of coming from a goal down to beat Wigan on penalties to reach the FA Cup final just three days ago. Jordi Gomez looked to have given Wigan a shot at retaining the trophy, but Per Mertesacker levelled […]
Fabianski The Hero As Arsenal Book Wembley Part II – Wigan Athletic 1 Arsenal 1 (AET – Arsenal win 4-2 on Penalties)
Arsenal rarely tend to do things the easy way but yesterday we just about had enough to beat defending Champions Wigan Athletic and reach the FA Cup Final, our first since we last won the competition in 2005. Lukas Fabianski was the hero as he saved the first two Wigan penalties in the shoot out […]
Arsene Wenger could stay if Arsenal win the FA Cup and then create the Invincibles MK II
This could still be Arsenal’s most important season So it’s been a forgettable 2014 so far. A year that promised so much on its first day. We’ve stumbled far too many times, often had too similar accidents, but we aren’t crushed yet. ‘Cause we’ve still got seven reasons to fight. The chance to end the […]
BAD form, AWFUL history and HORRIFIC luck; why Arsenal could easily crash and burn in the FA Cup
Good Friday afternoon you Gooners. It pains me to write this, but there are several reasons why tomorrow’s FA Cup semi-final is filling me up with dread – like Adam Richman’s toilet after a series of Man vs. Food – and breaking me out in a cold sweat: – Arsenal have, time and time again […]
Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton – why can’t Arsenal win away?
Tell me why, we don’t like away days. It’s 12.15am on Monday 7th April 2014, The games just finished, I’m sitting on my sofa, with a coffee in hand, staring at the TV and I’m lost for words, again. And then this tune popped into my head. I don’t know why, I haven’t heard the song […]
Depressing Arsenal on an UPWARD curve but simply MUST win the FA Cup this season
The road to Wembley is paved with depression I haven’t written in a while, but I felt compelled to put fingertips to keyboard following yet another embarrassing and depressing performance away from home on Sunday. I am generally one who looks on the brighter side of things as I believe hope is much more powerful […]
Arsene Wenger confronted by enemies at Arsenal; Who shot the boss? A classic soap opera
DB’s Season Diary Week 34 This is one of those strange times I occasionally encounter when writing this diary the way I do, when as I write there is absolutely jack shit going on. The respectable draw with Manchester City at the weekend meant there was no Monday morning meltdown, the lack of a fixture […]
REVIEW: Should Arsene Wenger walk away from out-of-ideas Arsenal after FA Cup glory?
Everton 3 Arsenal 0 – Superb Everton Show That Change Can Be Good It’s tough to know where to start or how to construct any narrative after watching Arsenal again get completely outplayed in an away game against one of the Premier League’s top five clubs. Our 3-0 defeat at Everton again highlighted an inability […]
