DB’s Season Diary Week 31 Remember last week, when all we wanted was a full strength team against Everton to put us through to the semi final of the FA Cup? Remember when we weren’t too bothered about the second leg in Munich, as we were never going to win the Champions League anyway? Remember […]

The 6 potential successors to Arsene Wenger at Arsenal
Good afternoon Gooners. Well, the European adventure is over then for another year, although, unlike Spurs, Arsenal won’t be scrabbling around for old copies of The Sun to get their ‘Go to France for a Tenner’ vouchers in order to get back over there… The dragging saga that is Arsene Wenger’s future is still going […]
Arsenal out of another competition, but it’s good news for Arsene Wenger!

Why ignoring Bayern Munich makes sense for Arsenal and the Premier League title race
Patience is a Virtue that will be Tested No sooner had Olivier Giroud scored his first than I was leading the Toronto Gunners in, “Que Sera Sera… we’re going to Wemberley.” Once the match ended my mind instantly went to what’s next. Unlike many of my cohorts it was not, I wonder who we will […]
Arsenal throw money at Goalkeeper, Bacary Sagna contract update, and FA Cup silverware is in sight
Jesus, what a difference a week makes eh?! This time last week it was all doom and gloom after losing at Stoke and seemingly watching our Premier League title hopes hang by a thread.
