Arsenal vs Aston Villa – Match Preview
Ry’s Match Previews It’s been a long and tedious summer for all of us so far. We’ve successfully removed most of the deadwood but failed to make a significant first team signing, leaving us with an extremely small squad (including Frimpong, Bendtner, Sanogo and Park in the first squad) to face Aston Villa at home […]
Arsenal vs Aston Villa: View From The Opponents
View From The Opponents Arsenal will start their 2013-14 league campaign at home to Aston Villa on Friday. Both teams endured indifferent campaigns last season, the only difference being that Arsenal’s scramble was at the top and Villa’s at the bottom. Ahead of the game tomorrow, I caught up with Stuart Young of Avillafan.com for a small chat. While […]
Alphabetti Spaghetti – Transfer Stylie
Anti Social Media Behaviour I’ve read and written so much stuff of late, mainly transfer related, and noticed that so much probably didn’t even need to be said, it barely even registers. There’s an awful lot typed that could’ve been done with one maybe 2 words, or even an image. We’d all have more time, […]
Transfers, pies and podcasts; the mad world of an Arsenal fan
Gunners Fair I often get asked by my friends, what’s a Podcast? What do you do on this Podcast of yours? How does it work? What’s it for? So let me start at the beginning of my own journey. I joined Twitter in the January of 2012. I can’t believe it’s only been 18 months, […]
Arsene Wenger: the most negligent manager in the history of football.
Mr. T’s Nuts There is only one thing that will prove Arsene Wenger’s negligence in 2013/2014, and that is the lack of a strong challenge for silverware. That’s what he owes us, nothing more nothing less. The transfer deadlines, the pedigree of players in…all should be judged on that, and that alone. Based on the […]
Gustavo to Arsenal: Will the German Wolves beat us to him?
Doppelpass Munich director Karl Heinz Rummenigge made it clear that Gustavo can leave. The fee should be around 17 mill which is a fair price for a player like Gustavo. The interest in Gustavo is wide spread. From Wolfsburg to Moscow to Arsenal. Wolfsburg seemed to be in the driving seat until last week. Wolfsburg […]
“The Issue of Class” – Arsenal have it despite Liverpool claims
You Guest It by John Daniel To have class is to possess a level of maturity and grace that allows you to deal with situations in a sensible, fair-handed and sophisticated way. I believe it is a label that is gathered slowly over time, a way of operating that essentially means you “do the right […]
Can Arsenal win the Premier League? Can Spurs break into the top four? Will Liverpool make the Europa League? Let’s ask the Aussies!
Far Side View It’s that time of year and time for bloggers of the world to unite and get on with their predictions for the season. To mix it up a bit, I have consulted some fellow Aussie Gooners to give a Combined Far Side View on how we see the top six panning out […]
Don’t blame Le Prof; Negotiation limitations shouldn’t detract Arsene Wenger’s legacy as manager of Arsenal
You Guest It At the time of writing Arsenal have had a somewhat hit and miss few months. Much of the deadwood that hamstringed the clubs less than stellar wage structure has since departed and many of the younger players are showing hunger and potential, albeit during preseason. Aaron Ramsey is continuing to blossom in a deeper […]
Brendan Rodgers, Luis Suarez, Jose Mourinho and Gareth Bale compounding Arsenal fans with a hate-filled summer
Pre-Season Diary Well, that went quick all of a sudden didn’t it? The final week of this pre-season diary already! When I started doing this blog ten weeks ago, my aim was to capture the changing moods and emotions we go through as Arsenal supporters during the close season. The highs (yeah, I know) and […]
