Arsenal getting under the pundits skin – You don’t like us, we don’t care!!
Coming into the interlull, it’s great to look at ‘pundits’ scrabbling for headlines and as usual, it’s Arsenal players that seem to get their double barrels. Following bizarre/biased rants in the past from the likes of Jamie O’Hara: ‘Arsenal are Banter FC. Odegaard, Ramsdale, Ben White, Lokonga and Tavares. They’ve spent £135 million on a […]
Stina Über Alles – The Arsenal Women Journal
What a nice way to start the new campaign! The four-nil win at home against Brighton had many protagonists and several highlights but, to me, Stina Blackstenius was the story of the night. The Swede, whose arrival raised a few eyebrows for all the wrong reasons, has been a constant pain for the Seagulls with […]
Only Arsenal Know – an error-free knock-around with the kids at Brentford [BRE 0-3 ARS]
Only Arsenal know POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES People are really starting to notice Arsenal. The stubborn ones say that we’ve had an easy start.

The Arsenal Women’s Journal – 22/23 Preview – A New Start!
Attempt number two. After the postponement of what should have been our season opener at Manchester City, the Arsenal Women team is finally about to kick-start their 2022/23 campaign with one target: lift the trophy that evaded us last year by one single point.

Is there even a Top 6 in the Premier League any more?
Is there even a Top 6 in the Premier League any more? A look at the table after only 6 games might give one pause for thought. Yes – I know itʻs a pretty small sample size, but some of the results have been pretty shocking. As you will see below, the league has thrown up […]
Queen Elizabeth was a Gooner (Oh! and Arsenal beat Zurich)
Queen Elizabeth was a Gooner POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I never had the privilege of meeting the Queen but I did see her once. Crossing the road outside Buckingham Palace a policeman stopped us as a black car pulled out. The window went down and there she was ❤️ I also remember going to Windsor Castle […]

Not for the first time, Richard Keys has gone on an another anti-Arteta rant. Following on from; “I can’t hide the fact that irritates me so much, […]
Killing the wrong team – Arsenal beats Arsenal at Old Trafford [MUN 3-1 ARS]
Killing the wrong team POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Did Manchester United deserve to win the game? Part of me thinks absolutely not. We looked like the superior team on their home patch and are clearly a better team right now. They rely strongly on individuals as they did yesterday. On the other hand, what are […]
Old Trafford – A true test of Arsenal’s new strong mentality and self-belief
Today’s visit to Old Trafford will be a stern test of Arsenal’s growing credentials as, at the very least, strong Top 4 challengers. After 5 straight wins it would be fair to say that the media and pundits are being kinder to Arteta’s Arsenal, but with the constant caveat of ‘you have not played anyone […]
Energy Everywhere: electric Arsenal secure win against Villa to keep perfect record [ARS 2-1 AVL]
Energy, everywhere Positives, Needs And Hopes I’m writing and rewatching at the same time. It’s the 16th minute. We’ve just had yet another chance in Villa’s box. The ball ends up outside the box with Saka and he gets pushed down. Within two seconds Xhaka, Odegaard and Saliba surround the potential counterattack. I could have […]
