January Window Gamble Backfired – Don’t blame the players running on empty
I knew I would be asked for my thoughts about Monday night, but I left it 24 hours in the hope I could be rational and constructive.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: supporting Arsenal (and leaky goggles)
PTSD FC Might as well admit it. Being a Gooner is definitely not good for the health. The age-old adage about craziness springs to mind: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result pretty much sums it up. Iʻd say about five to ten times a season I tweet one of […]
Not with a bang, but a whimper: Arsenal tear up golden Champions League ticket in timid Newcastle display [Positive Needs & Hopes]
How should I feel? Positive Needs and Hopes What’s the name of that place in the Caribbean that everybody thinks is the ultimate luxury? I’ve forgotten so I’m going to go and ask my wife…… OK, it’s Atlantis. At least to me as a young adult I always saw the commercials for Atlantis and thought […]

North London Derbies are bad enough without having all this extra drama piled on. After the worst start to a Premier League season in 67 years, this young Arsenal team and their novice manager are positioned to achieve what NO – literally NOT ONE – critic predicted at the start of the season… even before […]

That’s all, folks! The 2021/22 Women’s Super League campaign is over.We all wished we had a different ending, but it was never truly likely to happen.

How do you place value on history? The Arsenal is more than a club. It is a living, breathing monument to the men and women who carefully and passionately carried it through times of great prosperity and incredible hardship.

Energetic start gives Arsenal all three points in vital Leeds clash [ARS 2-1 LEE]
Lucozade and lemon drops I always try to base my opening piece on what I think is the general feeling coming out of the game. The general feeling coming out of that game for me and most I think, was that yet again I soiled my britches and I feel like Arsenal need to give […]
