Well I did not expect that. In fact, I was dreading the match beforehand but I was cheered up by the supporters who were behind the team from the start. The Chelsea fans began quite vocal but as the game progressed, the Gooners took over. The players were clearly bolstered by the support and; to […]
$5, $5, You want happy ending? And so it came to pass, you study hard, scrimp and save for years, to pay you dream gap year backpacking around South East Asia. You finally land and things go from bad to worse; You fall out with your BFF over your accommodation, You save your wages only […]
Here for long haul? The narrative of late for our club, bar Wenger and the FA Cup final, has been the bid for the club by Usmanov. This was rejected by Stan Kroenke, who has since said the club is not for sale for any price. However, I am not a financial analyst nor an […]
Alexis…..eres una leyenda The title is in homage to Alexis’s native language (or lengua nativa o idioma nativo), and yes to me he is a legend. The topic of who constitutes a club legend is moot and subjective. Many may balk at these points; however, I have seldom seen a player like Alexis in my […]
Too often after a big game, we reflect on what we could have done better. Who didn’t perform out there? What could Arsene Wenger have done differently? Why has this happened again? But not today.

It is a boundless elation, a pure and […]
It’s the last game of the season for Arsenal, and, for the third time in four seasons it is the FA Cup final. Undoubtedly Arsene Wenger’s men will be looking to salvage something from the otherwise disappointing campaign. Winning a third FA Cup in four years seems fitting. It can also be the saving grace […]
That was then and this is now A massively self indulgent piece this week, but hey !! 20 years ago this happened and these 11 players changed my life. Please note; the team name was originally ‘Arse and All FC’ but this was back in the day of telephone entries and apparently I wasn’t […]
A day to go now and the excitement is rising The end of the season, a dream realising A day to go now and all Gooners knowing Irrational yes, but confidence is growing Forgetting the facts, half the team want to leave Half the defence we are missing and still we believe Of course […]
