This week’s trip down memory lane takes us back to 1996 when a young French colossus made a stunning debut changing the game for The Arsenal, when coming on as a substitute to dominate the midfield, which he continued to do for nine fantastically successful years. One of the first names on my team sheet […]

Football has changed – can Arsenal keep up?
ARSENAL CIRCULAR 170 APRIL 2017 We need a break from the Wenger IN Wenger OUT. The arguments have been well rehearsed and repeated and I have made my own views clear on Twitter @arsenalcircular so I thought it useful to reflect on past highs and lows and how they were handled. But “context is everything”. […]
If Arsenal miss out on the FA Cup, will it be the end for Wenger?
Arsene Wenger has enjoyed some incredible moments with Arsenal, no more so than when he guided his men to an unbeaten campaign in the 2003-2004 season, while he has landed the Premier League title on three occasions during a 21-year tenure in north London. However, his last top-flight title remains the one garnered by the […]
Wenger has sucked the joy out of watching football
In 2007 I watched Arsenal drew away to Liverpool at Anfield and it felt as though we had won the match. Arsenal went down by a goal scored from a free kick by Steven Gerrard on the ninth minute. Arsenal put pressure on Liverpool for the rest of the game, playing some of the best football […]
If Napoleon Wenger truly loves Arsenal, he’ll do the right thing

Diving Into Arsenal’s Two Biggest Issues
Arsenal is in an awful place – there is no argument about that. For this piece I’m going to look past contract negotiations, locker room disharmony and public displays of protest in favor of statistics. Statistics that I hope will shed light on the issues my eyes have been telling me are the two biggest […]
Crystal Palace 3-0 Arsenal: a ship without a captain or a sense of direction
In my time supporting Arsenal I have seen a lot and been through a lot. It’s been a mostly stressful and largely unrewarding journey, as my hobby started in the summer of 2004. Hence, unless we count Community Shield, I’ve only watched Arsenal win three major pieces of silverware. However, I can without a shadow […]
Crystal Palace preview: another win a must as the run-in heats up
Howdy. We face Crystal Palace today and it’s another must-win situation for us. I’m talking more our future prospects here than a need to win because of a shambolic run. Our last five league games will be extremely tough to get all 15 points from (Spurs, United, Everton, Stoke and Soton in there somewhere), so […]
24 Clean Sheets In A Single Season: the Reason This Seaman’s A Highbury Hero
All aboard the time machine and its back to the 1990’s for the latest Highbury Hero. He’s the most decorated goalkeeper ever to play for The Arsenal, who also made more appearances for the club than any other goalkeeper. It’s our genial giant Yorkshireman. It’s “”Safe Hands” David Seaman. The famous back four got plenty […]
