Howdy. We face Southampton in 4th round of the FA Cup today and will be looking to secure passage to round 5 for the 17th time in 21 years. Southampton have become something of a bogey team for us. We have only managed to beat the Saints four times from 11 attempts since their promotion […]
Arsenal and Bayern Munich will once again lock horns in the first knockout rounds of the Champions League. The sides have met three times in the round of 16 with the Gunners losing each time, putting huge pressure on Arsene Wenger and his men to end their struggles against the German giants. The Gunners have […]
Aaron Ramsey – World Class or Bang Average? Aaron Ramsey – The most interesting player to review at Arsenal for me. I know it’s dangerous to go online and give your analysis of a player so what I am going to try to articulate is my journey with Aaron Ramsey. How my feelings have changed, […]
After two successive FA Cups in 2014 and 2015, Arsene Wenger became the manager who had won the famous old trophy the most. For me this was hugely gratifying after a long period of him deciding to disrespect the world’s oldest football knockout competition. I could just about handle Arsenal using the League Cup to […]

Don’t get me wrong. Anything that Wenger does that isn’t sitting on the sideline, furrowed brow, all forlorn… …or impersonating a sleeping bag struggling to (un)zip itself… …is fine by moi. Getting in the face of the sh*t-lipped (why else would he be permanently sneering?) Mourinho… or venting his ire on inanimate objects… – these little […]
Alternative Facts In the past few weeks, so called footballing experts have been found guilty of going before the press and issuing “Alternative Facts” and basically undermining the credibility of the football pundit. Maybe these guys should have checked themselves before they wrecked themselves. Alternative Fact 1 – Fergie”s little henchman, Paul Scholes: “Tottenham and […]
Well Gooners, let’s tackle it straight away: Granit Xhaka is a hot tempered lad. He is very passionate, he has a proper fighting spirit and he doesn’t hide when things heat-up. Yet, it doesn’t mean he’s a liability to the team and someone always on the verge of being given the marching orders. It’s been […]
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Just when the game seemed to have settled into a calm pattern of Arsenal keeping Burnley at arm’s length whilst 1-0 up, Granit Xhaka and Jonathan Dross injected a little variety into the proceedings. The inevitable rollercoaster followed, but, mercifully, we managed to come out on top, if only […]
Howdy. It’s Burnley today and a win will lift the Gunners to second in the table. Yesterday all of Liverpool, Spurs, City and United dropped points, clearing the path for us to overtake the former two and increase the gap on the latter pair. On paper screen, Burnley at home looks as winnable a fixture […]
