I was involved in a rather depressing and thought provoking conversation on Monday on the Footballtasitically Arsenal podcast. The cause of the depression or enlightenment perhaps was Alan Alger from Betway. Armed with indisputable statistics Alan suggested in strong terms using various metrics that the only thing Wenger’s Arsenal improved upon in their Premier League […]
For this week’s Highbury Hero we’re travelling back in the time machine to the swinging sixties. To remember the bravest goalkeeper I’ve ever seen. Arsenal’s Double winning goalkeeper Bob Wilson. Although Bob was an excellent all round sportsman and a very good keeper, athletic with great agility, he was a little bit raw when he […]
Ten minutes from time I was ready to accept the draw. This was born out of the simple fact we looked flat and more likely to concede than score. Olivier Giroud’s introduction didn’t quite produce last week’s effect, while Oxlade-Chamberlain was simply horrendous and had me wishing we had Lucas available. But we didn’t. Some […]
It’s North London Derby time again – which can only mean one thing… Time to kick that lot back to Middlesex, where they belong. #NLD #COYG #FOYS *No chickens were harmed during the making of this artwork
The tension is building, my stomach is churning Nervous excitement and a passion that’s burning Both sides of the divide know what’s at stake Three points forgotten, bragging rights we will take Form not a factor when the North London teams collide Rivalries long standing, friendships and families divide Who wants it more on the […]
“I’m more focused on the fact that this is more than a derby. It’s an important game for us because it’s a big home game and we have an opportunity to show that we have an interesting role to play in this Premier League, and that we can win these kinds of games too.” – […]

The North London Derby Must Be BANNED! Remember, Remember…..Don’t Mention the N Word Come on, admit it, you’re bricking it aren’t you? The North London Derby; a fixture that has given us all some of the greatest memories of our Arsenal-supporting lives, as well as some of the most gut-wrenchingly painful ones. Win the game, […]
Arsenal are supporting Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day again this year. Arsène Wenger and his players have donned festive jumpers for a special squad picture, with Arsenal Ladies stars Jordan Nobbs, Leah Williamson and Fara Williams also getting involved in the campaign. To help raise funds for Save the Children, Arsenal have created a […]
Last night’s Champions League’s fixture contested between Ludogorets and Arsenal saw the North London club clinch all three points in the dying minutes of the game to earn their spot in the knockout stages of the competition. The Eagles started off the fixture in dominant fashion, putting two past a poor Arsenal defence, but the […]
