So we arrive at game number 6 sitting fourth on 10 points ahead of today’s opponents on goal difference. Suffice to say even at this early stage of the campaign the Arsenal v Chelsea fixture is as significant as ever. Arsenal are in form, have positive selection decisions to make, are at home and are […]
ARSENE WENGER; 20 YEARS OF LOYALTY IN TIMES OF SELF-WORSHIP.
I fell in love with the Arsenal at a really tender age, about 6 years old, when I really did not understand the game of football, at least how much it meant to fans who supported their team with all of them; heart, soul and breath. All I knew was my dad loved Manchester United and I […]

Gunners get out of jail, Pre-Match Meltdowns and Gary Lineker is a t.t – Two weeks in the life of an Arsenal Fan
DB’s Season Diary – Part 2 Right then, there’s been a whole lot of Arsenal going on since we last spoke, so I think the best thing is to do what Wayne Rooney does when he sees a Post Office queue on pension day and just get stuck straight into it…… Last week saw us […]

4 Main reasons the game would be better without Mourinho – His Ego and his behaviour undermine his ability
Football is about love and hate, success and failure, goals and misses. We see things in one dimension and there is little grey. Such an approach does not help us to assess Mourinho. We need some grey, some flexibility, and some give and take. So let me start at the beginning and say I loathe […]
Spurs Loss Is Arsenal Gain – The Highbury Hero With Hands Like Shovels
PAT JENNINGS For this week’s Highbury Hero I’m going back to 1977. To talk about the only man who has the distinction of being loved on both sides of the great North London divide. A man who is not just one of Arsenal’s greatest goalkeepers. But also one of the finest goalkeepers of all time. […]
Hull 1-4 Arsenal: Iwobi runs the show as the Gunners make it 3 wins in a row
3 wins in a row. Three actual football matches Arsenal have won, putting 9 very real points in the bank. I think I can get used to it. With time. Jokes aside, though, we’ve shown some very good football yesterday. Both 11v11 and then of course 11v10. We’ve screwed up moments either side of […]
