We are all aware of the fickle nature of football fandom and opinion, particularly as expressed on social media. So much so that last night, after a few cracking performances which excited us all I witnessed conversations on Twitter asking if those who were expressing discontent at Wenger would now apologise; admit they were wrong […]
Arsene Wenger’s official 20th anniversary as the manager of Arsenal Football Club saw his North London side travel to Burnley in a pivotal match that was contested between the two. With Manchester City losing their fixture to Tottenham whilst Burnley continue to earn their spot in the league next season, both teams were more than […]
I have just returned from holidays in Benidorm. I watched all the big matches and I was surprised and disappointed to find that Arsenal supporters were thin on the ground. Thankfully though, I did not meet a single Spud. The big screens were captured by Utd, City and Liverpool and even Celtic fans! Anyway, I paid 2.4 […]
This week’s Highbury Hero was a cultured midfielder. Who graced the Highbury pitch for 16 seasons. He also played a part in every one of George Graham’s trophy winning sides.

Phew, it’s been a hell of a week. If you are interested in what I’ve been up to, this has been my first (kind of proper) week studying journalism at Kingston. In this week I managed to: Do and show the first bit of assessed work in the form of a group presentation (on click-bait […]
Arsenal fans will be boosted by the team’s performance in last night’s home leg win against Basel as further evidence of their growing title credentials. More concrete progress is needed before there can be genuinely founded speculation of a successful challenge in the Champions League but the December home match against PSG will be a […]
The rise and rise of Hector Bellerin has been nothing short, to use a well-worn cliche, of meteoric since he broke into the Arsenal side 2 years ago.
