Hello fellow Gooners! I’m replacing Alex – supposedly busy , I believe he’s still recovering from the amazing 3-0 win in his first-ever match at the Emirates Stadium – to preview for you the Champions League game against Swiss champions FC Basel. I’ve been living in Switzerland for almost nine years now and I’m slowly […]
This week’s Highbury Hero features an integral member of the legendary 1971 Double side. As Bob Wilson put it so eloquently; “The 1971 Double side was like a jigsaw with all the pieces fitting together perfectly”. John Radford or Raddy, as he was affectionately known, was a big piece of that jigsaw. John Radford was […]
What do you need to do to make the fans of a club love you? 1) Be a mercurial talent such as Ozil or Alexis 2) Mock your rivals on social media the way Poldi did Well what if you are both and a product of the club’s academy? Well, obviously the fans will go […]
As you probably know, yesterday was the first game I attended live. And boy what a good game that was. I wasn’t able to write a preview because of the whole “changing countries” thing, but if did, I would have to mention our atrocious record against Chelsea. We last won a game against the Blues […]

Santi Cazorla has attempted to recreate Thierry Henry’s famous Premier League goal against Manchester United in 2000, whilst Granit Xhaka tried his hand at Dejan Stanković’s long range effort in the UEFA Champions League in 2011 for Inter Milan. These goals form part of Arsenal official partner BT Sport’s #GoalsRecreated campaign, which sees some of […]
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 […]
With the arrival of Italian manager Antonio Conte in South-West London combined with the mainstay of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, the London derby will certainly take a turn for the better as the two established managers will look to earn bragging rights following their first encounter on Saturday.
