So, after a two-week international borefest (made worse tenfold by the events in Paris), the real football is back. The players are returning, none of ours seem to do so in pieces and the next break is four months away. Four months of uninterrupted football at club level. The weekend will kick off with Watford […]
Arsenal’s non-existent Spine has them challenging for the title Pundits said we could not win
I’ve always found it funny how people take football pundits seriously when they know that their main job is being on television. Mainly because being on television means you have to be either crazy as shit and able to make a spectacle or make a proper sensible analysis all the time. The latter is of […]

The Injustice of the NO CAPs Gunners as Lingard get the England call
ARSENAL’s NO CAP WONDERS Well the North London derby is done and dusted and we’re deep into yet another Interlull, so I thought this would be as good a time as any to talk about six Arsenal players who were criminally overlooked by England. There are some awful players that have been capped for England. […]
The Reverse of the other Number 9 curse – Finally Arsenal have a 1(+)8
Recently I composed a piece regarding the ongoing curse of the number 9 and Arsenal’s continuing failure to fill the void left by Alan Smith. But there is another shirt that has suffered the same fate over the past few years, but it looks like that the curse on the 1(+)8 shirt may have finally […]
Wenger’s Manager of the Month using Plan’s A, B and even C as The Gunners find a way to win ugly
It feels like ages since I last wrote, I actually had to check the link to my column to verify this feeling! It turns out I’m right, it’s been over a month since I last wrote about the Gunners although I recently wrote about what I have learned from Wenger on a personal level – […]
Mesut Ozil in Context – The most efficient Goal Chance creating machine in Europe (FACT)
There has been much praise for Mesut Ozil this season and rightly so. After a sluggish return from injury in the spring he has been sensational with the turning point perhaps being a stand out display in Arsenal’s epic FA Cup victory at Old Trafford. In this campaign the German international has certainly stepped into […]
All will look RIGHT when the RIGHT hand-side returns RIGHT after International break
This week’s column has been inspired by our latest signing, Victor Thompson. The frustration, disappointment and (perhaps) disillusionment that transpire from his words of yesterday are totally understandable and I am sure many fans are sharing his views. I don’t – at least not completely. I feel his frustration when I see some of our […]
Record Breaking Ozil assists Arsenal through the Injuries and the NLD
There are only so many games where you can spot the spectacular and Bayern was one of those games where the spectacular was coming from the opposition, which is why there was no post from me on that game. The Spurs game seemed to be going the same way and after the first half I […]
