The Arsenal of the past 9 seasons reared its ugly head on Saturday. We dominated the game with 72% possession , 592 completed passes, 11 shots and a 2-1 defeat. To rub sodium chloride in the gaping hole, the Baggies only managed 1 shot on target and still scored 2 goals!!!! Here’s hoping this is […]
*not an ode, I’m not much of a poet Note: this piece was written before Arsenal took on West Brom When Theo Walcott limped off against Sheffield Wednesday, a collective gasp escaped the lips of Gooners all over the globe: the injury meant we were left with one fit striker. A situation all-too-familiar for Arsenal […]
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 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. […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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.
