THE SEASON DIARY OF DB, AGED 13 & ¾ For this week’s piece, I thought I would take you back in time to my childhood diary. It’s kind of a Back to the Future type vibe. Kind of…… “I had a terrible dream last night. I had somehow woken up in the year 2015. After […]
Arsenal History proves squads can improve and win without signings – 71 and 02 Double Winners?
Post transfer-window, one of the arguments I saw posed by fans was that the current squad cannot win the league because the current squad hasn’t been able to do so for the last two seasons. On paper, that makes sense. How can the same group of players, who have failed to put up a challenge […]
Arsenal had CF and DM cover in place so if no signings incoming why loan to Hull??
After reading Alex’s blog on Sunday and some of the other blogs this week from David Glicksman, Petit’s Ponytail and Steve Wellman, there are a few points that I’d like to raise about the transfer window and some of the positions that the Club has taken with regards to the squad. I was one of […]
It is what it Is! – Don’t lose your excitement in this squad and their togetherness due to lack of signings
It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]
If Giroud makes you angry then the anger should be reserved for Wenger not the player
I am not the biggest fan of Olivier Giroud, you know it. Many times in the recent past, on this same site, I told you how much in my humble opinion the Arsenal needs a different kind of striker or how much better and option Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck would be, compared to the […]
Confidence is everything in football and a Confident Giroud scores goals – Gooners you know what to do!
Get off Giroud’s back and help him rebuild his confidence The fallout has descended from what was a frustrating transfer window to say the least, constant links with star strikers across the world were short lived as we became the only club in Europe’s top five leagues not to sign an outfield player – for […]

Wenger opts out of the Game of £50 Million Spin a Transfer Bottle – No Longer a Gambler?
Got £50mill spare Guvnor? So now the silly season is over for another 3 months and no-one could be arsed to turn up and protest (lol). Just what does £50mill buy you these days? Well, according to LVG, when you spend it on deadline day, on an unknown 12 year old, with a 1 in […]
He’s a Boy who can do anything – The Rise of Hector and the balance he gives Arsenal
Just how important has Bellerin become to Arsenal? Sometimes in football player’s progress at a good pace, sometimes they progress even quicker and in the case of Hector Bellerin they progress at a similar pace to our young Spanish right backs sprint speed – just to be clear that’s rather quick. If we cast our […]
To win the League we MUST to add to the 71 goals scored last campaign – But how?
On the eve of post deadline day hysteria I started on a piece about our striking options without bringing anyone in. The gist of it being is that, for the team to progress, Welbeck would be our best option at ‘nine’ given his physical attributes and, compared to Ollie and Theo, he has a greater […]
