Please note, I am not advocating an immediate change of manager, nor suggesting Arsene Wenger shouldn’t be given a new deal, but he may not be offered one or may not sign one when his current deal expires, and he will, of course, eventually leave his post at some point! After two back-to-back FA Cup […]
Arsene, for the sake of the club, please retire………………the Number 9 Shirt!!
I have a heart felt plea, a plea that Arsene must adhere to, for the future of the club. ‘Arsene Wenger, please retire, please retire the number 9 shirt!!!’ It’s destroying careers and undermining the club. Okay so the last statement is a bit over the top, but the shirt is defiantly cursed and needs […]

Arsenal will be celebrating St Totterngham’s Day even earlier this season!
When will we celebrate St Totteringham’s Day? St Totterngham’s Day Dictionary Definition – The phrase has been around for so long it is in the book!

Wenger’s all time worst buys for The Arsenal – The Unlucky 13!!
After the ‘Best Arsene Wenger Arsenal Signings’ post, I just had to do a ‘worst signings’ post. And again, entirely subjective; these are my own opinions and factor in the transfer fee paid, their impact (or lack of) on the team and the general ‘meh’ that I felt when they were announced. Or they […]
Arsene Wenger’s Top 12 Signings for The Arsenal
It is a very subjective subject, of course, so I hope it inspires some discussion below the post in the comments, but here are my Dozen Best Wenger Signings, from 1996 – 2015. Why 12? Why not?! It’s like a reverse ‘Dirty Dozen!’ Fees are those as stated on the superlative Arsenalreport.com’s Transfer Centre. These […]

A Blog in Defence of the BFG – Per Mertesacker
Per Mertesacker, the BFG. The whole season I have mostly seen complaints about the German with compliments far and few between. The complaints mostly comprise the following: He’s too slow. He’s too slow. He’s too slow. He’s too slow, people say he makes it up with his intelligence… but he’s too slow for me. Some […]

Hi everyone. This is part seven of my series of blogs about the status of the Premiership Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season following the conclusion of the League season.
