If you came here today to see me bemoan the dropped points, you can turn right around because I won’t. I probably would have done that had we lost, but when your team attacks for 90 minutes out of 95, manages 28 shots and has 76% possession, well, that’s what I call an effort and […]
A is for Arsenal and A is Wenger’s Plan – There is no Plan B but Kondogbia is it.
I think that we can all agree that last night’s match was dreadful to watch. Sunderland came to the Emirates with only one idea: stifle the match and earn the draw that they needed to stay up. Sadly, it seemed that Arsenal only arrived with one idea too: pass it around the edge of the […]
A Sorry Tale of The Media, Pundits and Gooners! – Are we just too sensitive?
I started writing this the day after the draw with United. Wrote a bit, then stopped, pondered for a day and a half whether this is relevant or not. Saw some tweets and posts on fan forums on Facebook which convinced me to go ahead and complete this! I still may be risking ridicule by […]
Arsene and the team keep telling us they have matured – After the past week they need to prove it!
Those (very brave) of you who read my column every week already know this: I am one of the most optimistic Gooners you’ll come across. No matter what the result or the outcome of a game, I’ll find some positives. I was not really worried when we conceded defeat to Swansea at home, I saw […]
Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
This Arsenal side has the best team spirit since the Invincibles – Victoria Concordia Crescit
“Key for me was the all-togetherness. What I liked about that team was the unselfishness of everybody. Everybody was willing to give the ball to the guy in the better position. The generosity of that team was outstanding, and we always wanted to share with each other. And that’s something that is pretty rare.” – […]
Fancy a ‘Gap Year’ coaching with The Arsenal? Or Supporting the ‘Arsenal Foundation’
The Arsenal Gap Programme Thinking of a year out between A’Level an University? – Arsenal Gap programme is now seeking applications for the 2015/16 intake, starting in August this year. Participants learn to coach with the Arsenal in the Community team in north London before having the opportunity to travel abroad. Coaches are currently in […]
A 20 year Double or Quits bet on St Totteringham’s Day? – Hindsight’s a BITCH!!
HINDSIGHT IS A BITCH !!!! Putting aside the disappointment (& reality check) of last Monday’s defeat at the hands of Swansea and the satisfying (if not slightly frustrating) draw with Manure, I thought I would further relive our 20th St Totteringham Day and review our superiority over the wannabee’s from Middlesex. Below is a track […]
Gunners Town/ Campo Retro FA Cup Final Competition – win a classic retro Arsenal shirt!
On May 30th, 2015, Arsenal will have the opportunity to defend their FA Cup title at Wembley against Aston Villa. This will be Arsenal’s 19th Cup Final appearance (11 wins; 7 losses) – which is a new record; it will be Aston Villa’s 11th appearance (7 wins;3 losses). Should Arsenal be successful, this […]
Ramsey stakes a claim to central berth as Santi fades after Wenger’s subs inspire comeback
Well this is awkward. We all know how people tend to overlook the performance in the context of the result. Of course, it’s fair to say this is mostly wrong: down the years Arsenal fans have seen good performances aplenty only to see the Gunners consequently lose the match. Many started supporting Arsenal for the […]
