Rejoice, Gooners! Our beloved football Club is setting a new example in European football: improvement through stability, something we should all be proud of. Nevertheless, the price we paid to be where we are today seemed too high to many – no trophies for almost a decade, no title challenges, no glorious runs in Europe […]
The season is over & the tabloids were right; We finished outside the Champions League spots, Sanchez was a waste of money & was a flop, Ozil continued float on the fringes doing nothing for the team, Our defence was shocking, We had no depth in midfield and Our strike force couldn’t hit a […]
Today’s piece will follow a theme I used for a piece on Coquelin on my personal blog a few months ago. It is also, somewhat, an extension to the line of thought I advocated recently in a piece on dealing with the media and pundits. Don’t worry, this won’t be philosophical! This pertains to how […]

Transfer speculation is rife in the Goonersphere resulting in endless debates among Gooners about who Arsenal need and why they need the said player(s). I never get into any of that, although […]
I would like to thank our friends at Forty Nine Undefeated for allowing us to post this superb article by Gooner Chris (@AFC_ChrisGooner) In a world where short term needs and requirements are largely put before long term planning, football is no different.
