Many years ago I wrote a blog on my own site 1ND2OU that charted the highs and lows of my Arsenal supporting life based on the UK Hit Parade. Basically a bit of fun really but fascinating, well for me at least. A couple of things got me thinking about it again this week. My […]
Bellerin for the Win-g? – Can Hector be our future Right Wing Solution?
Though there seem to be other pressing concerns at the moment like Who should play in midfield? Who do we need to sign in the summer? We need to beat Swansea on Monday. And of course the endless goalkeeper debate for the cup final. Thought I’d take a break from those and address a suggestion […]
Photo Exclusive – Per Mertesacker & Francis Coquelin visit new Arsenal community centre by Emirates Stadium
Per Mertesacker and Francis Coquelin visited Arsenal’s newly opened community centre by Emirates Stadium on Friday afternoon. The 1st team stars surprised two groups of local schoolchildren holding classes at the ‘Arsenal Hub’, before helping to kick-off a first official match on the pitch. THE ARSENAL HUB – HOME OF ARSENAL COMMUNITY OPENS ITS DOORS The […]
Alexis, Monreal, Coquelin – The Bermuda Triangle where opposition attacks disappear!
Hull Hull had a very specific plan in place for us. It was a good plan, and it had worked against Liverpool, but we are (by some distance) a better side than Liverpool, and where the strengths of the plan paid off against Rogers side it’s weaknesses were mercilessly exploited by us. Another problem that Steve […]

The new Resilient Arsenal have progressed in 14/15 – Wenger has retained flair but learned to win ugly and not lose!
This season so far has seemed like a big step forward for this Arsenal squad, despite only being three points better off than at this stage last season. Of course there has still been some worrying results; the Monaco, Tottenham and Southampton performances spring to mind as well as the home defeat to Manchester United […]
4 Games in 13 Days for our best finish in 10 years as up to 22 fight for 11 places at Wembley :-)
I finally got around to watching the Hull vs. Arsenal match yesterday (thank you DVR) – I’ve seen and heard reviews praising Arsenal’s performance. I thought that AFC were good on the day, but not as blindingly brilliant as some have claimed. It was a game of missed chances for Hull, poor refereeing from Lee […]
Thierry, do the Arsenal really need an entirely new spine?
Do you remember my blog from last week? I said Thierry Henry was right in his criticism of Olivier Giroud, I said I agreed with him about us not being able to win the title with (only) Olivier Giroud upfront. I didn’t change my mind since, however I’d like to point out that anything else […]
Who should be Arsenal’s Club Captain Next Season? – Not an easy one but have your vote!!
Hello ladies and gents, my fellow Gooners! I am sure you’ve missed me 😉 I have been away for a while due to a broken computer. I’ve missed out on many talking points and it has hurt me a lot not being able to jubilate and rant I will not lie to you but I […]
Arsenal’s Midfield – “It was quite splendid, magnificent, brilliant, thrilling and scintillating”.

Yesterday we’ve: a) secured a 20th consecutive St. Totteringham’s Day (GT Special tribute here) b) secured Champions League football c) overcame one of the hardest hurdles during our run-in (beat away a team fighting to stay up) d) played some magnificent football e) finally, increased the gap on United […]
