It’s a simple format, really – each week, a smattering of our eclectic scribes will select a HERO, a VILLAIN, a HIGHLIGHT, and a LOWLIGHT from […]
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”.
What a lovely day it is. 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 […]
20 Year, 20 Years we’re still laughing – St Totteringham’s Day Anthem Special
In November 2013 after a depressing journey home from Old Trafford I was inspired to write a blog entitled – Can Arsenal borrow young song Manchester United and shove it right back up your arse? Very simply it took their stirring new chant, primarily aimed at Liverpool, ’20 Times Man United’ and suggested a […]
Maureen the Moron, it’s called R E S P E C T
After the ludicrous coverage of the ‘Boring, Boring Chelsea’ chat, which apparently is more heinous than chanting ‘Wenger is a pedophile’, Maureen, again continued with with anti-Wenger / Arsenal campaign, claiming; ‘It’s boring to not have won a title in 10 years’ blah, blah, blah! This follows his abuse of Wenger following our defeat to […]

I support Arsenal for the ‘Arsenal Way’ – How about you?
This is a question I’ve been asked pretty often in the last three years, ever since my university journey began. “Why do you support Arsenal?” Of course, the question is posed by neutrals, not by Arsenal fans or, indeed, any football fans. My replies varied. I felt obliged (most of the time) to say something […]
