It doesn’t take much to baffle me. I’m easily baffled. One thing that does baffle me immensely though is that Tomas Rosicky has hardly been used this season when fit and available. I don’t know why he has hardly played. Maybe he and Chuba Akpom had a sleep-over in Arsene Wenger’s jacket and left a pony […]
After the NLD Apocalypse just remember its 19 YEARS since they finished above us.
If I hear the phrase ‘You’ve been caught by the Hurri-Kane’ one more time, I will swing for someone. Honestly. Yes The Spuds won. Yes we were outplayed. The Spuds came out with a game plan & I’m afraid to say, it worked. After 20 minutes, we had 11 men behind the ball, full backs that […]
Yesterday demonstrated Ramsey needs to change or be replaced – NLD Player Review highlights problems
There are times when 140 characters just won’t do. Right now, as the Spurs fans you forgot you knew suddenly appears back into your life, I have moved on from ‘they deserved it’ emotion to ‘Arsenal why did you let this happen’ emotion? I did not think I needed reminding, but we should never let […]
NLD Review – It is time for more mobility in attack, it is time for Chuba.
After the loss to Tottenham with no chance of a response again this season, I will honestly admit I’m enraged! It means that we have failed to beat them this year that is always damaging to our pride as the far superior club. It’s hard to pinpoint where we went wrong but being the world […]

Aston Villa Watching the game at the weekend I couldn’t help but think that this is the worst Villa side I’ve seen since David O’Leary was in charge. […]
A slight change to WHAT IF… Wenger always knew But…… Sh.t happened!!
Been hectic times for me, so haven’t had the opportunity to chat with all you lovely, happy/moany/angry Arsenal fans. I started a piece at the beginning of December, and, funnily enough, the topic still stands today. Even though, I feel had I sent it our at the start of December I would have received my […]
Francis Coquelin – Nicknamed ‘Le Ninja’ in France – A View from across the Channel
Arsenal can be grateful to Santa Claus for bringing the solution to the Gunners patent lack of balance in the middle. A sudden but welcome revelation of Francis Coquelin in December, after an unexpected return from his loan spell in Charlton, gave Arsenal a new face. A bit of luck for Arsène Wenger, who […]
So Reus an upgrade on Walcott this summer? – Scouting Report from Germany
The January transfer window shut only two days ago, but speculations are already gathering pace about possible high profile summer transfers. Let’s be honest. This deadline day was tedious as it hasn’t been for years and not only due to the fact we weren’t involved in any deadline day deals. It just wasn’t the […]
Is Tottenham away a BIG game like City, United or Chelsea or not Monseiur Wenger?
Good Wednesday Gooners in this is the week leading to the North London Derby! A very brief conversation I had yesterday with our dear Dave (@goonerdave66) and his consequent article inspired me for this week’s blog. The question I have been asking myself is this: Is Tottenham at White Hart Lane a big away game, […]
Australia’s Greatest SPORTING Victory
