Captain’s Log star-date 1 week to go. Chekhov put a Christmas tree up on the bridge today. It looked nice but it was blocking the viewscreen, so I had Scotty beam it into space. Chekhov’s been mumbling quietly in Russian and giving me evils. It’s making me uncomfortable… Big game on Sunday. Away to Liverpool is […]
Arsenal don’t make the same mistake with Henry that you made with Vieira please!
Thierry Henry has retired, in case the news hasn’t been covered extensively enough. The news broke yesterday, courtesy of the King himself, and spread a tornado of statistics, numbers and figures which were created to prove us how great the man has been. As if anyone who has seen Thierry Henry playing needed statistics to […]
Arsenal 4 Newcastle 1: Gunners Get The Balance Right
When I saw the team sheet today, I was actually a lot less concerned pre-match than I have been mostly this season. The team had very good balance to it and all the players put a good shift in, although that should be a given. As embarrassing as the antics at the Stoke railway station […]
Arsenal must get more from Bould, Giroud will be top dog before long, while Ramsey is better than Messi and Ronaldo
Captain’s Log – Star date Christmas party time Would it be inappropriate to ask Uhura to jingle my bells? Now that the smoke has cleared from the Stoke and Galatasaray games we have a good opportunity to reflect on both results with level heads. One of the reasons I choose to write my blogs towards […]
Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil and an undecided striker will transform Arsenal into a different animal
Here we are, the treatment room is getting empty and players are slowly coming back. That’s quite a strange feeling, isn’t it? After months spent with horrific shortages within the squad, it seems we are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Bar Abou Diaby, Jack Wilshere and Serge Gnabry […]
Bouldie sat them all down and our Christmas present is 1 Nil to the Arsenal
Captain’s Log star date nearly Christmas. Spock says he has no emotion, and that I should bother buying him anything, but he said the same thing last year and when I didn’t get him a gift the Vulcan pinched me in the balls. 3 wins in a row, but more importantly, 3 clean sheets. A lots has […]
#WengerOut? Arsene Wenger’s haters cause a stir once more but were these Arsenal fans right to do so?
Je ne suis pas d’accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu’à la mort pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire – Evelyn Beatrice Hall (also known as S.G. Tallentyre), The Friends of Voltaire I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to […]
Arsenal spending £40m on Schneiderlin and Hummels and selling Podolski in January WOULD get the season back on track
See You On The Other Side This will be my last blog until February as I’m about to embark on a well-earned break. An 8-week jaunt around the world via Phuket, England (and my first home game at the Emirates in 6 years), Orlando (for the little ‘un) and LA (for the grown ups). By the […]
The World Class players we now have are improving our Young Guns!
2 wins in 2 makes it an inappropriate time to maintain my stance on the boss so I’m going to highlight something different this week. A little situation I’ve observed at Arsenal is that when world class players are at the club it brings the best out of our promising younger players that also have […]
Arsenal ARE a European Giant, BUT is there any point in being in the Champions League this year?
We’re through, but does it matter? When I was younger I used to play a football game where there was no Champions League mode. You could create your own competition though, so that’s what I did when I wanted to take the mighty Gunners to European glory. At the time Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and […]
