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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

DB’s Season Diary If you want the rainbow….. A few days ago, in a galaxy just down the road….. It is a period of civil war. Rebel fighters, striking from a hidden internet base, have won their first victory against the evil Arsenal Empire, led by the evil Darth Wenger. During a Twitter debate, rebel […]
Well, that was a pretty good weekend wasn’t it? Missed chances, reckless defending, more Wenger out protests, shirt printing and wine throwing. Never a dull moment at our place. Don’t beat yourself up about it, see a chance to profiteer from it. You know what Enough is Enough. I am a Wenger out person but […]
Saturday evening, straight after the final whistle, fans were already voicing their opinions on the internet; among all kind of delicate words threw at Arsène Wenger, one clear message was directed to the board: bring Jürgen Klopp in! Replace the old Frenchman with the passionate, beardy German fellow who is doing wonders at Borussia Dortmund. […]
Yes, Arsenal have found another way to fail to convert superior, well superior everything, except the goals for column, to points on the board. Officially our lowest points tally, at this stage of the season, since 1982. It doesn’t make good reading. But it’s the shots stat really takes the biscuit! Olivier Giroud had the […]
