Hi there all. I trust you are all well and are looking forward to the weekend…as a lecturer who has just had the last month off, this week has been a crash back down to the reality of work, preparation, induction and work. Oh, and work. But please don’t shed a tear for me, not […]
The transfer window has now shut with mixed opinions on how Arsenal dealt with their business. Was it a successful transfer window? Gooners ask me. I think it was very successful and in many ways to be fully honest. With the likes of Bacary Sagna, Lukasz Fabianski, Thomas Vermaelen and Nicklas Bendtner leaving the […]
2013/2014 was an eye-opener for Arsenal in many ways. The requirements for winning a trophy were clearly understood, while the elements to mount and successfully end a title assault were acutely made manifest. Eventually, the Gunners lost that league battle to Manchester City, who in my opinion, began a new era of dominance through endless […]
Alexis Sanchez. Mathieu Débuchy. David Ospina. Calum Chambers. Danny Welbeck. And people still brand this transfer window as terrible. I get the point that we should have added a defender in order to complete the unit, is that enough to label Arsène Wenger’s job as horrible? I don’t know what you think about it but I haven’t experienced such an […]
Don’t Fear, Danny Welbeck Is Here! Arsenal have managed to scrape a late deadline day signing in Manchester United’s outcast Danny Welbeck. How do I feel about this? I’ll tell you. Underwhelmed, yes of course considering the wild rumours lately but very happy with this deal in particular. I’m a big fan of this player […]

Sunday Taught Us Nothing We Don’t Already Know Before I begin, I should inform that I’m currently neither a WOB nor AKB. I have respect for Arsene Wenger but frequently in disagreement with his decisions and I’m sceptical of how far he can take us though I believe the potential exists. That’s just how I […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 1 – Time to Turn the Cannon Outwards Well, the season is now well and truly underway since you last heard from me, and just like I felt after being back at work for five minutes after two weeks away, it feels like it never went away. In case you’ve been living […]
Ahoy hoy there Gooners. After Wednesday’s capers, I trust all of your backsides have returned to what passes as normal and the prospect of scraps against a not-as-formidable-as-they-once-were Borussia Dortmund, the less than worrying Belgian side Anderlecht and Turkish fear-mongers Galatasaray, makes the tension against Besiktas now seem worthwhile. For me, Marco Reus, Steven Defour […]
Transfer revisionism doesn’t help until the transfers are done Good morning my lovelies, and welcome back. What a difference the space of a week can make. We’ve gone from “The team is horrible”, “The play is labored”, “How can Arsene Wenger not see what’s so patently obvious” and “I’m a grumpy lout” to “Ah, THAT’s […]
