OH MY! Olivier Giroud is out for three months, we are doomed! Let’s ignore the fact that a large chunk of Arsenal supporters called him with some adorable names since the beginning of the season, asking Arsène Wenger to buy any kind of striker to replace that useless guy (I’m being very polite here), and […]
Wrighty and Merse: Who wins in battle of the gaffes? There are a lot of ex-Gunners currently doing the rounds as football pundits and commentators. On ITV, Lee Dixon makes regular appearances while Sky have Alan Smith and Soccer Saturday regular Paul Merson to call upon. We all know that ex-pros are prone to making […]
The Power of Three So, it’s Tuesday 26th August and the bloody annoying transfer window finally shuts at 11pm on 1st September. I have come to the conclusion that, who, if and when we sign someone, it could be out of Arsenal’s control and in the unlikely hands of the following three individuals: 1 – Slaven […]
How Convincing Are We As Title Challengers? Ever since May we’ve been on a real high and as we extend our unbeaten run to 11 games. Since the Community Shield game we have looked fairly sluggish in our play of late however we’re refusing to lose which is a new mental dimension that is welcome to […]
Forget the off season and the World Cup, ignore the long summer break. The season isn’t just starting but nearing its business end. For now, that’s the mentality Arsenal need to possess. A mentality that makes us believe the 2013/2014 campaign is only just drawing to a close. That should give us the momentum we […]

But the most important thing is that we won the first match of the season and we did not lose our away fixture in the Champions League qualifiers, keeping a […]
Been away from blogging for a couple of months. Not because I had writers block as those who follow me on Twitter would attest! I started a new job so had to focus my mind on that but today I have something to say that has to come out! Earlier this year I wrote this blog […]
A defence of our much maligned target man Good morning my lovelies, and welcome to another episode of my ramblings, sponsored as ever by your patient understanding of my meandering nonsensical ponderings. My my we’re a bunch of reactionary ninnies. All that positivity and good will from pre-season and the great start to the recruitment […]
Good afternoon you Gooners, welcome back to the column. What have I learnt from the two opening fixtures after the cracking Community Shield win? *Oh, the daughter wants the TV on…okay, let’s sort that out, what’s on CBeebies…? ‘Postman Pat’ – blimey, is he still employed?! He gets one package a day, invariably loses it, […]
Can Arsenal mount an assault on the Golden Boot? At the earliest stage of the season, it’s always fascinating to speculate on the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot as the division’s highest scorer. While there are always a set of likely candidates, a loss of form can be supplemented by external factors such […]
