DB’s Season Diary Week 2 – Monday 1st September – The Meltdown Cometh… All day we waited, but they never came. We waited for the fabled DM, the beast who would protect us and keep us safe (or is it CDM? The whole place is so awash with consonants I’ve become tired and confused.) We waited for […]
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 […]
