21 May 2005. 3282 days. 17 May 2014. Eight minutes in and 2-0 down, the wait appeared as if it would continue after another poor start in a big match. Gooners around the world stood stoic in agony, pain and tears, hoping to see the boys in red and white find their feet and the […]
What defines an Arsenal Legend & what defines an Arsenal Traitor?
AND WHO DECIDES? Ah, it was good while it lasted. The victory, followed by the harmony. Ah, that peaceful harmony. Naturally as the season’s door shuts hard, then as night follows day, the transfer window swiftly swings open, and with it, the seeds for argument. Well, those seeds were planted quicker than ever this year […]
Darren Berry’s FA Cup Diary
As I write, less than a week on from that unforgettable day at Wembley, I’m already starting to see some of the focus shifting from winning the FA Cup to who we should and aren’t going to sign this summer among other things, and the bitching has started in earnest. Fine, if that’s your bag, […]
Why and how Cesc would improve the Arsenal team in 2014/15
It’s that time of the summer again. The time when rumours spread like viruses. Arsenal have currently got a chronic one on their hands, with the highly contagious Cesc buzz taking over the gunners fan base.

Heroes and Goodbyes: the End Of An Era
Good afternoon Gooners! At the start of the month, it was my birthday. It is with a heavy heart that I write this, but ‘Gunners Town’ disrespected me; me, Greg Cross, a fairly prolific provider of Friday columns, and for this reason, I have to consider my future. I received no cake, no card nor […]
Gooners United in Joy for once and downloading Dodgy Images Officer!!!!
What a weekend, what a week, the joy, or even more so, the shared joy of so many. Not like the end of a season with “nearly this”, “nearly that” – where half the support deem it a successful season, while the others don’t, where some see progress and others don’t, and therefore leading to […]
I am converted and a believer – The FA Cup MATTERS, winning MATTERS
Clive P’s 5 Points after Wembley! Cards on the table – I was one of those fans that used to say “the FA Cup and Carling Cup don’t matter – Its about the Champions League to attract top players and to keep the revenue stream” Well I think I must of had a blockage in […]
Arsene Wenger’s half-time team talk launched Arsenal to FA Cup glory; belief, positivity and emotion
Thanks boys, as usual, it’s been emotional! At half time he told them To just keep believing To just keep their heads And to keep performing This is The Arsenal “Victory through Harmony” Where class, it is permanent And form, it is temporary Where the name on the front Is the one that you play […]
Yaya Sanogo makes the difference as 4-4-2 Arsenal end nine-year hoodoo in superb style
Arsenal 3 Hull City 2 (AET) – 2-0 Down, 3-2 Up, Aaron Ramsey Won Us The Cup Saturday 17th May 2014 will go down forever as one of the best days of my life. I watched the 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2005 FA Cup Final victories on TV, but to be there at Wembley in […]
“Who is Matty Fryatt?” Lukas Podolski not sure of Hull opponent, nor his role as an ‘OPTION’ at Arsenal
How do you solve a problem like Podolski? By @JokmanAFC I’m talking about my attendance at the Arsenal FA Cup Presser. You’re bored I hear you cry! Well, tough biscuits people. If you had been there it would not only be the thing you write 3 sketchy blogs about, but it would be what you […]
