One of the many reasons why I for one at times get sucked into wanting change in our manager is I fear Arsenal are stuck into a cycle. A Cycle controlled by a continuous loop of frailties in mentality. We have changed the players so I concluded that the mentality and the weaknesses we show […]
Good afternoon gang, May is blissfully upon us, I am a year older, wiser and tired-er and have thusly concocted today’s column pre-birthday drinking. On the time of this going live, I desperately hope I am not deliriously hung-over; lying bare and destitute in a ditch/field/stables (delete as applicable). These things cannot be ruled out […]
Arsenal 3 Newcastle United 0 – Arsenal Cruise Towards Inevasible Fourth After a weekend in which results threw open the title and survival races in the Premier League, Arsenal all but secured fourth spot and Champions League football for yet another season after an assured and dominant 3-0 victory against Newcastle United on Monday night […]
Happy Monday Gooners. I find myself in a weird scenario this week as nothing has happened regarding Arsenal since I last wrote on Wednesday. A hell of a lot has happened in the Premier League and World Football since then, but nothing that anyone at the Emirates will particularly care about. We, of course, face […]

European Football – A blessing and a curse As I am writing this, Liverpool have just secured themselves Champions League football while Manchester United have just been guaranteed not to have Champions League football for next season. As for The Arsenal, well, we are stuck somewhere in the middle, again. Three different teams. Three different […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 36 – Argue or Celebrate? There wasn’t much time to bask in our over celebrations after reaching the FA Cup final, with a real chance of picking up our first trophy in nine thousand years, due to a must win game at home to West Ham on Tuesday. There wasn’t a […]
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has given the strongest indication yet that England midfielder, Jack Wilshere will play again this season, and is also likely to be on the plane to Brazil. The 22-year old has been out of action since sustaining a foot injury after a collision with Liverpool’s Daniel Agger in an international friendly […]

It was a blessing in disguise when he signed for Arsenal back in 2011 having enjoyed playing such a critical role […]
