Arsenal fans always seem to find the silver lining; it’s our gift. Our ability to find the silver lining has created the fourth place trophy. It has also created other forms of denial, “lack of fixture congestion” and “we had nothing to play for anyway.” The latter two are true of getting knocked out, but […]
Online gaming’s impact on football In many ways, football is practically the world’s most popular sport. It has unified and promoted solidarity amongst towns, cities, and entire nations in its vast and expansive history.

So then, Stoke City, away. An almost perennial nadir for Gooners. A tried and tested script that contains all the predictable tropes; like an old Bond film on the box during a Sunday afternoon… – Ultra-defensive set up from the home side to counter the (non-existent) Arsenal attacking threat. – Arsenal players spitefully kicked by […]
Arsenal v Everton Match Preview -Time To Focus Arsenal face a test of their silverware-challenging credentials when they welcome Everton to the Emirates in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday lunchtime. Everton had already pinched a point off Arsenal earlier in the season when the Toffees drew 1-1 here in December. Roberto Martínez was the […]
Change is a word defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as ‘an act or process through which something becomes different.’ If they needed an example, ‘Arsenal Ladies, winter 2013’ would certainly suffice. The Ladies have seen a mass exodus since their last competitive game, against Glasgow City in November. Steph Houghton joined Manchester City, Gilly […]
