DB’s Season Diary Week 34 This is one of those strange times I occasionally encounter when writing this diary the way I do, when as I write there is absolutely jack shit going on. The respectable draw with Manchester City at the weekend meant there was no Monday morning meltdown, the lack of a fixture […]
Everton 3 Arsenal 0 – Superb Everton Show That Change Can Be Good It’s tough to know where to start or how to construct any narrative after watching Arsenal again get completely outplayed in an away game against one of the Premier League’s top five clubs. Our 3-0 defeat at Everton again highlighted an inability […]
Arsenal’s midfield metronome Mikel Arteta has proven to be one of Arsene Wenger’s most successful signings over the past number of years. Along with Per Mertesacker, the Spaniard came in and stabilised the team when the squad was crying out for a game dictator. A secure maestro if you like. His awareness, distribution and positioning […]
Good afternoon you Gooners, I am going to cover an Arsenal subject today that has had me scratching my head since 2011. No-one seems to be able to explain the background story of this transfer nor what followed and I hope this post results in a ‘Deep Throat’ type character (steady…) stepping out from the […]
Is this (Ramsey’s 2014 injury return) the most pressure we have ever put on Aaron Ramsey? I believe it is. While Aaron Ramsey has been injured a few times in his career, two times stand out above the rest. First, the devastating leg break and now his current time away from the squad. When Ryan […]
We’ve been around for 128 years and have, on the whole, experienced great success. Arsenal fans have plenty to be proud of, even if it’s been close to nine years without a trophy to speak of. While that drought should end in May when, providing we beat Wigan Athletic, we reach the FA Cup final. […]
I ended last month talking about how March was make or break for this Arsenal side in terms of challenging for the title. Would we show the mental strength and fight that all champions need to demonstrate at this time of the campaign? Or would we crumble under what has been our Achilles heel all […]
So, it seems that anyone can get a job on Sky Sports these days and the latest ex-pro not good enough to try his arm at being a pundit is, England deserter and Ginger Henchman, Paul Scholes. In an attempt to ingratiate himself with the masses, he has jumped on the populist bandwagon and dug […]
Week 32 – Virtual Insanity I’ve said a couple of times this season that it can be difficult to write when things are going well for Arsenal, as there is far less to dwell on or debate over when everybody is happy. If I can just ask you one favour, and that is if you ever […]
Its’ a bit cliché, but being an Arsenal fan isn’t half an up and down adventure. Supporters of every club claim to be on a rollercoaster ride during the season, but we’ve really seen a mass fluctuation in mood, performances and results over the past couple of weeks. Protests, drubbings, a derby win, disappointing draws, […]
