Good day to you all, fellow Gooners. I hope this column finds you all well, and enjoying your 2014 so far. Sadly, whilst the latest Arsenal result (more on that later) had been extremely gratifying, this year has been costly so far… Firstly, my daughter has joined a nursery, who will entertain the little gremlin […]
Forget the prayers! We need a rallying call… Step forward a Manninger! Priest – “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the passing of the 2013/14 season for Arsenal Football club…..” Dan Dan the Arsenal fan – “Whoa, whoa, whoa, just hold onto your trunks there Padre… what do you mean? The passing, […]
It’s January, it’s the transfer season. But I don’t want to talk transfer rumours today. I want to talk about transfer tactics, which are a huge topic in Germany at the moment. As everyone may have read, the Robert Lewandowski saga came to an end this Saturday. Nothing to be surprised about to be honest […]
In recent years the Arsenal side have been accused of being a “one man team” by fans of other sides. At least that was the views prior to last season. With the departures of club captains Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas, two of the players who at times carried the side in years gone […]
Well that felt good didn’t it? Not only did we breeze past the old enemy once again on our own turf, but we dumped them out of the FA Cup to effectively end their season in January, so it would seem. While the recent 5-2 victories over Tottenham Hotspur have proved historic occasions that will […]
Week Twenty One – North London is Red The first thing I was going to do was wish you all a happy new year but if, like me, it’s your first proper day back at work today, after a nice Christmas break, the first person who says “Happy New Year, buddy, nice Christmas?” you want […]
Arsenal dominated the second North London Derby of the season to beat Sp*rs 2-0 in the FA Cup 3rd Round at the Emirates Stadium yesterday. Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky scored the decisive goals in a game in which Arsenal could have added several more, as the visitors rarely threatened us and we were able […]
Well what a fabulous match yesterday against the old enemy. I am still smiling and can’t see that changing for a while. I am sure there will be a serious match report or 2 on the site today but just quickly I wanted to ask you 10 questions about the match just to see if […]
Happy New Year everyone. A few days ago Jack Wilshere tweeted: “Hope 2014 is the year I get my hands on the Premier League trophy!” It could well be and one of the reasons could be down to a few very important wins in December, which saw Arsenal end the year top of the league. […]
Happy 2014 Gooners, and what a wonderful way to bring in the year; three points gained from Cardiff City again, to add to a very successful Christmas period that saw relegation-doomed West Ham put to the sword by a late Arsenal comeback, and then a spirited Newcastle side suffocated at home and Olivier Giroud getting […]
