Welcome to ‘Rocky’s Round Up.’ My third look back at the previous months highs and lows from a passionate fans perspective. We began with ‘feel good,’ had a wobble or two, a few wins when not playing so well, always a good sign and ended on a real high. Players to return and a huge […]
Ooh to ooh to be,ooh to be a ‘Gay’ Gooner!
In the United States, at least, to be an openly gay (sadly, over here, being queer still needs to be prefaced by “openly,” but a separate issue for another time) sports fan is viewed somewhat askance. We’re just looking at the players is a common refrain, as if one can’t be queer and a student […]
Hey, John Dubya! Want some of what we’re smoking at Arsenal?! – AFC v LFC Reflections
♪ What a diff’rence a day makes, 24 little hours ♪ Oh how I wish Dinah Washington remixed it to “What a diff’rence 4 days make, 96 little hours”, it would’ve been so so much more fitting. Can we all just for a moment cast our minds back to the mauling we took at the […]
‘It’s Up For Grabs Now!’ – Arsenal vs Liverpool
After our midweek slump against Chelsea, I can think of teams I’d rather play that Liverpool at the moment. Liverpool are in a good run of form, not dissimilar to us and will want to do everything to keep that momentum going. With two defeats in two games at The Emirates, we can’t afford to […]
Arsenal; Splash £25m on Lars Bender, stick with Wojciech Szczesny, Nicklas Bendtner out, Chu-Young Park’s alive
Five things we have learnt about Arsenal this week: Hello gang, thanks for dropping by and coming back for some more of my own-brand, taste the difference pieces on our beloved Arsenal Football Club. I for one have had an interesting week; my eleven month old daughter has been recovering from her first stomach bug […]
Four tactical Arsenal errors that Arsene Wenger MUST FIX NOW that could otherwise cost them this season
Many of us flock to the computer in the morning to read the latest blogs by serial Arsenal bloggers Arseblog and Gunnerblog. There are many other solid blogs out there, but those two always struck me as the two largest from our kin. Most of the time I agree completely with what they say, and […]
Could Olivier Giroud get the Golden Boot this season?
If you forget about the recent losses at the Emirates against Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, it’s been a very good start to the season. We’re top of the Premier League, spent big money on a genuinely world-class player in Mesut Ozil and have a good chance of getting through our group in the Champions […]
Arsenal fans BEWARE, Frightening November could spell the end of your Premier League title hopes
The first Arsenal Halloween Special “The Bitches of Chiswick/All you need is luck (or some piss in the corner flags.)” It’s a freezing cold night at the end of October, the first truly cold night, one of those where the cold enters you and really announces that winter is well and truly here. It’s dark, […]
Intelligent Family Club Arsenal described as ‘BEAUTIFUL SHOW OFF DOLPHINS!’
A bit of a wacky one this week! But hopefully a piece that helps you to appreciate the beautiful football Arsenal play in a completely different way! Of course, the past couple of weeks haven’t been quite as good, but I’m sure you’ll have no problem casting your mind back to the beautiful football we’ve […]
Arsenal Safety Police against cauldron Emirates atmosphere despite pleading of die-hard Gooners
Us and Them. One club. Two factions. No. Not the WOB vs WKB. I’m talking about ‘us’ the fans and ‘them’ the Club. Once again the club enforced a double standard policy allowing the away support to do as they please whilst the home support was policed. Stewards were seen littered amongst the Block 19 section ensuring playful […]
