One thing I was not expecting to come across when browsing the net yesterday was a scathing attack on Arsenal. No it wasn’t Samir Nasri, Ashley Cole or Emmanuel Adebayor. Hell it wasn’t even Patrice Evra or a Barcelona player for once. The man in question is the Gunners ‘quiet’ right-back Bacary Sagna.
Steve Bould; Arsenal’s signing of the summer?
I’m sure that you, just like I am, have been shocked and impressed by Arsenal’s defensive displays so far this campaign. This time last season, we’d just been humiliated 8-2 at Old Trafford, had already conceded 10 goals in the Premier League, and we looked a million miles away from even finishing in the top […]
Arsenal Fans Abroad – How to Become a Man
You live abroad, supporting your team based on some individual event rather than inheriting your grandfather’s or great-grandfather’s team. One singular unifying event has drawn in your support and not just watching the occasional game on the telly.

Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal Review
On the eve of Arsenal visiting Liverpool I got changed to go to the bar, and without thinking I put on my Arsenal polo “2-0 Arsenal, It’s up for grabs now!” and head out for drinks. That innocuous act helped Arsenal, I am convinced of that. When I wake up in the morning all I […]
Liverpool v Arsenal preview
So it’s another week with another tricky away trip. Yes, Liverpool are a bunch of thieving scousers. Yes, they sign crap players for stupid amounts of money. Yes, they then loan/sell them for pennies a year later. Yes, they still play Jamie Carragher who lost all footballing ability about 3 seasons ago (but is still […]
The Wenger bus is……….parked
Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal have lit up the Premier League in the past decade with some of the best football ever seen on these shores, but nobody’s jumping inside the Emirates so far this term. With two goalless draws in their first two outings in the Premiership this season, the pressure is on for Wenger and […]
The mood swings of a Gooner
The first thing is the title, “The mood swings of a Gooner,” auto-correct made it say ‘goner.’ That seems pretty apt at the present moment. My emotions have been on a bi-polar rollercoaster over the since Easter, but for the first time I feel like I may never recover. Am I resigned to this fate? […]
Arsene missing the transfer boat?
It’s been a busy close-season transfer window for Arsenal. While the acquisitions of Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla have been encouraging, already the window is starting to acquire a tinge of that familiar old feeling: disappointment.
