Is it the game that’s funny, the fans or Arsenal’s cash flow? I was chatting to someone during the game last night who made the point that in the 1960’s and ’70’s we hardly knew who was running the club beyond the Manager. Relatively little was really known about Bertie Mee, even, let alone the […]

A guest post from  @TraderChris87 .  I cant stand for his figures so dont shoot the messenger.      A common criticism of the club is that “we have massive cash reserves and we don’t spend it”. Someone on Twitter yesterday said to me that in 2009 we had £72m of “spare cash” that we didn’t spend. […]

A guest post from  @TraderChris87   Three weeks ago, Borrusia Dortmund took on Bayern Munich. Whilst a few years ago this may have been a clash of the heavyweights in a Champions League Final, this is no longer the case.

Arsenal supporters from a different era … The salient points from yesterday’s game, courtesy of Northbank1969: “I’m still looking on the bright side.

From their apparent understanding of the game, it would appear not that many. Now, I’m not a qualified coach, nor am I that good at football. I […]

A post from Tim @foreverheady stolen for the comments section without his permission  Leaving aside a couple of free kicks there is quite a similarity between Alexis’s goals this season and Aaron’s from last season. Someone clever would be able to do a video compilation of them both, no doubt, The main difference it seems […]

The way I feel right now, this could be my last article. I’ve lost faith in people to think or behave reasonably. The negativity is stomach turning. Still, this is not another rallying call, or a dig at the fans, goodness knows we all have reasons to be unhappy. Before I go on, let me […]

Risky thing, ambition …   Competition in the Premier League has never been more fierce and the evidence for this lies all around in the form of the shattered dreams of the fans of Spurs, Liverpool, United and, to a lesser extent, even Man City. The first two are evidence that simply spending a vast […]
