Arsenal Fans: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
In the midst of all the giddiness and joy among Arsenal fans at the prospect of a brand new, literally shiny, high profile manager taking over the reins of management from that wizened, grizzled old grand-dad we had all gotten used to, something just doesn’t ring true. Don’t get me wrong. Although am a well […]
Arsenal Plan And Execute Managerial Appointment Perfectly
By and large I try not to feel sad for people, but I do feel slightly sad for all those outraged at the appointment of Emery. The concept of a management team maybe putting together a job description, employing Headhunters, compiling a long list, inviting applications, holding interviews, possibly then moving on to a […]

Friends, Gooners, football fans, lend me your ears; I come to bury Wenger, not to praise him; The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones, So let it be with Wenger…The noble Mainstream Media Hath told you Wenger was not ambitious: If it were so, it was […]

The New Arsenal Manager Must Be……..
After many years of arguing about whether or not Arsene should be our manager we can now turn our attentions to fighting about who should be the next manager. We are even managing to fight about how the selection process is done, never mind who should be anointed.(yes that’s not a typo). Everyone will have […]
Arsenal: Another load on the road
Good morning Positives, Another road-trip, another defeat. And the 3-1 loss following a spanking victory at the Emirates a few days previously. The story of the first five months of 2018, play, pause, rewind, play. Of last night’s game it was likely to be a ‘tricky’ fixture with Leicester’s players and beleaguered manager seeking salvation […]

An Adventure of a Lifetime – Merci Beaucoup Arsene
@5MinuteFinal aka ‘Improper Fan’ puts the pen to work to describe his regard Arsene Wenger Where do I start! There’s Ludovico Einaudi’s Oltremare playing in the background as I pen this, and the music is so deep that it’s evoked a slow-motion collage of Arsene’s finest moments running through my head. A tear drop hits […]
