Sometimes I wonder why I bother with this site. What  porpose does it have? I have written dozens of articles and said nothing new, original or educational. The regulars in the comments section , on the whole, know more about football and Arsenal than I do. I cant write like any of the other authors […]

A guest post from Double Canister. Sunderland came and earned the point that makes them safe, Arsenal, despite numerous efforts to do more, managed to earn the point that should deliver 3rd place – leaving any chance of closing in on City for second place impossible now on the final day of the season. Wenger […]

By: Shotta, @shotta_gooner Bloody hell. “Arsenal’s transfer policy has been too weak – they need to get ruthless” was the headline in a recent edition of The Daily Telegraph, supposedly one of England’s last remaining “respectable” broadsheets. From the get-go it seems the newspaper and their hack had lost sight of their role as impartial […]

This might come as a surprise to many of you, but I quite often get into arguments on twitter. I used to get into spats in the comment section of blogs too, until the ringmaster put an abrupt end to that bit of fun. The problem is that I tend to resort to sarcasm , […]

A Guest Post from Finsbury Swansea have in recent times evolved their Arsenal as all good football teams aspire. Never mind the boring boring media narratives of attractive vs. boring football which ignore all context and understanding of Football (or most revealingly funding) the sort of understanding that allows a seven year old to copy the […]

A Guest post from Shotta, @shotta_gooner “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?“ Did you know there was a mini-pitch invasion by at least 2 or 3 Manchester United supporters when they scored their match winning goal vs Crystal Palace on Saturday? […]

A guest post from  shottagunna  ( @shotta_gooner ) By now we are all familiar with the recent punditry of Thierry Henry, when, from the comfort of his perch at Sky Sports, he declared that for Arsenal to win the league again “I think they need to buy four players – they need that spine. They […]

I made the mistake of listening to Talk Sport radio immediately after the Liverpool – Villa game last night. It was full of irate scousers demanding that Rogers is sacked. This is the same man that took their team within a Gerrard slip of winning the PL last  season. Now I know their stars aligned […]

So there we have it, Arsenal are in the final of the FA cup. Again. OK. not the most scintillating performance , but not half as bad as people like to say. Quite how a team with 71% possession , twice as many efforts on goal, while committing half the number of fouls and hitting […]

Twitter is basically a forum for idle gossip, unsubstantiated speculation and general nonsense. I spend a lot of time on there doing just those things and make no apologies for it. Its fun. it gives me an idea of what people think, expect and how little thought many people put into forming their opinions. Yesterday […]
