What a jigsaw of a day !    It has take me a little while to put the jigsaw together – but I have it at last.     Waking up this morning (eventually) the events of all of yesterday, from waking up in the early hours with the fan’s usual nightmare of leaving my […]

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” Mark Twain. In my more optimistic moments I like to think this […]

I have never done this before, and I doubt it will ever happen again, I haven’t asked our friend Mean Lean permissions so I hope he is not upset. Everyone must read this  http://www.arsenalvision.co.uk/articles/4605-its-time-for-a-change.html   its by @The _Beck and its the  “Citizen Kane ” of blogs supporting the Club.  

Is this as bad as it can be? Let us hope so, because if we are honest, it’s dire. How did it come to this? This was supposed to be a thing of the past, but sometimes you get the feeling that you are in some weird Matrix thing, on a torturous loop. It feels […]

Partly cloudy, 13°C, light showers, expected around kick off time. That is the extent of the useful factual information I can impart – and so to the pre match review.     Formidable hoopla in the media and Twitterworld this morning preceding our trip to Goodison. Barely a mention of the return of Ramsey. Ah […]

I lost my innocence in the summer of ‘77, the year that Elvis died. It wasn’t Elvis’s fault and it wasn’t that sort of innocence either. For that I’d have to take you to a seedy back-street in Singapore a few years earlier, but the less remembered about that the better, and it isn’t that […]

Arsene’s contract situation is becoming a concern to me. I believe it is a mistake to leave us all in limbo in this way. From what we are led to believe, there is an offer of extension on the table, just waiting for him to put pen to paper. There is speculation as to its […]

You either believe in this team – or you don’t. You either believe Arsene is still a great manager – or you don’t. I do, but I have to admit  my faith has been tested of late. In the context of what has gone before, yesterdays performance  was truly exceptional. So lets take a moment […]

I was asked a simple and fair question on twitter some time ago by Andy Wood ‏@yorkshiregunner . “Tell me George, will you still support Arsenal when Arsene leaves?” (As people continue to misquote my reply here again  is the blog I wrote about it) Now I understand that it was a snide question, a […]

I can’t bring myself to talk about last night. It was horribly poor and unlucky. Our season has stuttered. It looks like the title challenge is over. In fact after last night fourth is looking like it might be close. Someone or something must be to blame. I mean people are disappointed, hurt, angry, they […]
