Arsenal’s brightest young star set to shine again I read yesterday that Arsenal intend to offer Aaron Ramsey a double your money contract extension  ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/10676875/Arsenal-set-to-reward-Aaron-Ramsey-with-100000-a-week-deal.html ) . Aaron is in the same position as Jack, AOC, Gibbs and Jenkinson in that he is about one year into his current deal.  So why would the […]

Why do we torture ourselves with things we know deep down do not make logical sense? After every draw or loss, there is a deluge of anger and melancholy on social media about things we would either know to be mendacious statements if we took the time to examine it obdurately or things we do […]

“If you can keep your head …” It’s 9 am Sunday morning and I am just starting to write about the events that began to unfold some 18 hours ago.  I haven’t been able to eat or sleep and I feel like shit. That’s what football can do. Perhaps I would feel better if I […]

Today  a guest post from La Gooner Vida   Morning Gooners! The lads face the daunting task of being bored to death by a posse of lack-wit Neanderthals up north today. The media would have us believe that their trainer Hughes has inspired some sort of revolution at the club. I for one beg to […]

Today’s post is by PA regular Double Canister.  “He is Arsène Wenger on the pitch.” I was prompted to write this after I saw a tweet to George saying as much and felt I could expand a bit on why I believe it is so. I would have to state my conflict of interest first […]

Today’s post is by PA regular Anicoll5 Who – me?! The dust has safely settled on Wednesday and we face a very different prospect at 3 bells on Saturday with the arrival of Sunderland at the Grove. It is good that we have a game so swiftly after Munich and even better it is at […]

Today is the view from the stand by Passenal. Just back from the game and despite the result I’m not downbeat at all! It was a fantastic game of football for the first 30 minutes between two teams who wanted to play the game the way it’s meant to be played. And we were great […]

Belief. We live in a world where every aspect of our lives is controlled by belief. This most intriguing of psychological states is perhaps responsible for the shaping of our world more than anything else. The romantics may argue love and the cynics may argue greed is equally responsible, yet nothing is more dangerous than […]

Today a guest post by @anicoll5 A mild glow suffuses my normally stern features this Monday morn, allowing my mind to meander across the memory of a fine game of football with both a performance and a result I had been hoping for.  Very nice, very nice indeed.  Top marks to our visitors who put […]

If Arsenal lose today and lose heavily on Wednesday they will be left with only the league to play for, with their confidence in tatters and the fan base in meltdown, baying for the manager’s blood. At least that is the doomsday scenario that has been put forward by some, including John Cross and  Paul […]
