Arsenal Versus Tottenham: Journey To The Gods
I’m reading a book written by one of my favourite authors. John Hillaby was a naturalist, historian, international perambulator extraordinaire and above all a damned fine writer. The journeys he undertook and later wrote about are littered with fascinating insights into the history of the places through which he passed and observations on the present […]
Arsenal : When you find yourself going through Hell, keep going
Good Morning Positivistas, What a night ! A delicious opportunity to reel in Tottingham and Leicester thrown away, three points that is seemed we must pick up during a good first half performance surrendered to Swansea. The evening ended with a number of players slumped, and I imagine that physical deflation was multiplied by the […]
Arsenal Versus Swansea: An Ugly Lovely Game
Ever wished you didn’t have a game to watch quite so soon? Usually I find a quick turn around to be the best medicine, get the stench of defeat out of the emotional laundry with the fresh breeze of a new fixture. Unfortunately I also like to spend a few days convincing myself that it […]
The Critical Gooner: Where Does It Start And Where Does It End?
They used to go everywhere together … For some fans of Arsenal, the relationship they have with the club is akin to what I imagine a failing marriage, patched up ‘for the sake of the kids’ but fundamentally dysfunctional, feels like. The feeling of having been here before, the compromises, the same old arguments, the […]
Arsenal : Oh Cruel Fate …..

Arsenal Versus Manchester United : Sympathy For The Devils
Ricky Gervais is a funny bloke. A far more talented actor than he is ever given credit for and pretty sound on several issues, most obviously our systematic abuse of other species. He also likes to wind people up. Not with the mindless trolling employed by those less cerebrally gifted than him but in a […]
Arsenal v Barcelona:Heard and not Seen
Normally you would be in the expert hands of Andrew and he would be writing this up, however he’s on the old Eurostar going or coming, to here or there so I’ve volunteered to stand in or write in or write up, and no doubt will soon be standing down.Perhaps it is “writes up?” but […]
Arsenal From A Distance.
I could start by explaining how I became an Arsenal fan. But it does not really matter how you come to love the club. All that really matter is that you do. In the past it was a simple matter, you supported your local club, your hometown team. If you lived in a large city […]
Arsenal – the chimes of lunchtime
Good afternoon Positive Arsenal, A 0-0 draw against the Championship leaders was certainly not the result that I and probably any Arsenal fans were expecting, and it would have been the hardest of Hull die-hards that have predicted they would escape from the Ems with draw. But there we are, that is football, ever unpredictable. The […]
