Arsenal Versus Sunderland: Sparkling Near The Brim

Is it just me or does it seem an awfully long time ago that we last had a game of footy to contemplate? I suspect the schedule of one match every twenty minutes which we experience over the Christmas and New Year holiday acclimatises us to a more frantic agenda. Combine that with the ominous […]

Arsenal Players and Management – Analysed !

Well, it’s a new year and I think that’s a good time to look at the squad and management. So let’s analyse them individually through my expert eyes. Petr Čech A Chelsea back up player that showed us all we need to know when he threw in two during our first league game against West […]

Arsenal Didn’t Fail In The Austerity Years

Today a guest post from Muppet. written on New Years day  —————————————————————————————————————————————– We are top and I must admit I didn’t expect to be top. Whenever I consider Arsenal and Wenger, it’s difficult to do so whilst being as objective and impartial as possible. The fear is that one will upset people who feel they […]

Arsenal – Average performance, good result

Boker Tov Positivistas, I think the lesson I take from this season’s Festive football fixtures is “to expect the unexpected”, and perhaps it will be the theme of the whole 2015/2016 campaign? Having allowed the in game adrenaline to cool I enjoyed the game yesterday. We were clearly not at our best. After a bright opening […]

Arsenal Versus Newcastle: Forked Tongues and Red Faces

See, that’s the kind of seemingly innocent enquiry which really chafes my backside, brings me out in hives and makes me want to go hunt down the editors who instruct their minions to ask such loaded questions. Journalist to Arsène at this week’s presser: “Can you tell us a bit more about the work he’s […]

Arsenal Are Top, Who Could Have Guessed?

So here we are, the New Year arrives with The Arsenal sitting atop the Premier league. 2015 saw us accumulate considerably more points than any other team, not to mention retaining the FA cup. We signed a genuine world class goal keeper and kept all the talent we had. Everyone must be happy then?  Right? […]

Thank You, Red Action

 We’ve seen many amongst the great and the good, speak upon behalf of most Arsenal fans. The usual candidates. For years. However it was only in the last twenty four-odd months or so that more support was given by these uber-supporters via their podcasts etc, towards the very small group of non-self promoting people behind […]

Arsenal – Steady as she goes

Güete Morge Positivistas, A mood of satisfaction this morning after events at the Ems yesterday evening. The ship is off the rocks, the holes in the hull patched, re-floated, and back on course. Half way point, top of the league, coping well with long term injuries to players who appeared to be pivotal, playing good […]

Arsenal Versus Bournemouth: Many A Slip

The sad thing is I’d been having a nice Christmas up until then. Shan’t be sending Mr Moss a card next year that’s for sure. Some people have tried to claim that as he missed a couple of other offences we shouldn’t be cross with him for gifting Southampton the game. Fascinating logic. That’s as […]

Arsenal – It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves

  Ulaakut Positivistas, A shortish post mortem. We sustained a beating last night at St Mary’s. Given our run of form, and the almost routine despatch of our closest title rivals on Monday it looked a match we could expect at worst a point from. Klopp’s Red and White Army had run the fox to […]
