Arsenal Fans Need A Reality Check !
Before I go into anything today, please understand that this article is not a defence of Arsene Wenger. It has nothing to do with him, nothing ! OK? I am going to lay out, in the most simple of terms, why Arsenal should not be expected to win the PL and ECL, and using very […]
Arsenal Versus Nobody: What I Did On My Holidays – Part 1
It never ceases to astonish me just how much I accomplish from the moment the curtain falls on the football season. It seems illogical. The game itself is played over ninety minutes and even allowing for added time and the fifteen minute break for the players to enjoy their oranges and a vigorous rub down […]
Can An Idiot Be An Expert ?
The other day I was chatting on twitter to Peter Wood from Le Grove. He pointed out to me that it didn’t matter that I had proven him wrong because football was about “opinions“.That was the fun of football. Talking about it and having “opinions”. In fact, he told me I was boring for […]
Has Wenger Changed ?
A Guest Post from Muppet ( @MuppetGooner ) Perhaps we should be concerned with more pressing matters, but I couldn’t ignore when a 1st world problem appeared on Twitter. The assertion that Wenger had changed was made by a well known blogger, and therefore all was well. Well, nice to hear, given that this particular […]
Arsenal Must Buy ! Really ? Says Who ?
A guest post from Muppet ( @MuppetGooner } No sooner as we had won the FA Cup, the media narrative was being played out in the newspapers and on the radio. We were being reminded of our entitlement to the premier league. Of course, this was due to the amount of money we are all […]
Transfer Troubles, Big Ones
A Guest post by Eduardo (stolen from the comments) I have no shame. Since the upturn in form in the second half of the season the thought has occurred to me many times, and was only reinforced by the outstanding performance in the FA Cup Final, that this summers transfer window will probably be Arsene […]
A manager is a guide
Morning Positivistas, or for those of you taking in the blog elsewhere in the world or later in the day good afternoon, evening etc. I am coming into the morning with a greater serenity than yesterday, the job “done”, the adrenaline subsided, the tools required for this supporting malarkey cleaned and stored in the shed […]
Arsenal Versus Aston Villa: History Beckons
I didn’t bother going out for my usual ride yesterday. The west of England was suffocated under a bleak grey cloud. An unseasonably cold wind drove the rain remorselessly down deserted streets and across the sodden green fields. The mountain bike remained in the shed and I remained in front of my computer intending to […]
The League Table Doesn’t Lie
By: Shotta, @shotta_gooner Sports journalism is renowned for clichés that are repeated ad hominem by its practitioners as a substitute for substantive analysis. It is my observation that that these rhetorical tricks are successfully used because they contain an element of truth which is undeniable. But, more times than not, the assorted hacks and pundits […]
Arsenal Sign Off With Aplomb
A guest post from @foreverheady So now it’s over. Another league season done and dusted, and one which after promising so much back in August, looked as if it was going to end with a bit of a tired whimper until Jack and Theo decided differently. Saturday, August 16th seems a long time ago now: […]
