Arsenal v the Smoggies – it is early yet

Dear Positivitas, please find below the wise and no doubt the carefully considered words of a Smoggie, Mr Stroller by name who has been a supporter of Boro since Jack Charlton was a small boy. Bill offers a spot of history, a spot of technical football analysis and – well, yes, on Valentine’s Day – […]

Three Games

Evening Positive heads and a late epistle before settling down to an evening of midweek football. How unlucky that the new TV deal was not signed that would have allowed me to watch the two masters of the long ball in action at the Britannia tonight ! I shall hide my disappointment. I presume we […]

NLD From The Eyes Of A Spurs Fan.

Following the post from anicoll5, here is one from our resident Spud, Yido6061 . Don’t forget to read Andrew’s if this is your first visit today. You spend half a season moaning about the state of football and then when you actually sit down to try and think of how we, as supporters, can change […]

Calling at the Neighbours in N17

Morning fellow Positivistas from a grey Norfolk, under three hours to go before Mr Atkinson peeps and the North London derby roars into life, and we know that this lunchtime’s game will have more roar than a dark cave of peckish polar bears don’t we ? I have attended, seen on the box, listened to […]

Managing Arsenal, It Soooo Easy

  Tactics, formations and set ups. It seems every Arsenal fan is an expert on them. Yes we all know them well,  all of us bar Arsene that is. I mean its easy, right? Start with a world class goalkeeper. One that dominates his area and controls the defenders. Next we want a couple of […]

WOBs On The Ropes

Today we have a post from  @Shotta_gooner. Although I agree wholeheartedly with my old friend and ally, I was tempted not to post this. My thinking is that there are reasonable people (although I struggle to accept those reasons) that think it is time for Arsene to step aside. When I use the term WOB, […]

Heroes and Villans

Andrew alerted me to a piece in the Independent last week. For those of you from outside of the UK the Indie is that rarest of beasts; a quality tabloid newspaper. It has featured some of my favourite ever journalists including Fergal Keane and the utterly peerless Robert Fisk who not only understand their subject […]

Do We Have To Hate Spurs To Be “Proper Arsenal”?

Last night I caused a bit of a kerfuffle on twitter when I posted this . Positively Arsenal @Blackburngeorge · No doubt in my mind that I want Spurs to beat Chelsea, and beat them well. Apparently this is unacceptable to the “Local club for local people, proper Arsenal” crew, and was interpreted to mean that […]

Are Fans Still Ignorant and Stupid ?

Its now two years since Positively Arsenal swung open its door and welcomed people into it warm and friendly community. Well. alright, we welcomed in those we agreed with and shut out those we don’t. I have no problem admitting that comments that are overtly abusive or just daft are not approved. In other words […]

If You Love Football, You Love Rosicky.

Rosicky’s shirt in the Borussia Dortmund Museum A record attendance yesterday evening at the new Brighton and Hove Albion Stadium to see them play The Arsenal play for the second time in the cup in the last few years. I guess the Brighton fans enjoyed the football last time out. Not forgetting the Arsenal support: […]
