Arsenal Edging Closer – Time To Enjoy, Time To Be Happy
Time to go home? It’s a bit late to start enjoying yourself now, isn’t it? When can I start enjoying the season? Arsenal are top of the Premier League, in the 5th round of the FA cup, and have two fantastic ties in the Champions League to look forward to. Yet every time I celebrate […]
Why Not ?
Today’s report is by our friend Andrew ( @anicoll5 ) Arsene went with a strong starting line up as, I think, most predicted and at times last night his decision to go with experience and proven quality looked fully vindicated. He knows you know. Bravo the Sky blues one and all. For anyone who had […]
That FA Cup Night Feeling – Coventry Sent To Arsenal
Today’s post is by arse_or_brain . Putting the ‘Friday’ into FA Cup . “I think he has done a remarkable job and the one thing about him is that he has been true to himself and true to his beliefs and the one thing that has been difficult for him is that I think other […]
Arsenal’s Media Position Explained.
A post from ZimPaul. The role of mass media is not in any way to reflect consensus, especially a consensus that will upset a status quo and vested interests. A nod in the direction of “popular consensus” maybe, where it doesn’t matter, while all the time selecting “news” in the opposite direction to that of […]
Let’s All Ignore Arsenal (“2 Points Off City Now”)
Today a guest post from Muppet (@MuppetGooner ) With possibly the tweet of 2014, Rob Ross (@gooner145) nails apparent media attitudes towards AFC I read over the weekend that if the title race was down to media perception, then Arsenal would be 5th.

United’s Plight Highlights Arsene’s Brilliance
Today a guest post by Alastair Brookshaw @albrookshaw A recent (somewhat transparent) PR drive by the Glazers has seen talk of a £100, or even £200, million war chest being made available for floundering David Moyes. But if that’s true, it will signal a marked change in United’s transfer policy over the past 5 years. […]
Another Saturday In January
I am a cautious fan. I avoid assumption, I shun prediction. Too often has the finger of astonishment been bitten by the teeth of regret. Nevertheless I was sure. I was certain. Along with the vast majority of the congregation gathered, including the long suffering Fulham chapter, I would see an easy home victory illuminated […]
Arsenal’s Mistakes.
A Classic Mistake (Bayern Munich 0 – 2 Arsenal, 13th March 2013). I am told all the time “In the last 8 years Arsene has made mistakes” Normally I reply with one of my two stock answers: A) “No shit Sherlock” or B) “Perhaps, but not as many as someone else would have,and not as […]
The Özil Effect
Today a guest post by Tim Head Mesut Ozil, one of the all-time greats … Throughout the summer we heard calls for a marquee signing, and a suggestion that Arsenal under Wenger could not only not compete at the high end of the transfer market but actively didn’t want to do so. Some fans suggested […]
