Top Of The World
Top of the league and top of the world. I used to love cars. Spent a fortune on them over the years. The one I loved the most was a 1966 MGB Roadster. I bought it in 1990, it had been restored lovingly to concourse condition by an enthusiast who came on hard times during […]
Stoke
Stoke. What can you say about Stoke? Seriously. Apart from Owd Grandad Piggott, May un Mar Lady and the 1842 Pottery Riots the place seems not to have an awful lot going for it. Oh sorry, I forgot there’s the football team. We need to mention the football team. Now. I am well aware of […]
Let’s All Be Friends. Or Not?
I find myself in a state of conflict. I am ecstatically happy about results and the general development of the team and club, yet angry at the treatment they were receiving until very recently. People who have spent years running down the board, manager and players, a situation that reached new heights during the summer, […]
Plan A
As Arsenal are weathering the early home pressure and I search for ways to cope with the rising anger at the hapless biased negativity of the truly horrible commentary team, my thoughts drift to The Plan. Some people have called it Project Youth some have seen it as a series of decisions based entirely upon […]
Talking Through The Arse Episode 3
George and Ronan discuss the victory at Sunderland. Daniel Cowan talks all things Arsenal.
Depleted Class
Well that was most satisfactory. A three one win which could, and perhaps should, have been much more comprehensive. In the first half we were totally dominant with seventy three percent possession away from home, in the second we were less so but still much the better team. One thing that worries me is Laurent […]
Sunderland
I remember my Sunderland review last season. I told you the story of my visit to Roker Park. My many visits. My many unplanned and increasingly frustrating visits as we attempted to escape from Sunderland en route to Cullercoats. In passing I might mention that Cullercoats is a pleasant little seaside town between Tynemouth and […]
I love What We Did This Summer
Guest post by Varun Shukla (@WengerArmy) Excerpt from a newspaper advertisement “…the neocortex is a part of the cerebral hemisphere-its outer layer. It is responsible for logical and specific reasoning. This is an appeal to the masses to donate funds for the replacement of Florentio Perez- our supreme leader and messiah’s neocortex. Healthy donations would […]
Spitting In The Wind
So what the hell happened then? I didn’t watch the internationals, have no interest in them but I did conduct a brief news trawl and it appears that we have lost another five players as a direct result of, or at least at the same time as these irritating fixtures. Honestly it beggars belief that […]
Step Up Super Fans
Another Guest post from @The_Beck_ There’s something special about this week, I’ve wanted to write about it all summer, yet when it came, I felt weirdly empty and lost for words. I’ve struggled to come to terms with what happened last week, even though I was probably one of the few who truly believed […]
