Ambition or Hubris?
Post by Varun Shukla (@wengerarmy) While browsing through the new Arsenal website (which is an absolute corker by the way) I stumbled upon Lee Dixon’s interview. He talked about how he was scouted, approached and signed by Arsenal and his feelings during the entire process. An extract here: “I walked through the marble halls and […]
The Inaugural Bradyesque7 Weekly Round Up
This is the inaugural Bradyesque7 weekly Arsenal round-up. The only place to get your Arsenal both rounded and upped. First up is the arrival of Nacho Monreal on Sky Sports Deadline Day. Monreal was destined to be a professional footballer. His father, a huge supporter of their hometown club, in Spain, is believed to have […]
Joy
Our very own Arsenal Andrew looks to the future Normally I’d hesitate to write at any length about a Reserves’ match, regardless of the branding, be it U21’s, U18s’s or this new-fangled Next Generation business we’ve been keeping half an eye on. And certainly, as I drove my post-pneumonic self to Barnet’s bizarre mountain slope […]
Of Footballers and Fickle Fans
Guest Post by @GBVishJourno Have you sat down to watch the Africa Cup of Nations this year? No, not just sit in front of a computer and spool through YouTube clips but actually turn on the television and watch ninety minutes of African football. Well I have, but you don’t need to watch the tournament […]
It Wasn’t Always Like This
One of the reasons I often bang on about how a gripping, exciting game, preferably one where the lead changes hands or one or both teams stage unlikely come backs, where controversial decisions change the game, is this. I think they’re important. Now I know football isn’t really important. I understand the part it plays […]
Transfer window is closed BUT we missed one HUGE signing!
Guest post by Adi (@positivegunner) So the transfer window filled with ITKs, Exclusives, Airport Sightings, constant reminders of our bank balance and more has finally passed us. We’ve added one genuinely top quality player to play left back as part of a quality foundation that already exists here. Now, this might not be the position […]
Why We Are Approaching The Light At The End Of The Tunnell
A guest Post by @Wilsheristic that looks at the promise that this team holds. “This is the Real Arsenal!” This hair-raising statement from the commentator resonated among the fans as we celebrated the showcase of spectacular football during the game against West Ham. Arsenal had showed us all a teaser of the movie we have all […]
The Next Game Ramble……Liverpool
For those who travel to Arsenal games by canal there is great news, the Department of the Environment have banned water fern, parrot’s feather, floating pennywort, water primrose and Australian swamp stonecrop from these shores. Don’t put your machetes away yet though, these plants are pretty prolific. Only last Sunday Camden looked like a scene […]
Enjoying The Simple Pleasures
Guest post by Matt Windmill (@MattWindmill) The sense of anticipation building as you catch the train, the odd glimpse of a red and white here and there, the knowing looks and acknowledgement from like minded strangers. The breeze as you enter the fragrant air of North London, a sea of red, white, yellow and blue […]
Unity In The Arsenal Community: Peace In Our Time Or Just Fantasy Football?
Guest post by Arsenal Andrew (aka @luckietwit) What a wonderful game we saw played in Brighton at the weekend by two teams equally deserving of much credit, sandwiched as it was between the thug-fest of the earlier kick-off in the semi-deserted Potteries and the passionless snore-fest at Old Trafford. Great calls by the local broadcasters, there, […]
