Arsenal: The Salmon leap
Bom Dia Positivistas, Yesterday’s Trafford Park contest is not one I shall look back with much pleasure. A draw a fair result and given our overall performance probably the best we might have expected. I have a phobia of early 12.30 kick-offs on Saturdays, with painful memory of being out of the game before […]
Arsenal Versus Man United: Sceptic Stew’s Septic Stew
The international break came at rather a good time for me. In one way at least. Not in a ‘let’s all sit down and enjoy some great football kind of way’ – chance would be a fine thing. I refer more to my Quixotic attempt to add a couple of thousand words each day to […]

Stick around and I will share with you. I will start with the premise that there is a large body of Arsenal fans hanging fiercely to the belief […]
Arsenal – More And Less Than A Derby
Good morning Positive Arsenal fans. A blustery Monday morning in Norfolk as we move into an interesting week, though the international football is to be our primary focus over the next few days. Of yesterday’s game? A fair result punched out by two sides that worked hard for 95 minutes. Our visitors had the edge […]
Arsenal Versus Spurs: Love Your Neighbour, But Maintain Your Fence
Because we have a strict door policy here on Positively Arsenal we were, in the early days when anybody cared to take any notice of us, decried for all sorts of reasons. Elitism, snobbery, and being anti democratic to name but three. Yesterday, in a spirit of what I can only assume was one of […]
