Thank You Arsenal 1st Team, We’re Moving On Up
Arsenal 1st Team Arsenal Football Club Highbury House 75 Drayton Park LONDON N5 1BU Hi Guys, I won’t be presumptuous. In the unlikely event any of you saw my open letter last week, either through the Arsenal media office or through your PR person, you may be aware that many of us Gooners have […]
An Open Letter to The Arsenal 1st Team
Arsenal 1st Team Arsenal Football Club Highbury House 75 Drayton Park LONDON N5 1BU Dear Fellow Gooner, I write to you as one minor member of the worldwide legion of Arsenal supporters whom you represent week-after-week on the football fields of England and Europe. You may be aware, according to the most recent research (2011), […]
Arsenal Mid-Term: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
On the eve of this, my mid-season review of AFC’s performance in the Premier League, the prevailing mood in the media and blogsphere is of pessimism and despair. Arsenal had dramatically snatched a draw after falling behind 0-3 down to Bournemouth. Instead of joy and optimism that in 20 minutes the club had turned around […]
No Cry Babies Needed At Arsenal
There is a cry-baby culture developing in the wider society that seems to have pervaded the supporters of our great football club, at least among those who frequent Arsenal-twitter. On a societal level, very recently we have had the pathetic, hilarious spectacle of colleges and universities in my country (the good old USA) setting up […]
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 […]
Wenger Will Be The Manager Indefinitely

Due to the longevity of our great manager, we have 20 years of data covering 760 Premier League games that allow us to […]
Arsene vs Pep? As Some Arsenal Bloggers Lose The Plot
Fresh after the Gunners win over Southampton last week, my roving eyes caught a blog that made we weep for everything that is Arsenal. Rather than using his blog to provide his readers with an insight into what Arsene is trying to achieve, the blogger used his headline and more than half of his subsequent prose […]
Now Mr. Wenger Is The Inferior Manager
From all the commentary since September 1st, the transfer window was exceptional for those in the marketplace who believe in the primacy of transfers in attaining competitive success in football. As a result the mainstream media and its fellow travelers milked every ounce of sensationalism they could, jubilantly proclaiming that English clubs had smashed through the […]
Fear And Despair vs The Arsenal
In the post Leicester City presser, Arsene Wenger made some powerful statements in what appears to be a continuing counter-attack against the mainstream media and their ever faithful echo chamber on the interweb who continue to slander and malign him for not “spending” in the transfer window. Speaking of Rob Holding, his most recent signing […]
