Bournemouth FC v Arsenal FC, Back at it.

Hello! How are you? Good to be back from the lull of the international ‘break’? On Saturday the 19th of October 5.30pm (western European time) the mighty cannon takes up positions against Bournemouth FC down at Dean Court, Dorset. Hopefully all our players will come back from the international scraps with no scrapes and will […]

Now That’s What I Call Football.

Good morning all. I don’t know about you, but I loved that game of football. We can’t yearn for the Champaign football of Arsene and then moan about how we made hard work of winning yesterday. For me it was the best we have played, at least on an aesthetic level, in more than 6 […]

GUNS NORTHWARD HO!

Manchester City v Arsenal FC. Hello! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. Autumns speeding on, soon the leaves will be falling like something described in a 17th century haiku, floating down gently to cover up the sneaky dog-turds that apparently bless you with good luck should skid in one. Its at this time of […]

THE MEN FROM ATLANTIS!

Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio v Arsenal FC Hello! How are you, hope you are well? On Thursday, September 19th at 8.00pm (western European time) we haul our Mighty Cannon like old Hannibal over the Alps, down into Bella Italia and set up attacking positions at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy, Europe, the planet Earth, […]

Effective Arsenal.

Good morning all. That my fellow positives was, as they endlessly say, was a massive win. Humongous even. We went there short of two of our most important and consistent players, and came away with all 3 points. Marvelous. What more could we ask for? Well, funny you should ask that, because that question confuses […]

The VAR Revolution; English Football and Arsenal

VAR at the 2018 World Cup is the 21st century Russian Revolution. It is the football equivalent of  “Seven Days That Shook The World” over 100 years ago.  As happened in Europe and the world, for decades thereafter, nothing in football refereeing will remain the same after the VAR revolution at the 2018 World Cup. […]

Arsenal vs West Ham: The Sweet Bitter Taste of Victory

Arsenal’s 4:1 margin of victory over West Ham while convincing was no easy romp in the park.  The game took place in the presence of a hugely, omnipresent emotional backdrop triggered by Arsene’s announcement last Friday of his intention to resign at season-end after 22 years. As the television cameras made obvious, the Emirates was […]

Arsenal Is Top Of The Table According To The PGMOL

Greetings Positives, Despite repeated claims to the contrary, it is remarkable how football reflects real life. This may be shocking to those who see football as some form of escape from the every-day challenges of our human existence; stuff like work, home, family, politics, economics, you name it. The harsh reality, however, is professional football […]

The PGMOL vs Arsenal: Data Shows A Clear Pattern of Bias

The award of a phantom penalty vs Arsenal by referee Mike Dean in the New Year’s Day match versus West Bromich Albion has generated a storm of indignation among Gooners worldwide, outraged that once again a major game-changing decision was made this season which has deprived the club of critical points needed to regain its […]

Arsenal: Ignorance Is Strength

As an Arsenal supporter, something that both concerns and annoys me is the constant, unrelenting efforts by the mainstream media to sensationalize and manipulate bits of information to form a patently false narrative about our club. It is common to football as it is to politics and economics. The primary victim of the need to […]
