by Andrew Crawshaw This game was against opponents Arsenal know well, we beat them in the Continental Cup final last November, and three times at Borehamwood this season, once in the league and in both the FA Cup and the Continental Cup. The question was could we make it 4 out of 4 this season …

By Sir Hardly Anyone One of the great things about the transfer rumours is that they take no account of reality. We already have a fair number of players in a position, we clearly don’t need any more, and the rumours keep on rolling. We’ve already had 111 players we are signing and 22 leaving, …

By Ima Counter, Professor of Numerological Sciences, University of UnCertain Things, Shetland. The last competition brought in a bumper crop of brilliant commentaries on the name Man Utd.

We have a requested number, and we can’t have any more players anyway” Given the Imminent/Actual arrival of Shkodran …

by Bulldog Drummond. A cheeky football journalist (you know the type – asks a stupid question and the writes down something the respondent never said) asked Mr Wenger this week if he thought that, given the fact that transfer doorway (or “window” as it is often known) expenditure had already exceeded last summer, and we …
by Andrew Crawshaw A quick review of Mr Clattenberg’s performance last week First half he was terrible overall although he had a good start when in Min1 he adjudged the holding between Holding and Huth to be six of one and half a dozen of the other and rightly said no penalty. He was 5 …

By Sir Hardly Anyone You can always tell when the national press think they are on to a true story rather than the meandering gibberish they feed us most days, in that they get one of their own people to write it up, with none of this “according to the Daily Star, reporting that Y …

By Walter Broeckx I remember a few years ago that I wrote an article after Arsenal lost a match. It was an article on how luck can decide the outcome of a match. As it was after Arsenal had lost a match in an unlucky way I got called some names by the usual suspects. …
We know that Arsenal have a company that looks for footballing talent all over the world, and we also know that Arsenal on occasion will bring in players as young as six. So what do they see when the look at a youngster? I haven’t got a film of a six year old by I …
By Jacko Jones We’ve introduced the topic of DraftKings before, and it is interesting to see how things are working out. Arsenal Stats Week Two Arsenal’s top three players v Liverpool 1: Theo Walcott (8 fantasy points) 3 shots, 2 shots on goal, 2 tackles won, 2 passes intercepted 2: Nacho Monreal (12 …
Hi Walter and Tony, I hope you’re both doing well. Some things recently came to thought whilst looking at other websites.I was shocked by the extreme anger and the spectre of fascism in peoples posts. And its relentlessness. Firstly the Anti-Arsenal-Arsenal (AAA) are very much present, but on closer inspection there is also the …

By Tony Attwood There is an interesting comment going around on certain bloggettas to the effect that it would be good if Arsenal were relegated this year, so that Mr Wenger would get the sack. These comments are written by people who, it seems, class themselves as Arsenal supporters. In the reality inhabited by these …

By Tony Attwood “Arsenal fans watching the limp 0-0 draw with Leicester City on Saturday, another game with yet another wrong result, were no doubt crying out for the passion and leadership of Patrick Vieira and his team of Invincibles as they demanded that Arsene Wenger opens his chequebook. “The Frenchman has offered his own …

By Tony Attwood There’s a lot of talk around about Arsenal have the highest ticket prices on the planet and yet won’t buy the players “need” to help Arsenal win the league. As with so much in football, such a statistic is misleading – both in terms of ticket prices and in terms of overall …
By Tony Attwood Of course in the end the main thing that counts is the result. But sometimes results alone don’t give a full indication of where things are going. They tell us the score, 0-0 yesterday, and no one can disagree with that, and one can look at the game and say “that was …
By Walter Broeckx First of all a big sorry for the fact I couldn’t get my article on line. Murphy’s law was at work. As I opened my laptop just when the match started (had to do my theoretical and physical exam as a ref this afternoon and got home just in time – Oh …
By Bulldog Drummond So the complaints against Arsenal and Arsene Wenger rattle on and are utterly lapped up by the media which publish them all without any investigation into the truthfulness or otherwise of the allegations. And of course pointing out that factual errors and disinformation (which has now soared to unprecedented heights) combined without …
