Next season’s team starts to take shape

Next season’s team will look remarkably different from the team that we have seen through this year. This year you’ll remember we Finished 4th in the EPL contrary to all predictions which had us in free fall  (remember the “should Wenger go if we don’t make the Europa League) Got to the semi-final of the …

Intelligent comment and a very funny joke about Arsenal

What to do if you have five minutes to spare: go to yesterdays article – (Arsenal Sign a New Defensive Enforcer).  If you have a particularly large amount of free time you can skim through that – the bit about the enforcer is at the end – but then, much more importantly I’d invite you …

Arsenal sign new defensive enforcer

Is fourth good enough?   Well it depends on what you mean by fourth. There was a time a couple of years back when Liverpool came fourth and I remember looking at the table with interest at the time and realising that they were so far behind the top that they were closer (in number of …

Let’s turn Arsenal into Charlton

The “Wenger must go” chant is rising and rising.  Fortunately not in the stadium, where most supporters seem to have a longer term perspective, but on the internet it is everywhere. I’ve just been reading the post on Arsenal Action called “Sorry Arsene its time to go”, where the writer gives his reason for this …

Something very odd is going on re Arsenal

I’ve noticed it for some time, and I still can’t quite understand it.  It is a form of logic that appears in the newspapers and on TV, and it goes like this: Arsenal failed to win the Champs League, FA Cup and EPL this year because Wenger only likes to play young players.   Because of …

I only get to see Arsenal Ladies occasionally, and sadly this Cup Final was not one that I could make, but it is important to commemorate this event. The club was formed 21 years ago by Vic Akers who as you know steps down this season. So far they have won 29 trophies including the …

A smile or two just before we get nervous

When the big games come I get nervous – just like most supporters I guess.  Probably the worst occasion was the final game at home to Leicester in the Unbeaten Season.  I had hoped I would be dancing and singing and having a lovely time, taking photos and all. But the silly buggers were one …

Portsmouth 3 Arsenal Children 11

The reserves got a good day out and sauntered home 11 on target shots to 3. which is not bad.   They let a couple of the ol’ timers play (Theo and Arshavin were there and Sagna was given a game too) but mostly it was the kids. What was particularly nice was to see Bischoff …

At last, someone wants to buy Theo

I have been getting seriously worried.  We had that little bit of a laugh over how every club in the multiverse will be bidding for our players, and how they will all be leaving, and the club will fall apart and we will be heading for League Two or wherever it is that Southampton play. …
