By Tony Attwood On 29 April 1995 Arsenal and Tottenham drew 1-1 at Highbury. An Ian Wright penalty gave him 18 for the season and left him top league scorer for the club. I’m sure he was pleased. But in the league Arsenal were 10th, 36 points behind a team that had not won the …

. By Blacksheep Yesterday’s disappointing draw – disappointing mainly because we seemingly threw away a 2 goal lead by allowing a clod hopper like Andy Carroll to score a hat-rick – led to the display of 2 banners at the Boleyn Ground.

By Walter Broeckx Arsenal started with an unchanged side for Arsenal’s last match at Boleyn Ground against West Ham. So still Ospina in goal and Cech on the bench. And Iwobi kept his place in the starting team. Welbeck still up front to lead the attack. And Elneny and Coquelin the midfield partners. Arsenal team …

Arsenal and The Quest for the Holy Grail By Jerry In my opinion, Arsenal have not been awarded a penalty in 2016 (last time Dec 13, 2015) due to a comedy of errors by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) men in the middle. Instead of just listing the multiple missed penalty opportunities and …

By Tony Attwood To put people into boxes, there are broadly three types of football fan. Those who look at all the issues considered in the previous article about possible corruption in the Premier League and think, “this looks odd, there should be an investigation,” those who really don’t care about such matters and just like …

By Tony Attwood I’m sorry you’ve read it all before, but somehow I feel that if I give up now, all the stuff I’ve written before will be a bit wasted. The argument is still the same: that Uefa and Fifa are so utterly hopelessly corrupt that Football Associations around the world should withdraw, …
