What is there to be said about the great man? Born in Lewisham back in 1967, Rocky suffered the loss of his father when he was just 5 years old. He left school in 1983 and the summer of the same year he joined Arsenal Football Club as an apprentice spending two years in the […]

Arsenal FC could possibly end up winning nothing again this year and unless Wenger changes his transfer policy, they probably won’t win anything next season either. I have determined that because they lack one key element. Arrogance. Arrogance is the difference between winning and losing and winning teams have it in abundance. Manchester United have […]
Here we go again then and it’s not even the 1st July.. Reports coming out of Spain suggest that Barcelona president Sandro Rossell has said they will be able to afford to offer us £45Million for Cesc Fabregas in the summer. That’s the total of their transfer budget but that could be more if they […]
Naughty Jack, who has been given a telling off by his boss for partying and drinking too much is to stay with the England squad for the mid-week fixture against Ghana! Double standards I say and it pees me off big time, why is it that the likes of Rooney, Terry, Dawson, Cole and Lampard […]
I have been looking through recordings of some of our games this season, hoping to find reasons why were not scoring more goals than we are. We create plenty of chances but when it comes to actual scored goals, we don’t score half as many as we should. I know that the statisticians’ out there, […]
Some of you may think this in bad taste but hey ho – on a day when England play Wales, Jack Wilshere lines up against his team-mate Aaron Ramsey, the farce of football and the FA is again clear. John Terry has been reinstalled as England captain, yes, a man who Fabio Capello said would […]
Timely for the purposes of fitness, form, and momentum… I think we can all see that you – collectively – were struggling. Chances created, chances spurned…Slow starts…Defensive mistakes…A lack of collective confidence and dropping of heads as goals are conceded, calls have gone against you, and key first-teamers have sustained injuries seemingly at the rate […]
So if you believe the Daily Mail this morning, Aaron Ramsey has had this to say: ‘Jack took my job and I want my shirt back’. Finally, we have a battle in our midfield for the right to start, a battle between two British footballers who both want to play for Arsenal. It’s not arrogance, […]
No no, not Denilson, I’ve got more chance of getting called up for Brazil than he has but our young 18-year-old Wellington Silva has been called up to represent his country at the relevant age group. Now this kid has been in the papers recently, apparently he’s been given a rollicking by his current manager […]
Another season is all but over, and it’s looking like another pot less one. Arsenal Football Club will have gone six years without winning one of the four competitions on offer. I am not one to dwell on the disappointments of the past and would much rather think about the future and I hope and […]
Arsene Wenger has been called every name under the sun since we were beaten in the Carling Cup Final and for the performances that followed, as have some of our players. Reading around the blog world, many fans want Wengers head on the block, some want the board sacked, some even want both and I’m […]
Going into yesterdays fixture, our task was simple – three points behind Manchester United with a game in hand. If we could sweep our final ten matches and pick 30 points up, nobody would be able to catch us at the top, no matter what other sides did. You cannot get much more straightforward than […]
