I switched on my television and there it was, Bodo Glimt 3-1 Man City and to be honest, Bodo looked well worth their win whereas City by comparison looked worn out. The fall off in recent games from the Eastlands Mob is quite astonishing. But it really is as easy as that to […]

I don’t normally watch other teams’ games live and certainly not our nearest rivals’ matches but yesterday at midday I put it on the TV in the hope that I would possibly see the Eastlands Mob drop a couple of points yet again. But never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that […]
The Football League Cup has been the ugly duckling for as long as I can remember, even more so since the growth in the Premier League and the expanded Champions League, which dwarf it more now than at any time in the past and to such a degree that most newer fans, particularly from […]
Morning all. Gabriel Martinelli had spent the last few days being treated as if he was some kind of dastardly criminal by the usual suspects, you know the low-grade TV pundits whose ‘unblemished records’ gave them the freedom and latitude to attack Gabby for his singular error of judgement in the Liverpool game and […]
It seems like only yesterday that the dreaded Etihad Cartel were sitting there, poised and only two points behind the Gunners with all and sundry in the media suggesting that the Arsenal were about to ‘bottle’ it again as they stared nervously down the barrel and into their review mirror at the oil ogre chasing […]
Morning all. The period over Christmas and the New Year saw opinions and results fluctuate but maybe not as wildly as many in the media expected or wanted. All the same, the end result of all the jaw jaw was some very encouraging results for us and disappointment for everyone else – and […]
Morning all. Fresh in our minds no doubt was how sick we all felt when Aston Villa scored their winner in added time at Villa Park just a few weeks ago. That feeling has bubbled away just under the surface since as Arsenal has struggled to score the goals we probably deserved, goals which would […]
Morning all. The welcome midweek victory for Arsenal in Belgium helped us a lot to forget that last minute heartbreaking defeat in Birmingham. But in truth the real business was yesterday at the Emirates where the Gunners got back on the saddle again with the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers. I’d heard and seen some […]
Morning all. The painful conclusion to that chaotic game in Birmingham last weekend opened up all those old nagging concerns we have as Arsenal supporters, brought about by three years of heartbreaking near misses. On top of that, of course, fanning the flames was the usual suspects on line laughing at our expense, but […]
Morning all. The last few days had drawn most of the attention away from yesterday’s clash at the noisy neighbours in Fulham Broadway. The demolition of Tottenham last weekend and the welcome blitz of Bayern in midweek had left us all on cloud nine. But, we knew it was only two thirds of the […]
Morning all. Liverpool’s draw at Villa Park in the week gave us a little piece of hope, then West Ham turned up at The Emirates and killed that hope dead through Bowen. Why do Arsenal do it to themselves? Last season it was against West Ham and Aston Villa at home that […]
Morning all. I felt a tad disappointed when the squad was announced yesterday morning as I’d hoped to see more academy players on the bench than just Nathan Butler-Oyedeji but Mikel Arteta opted for players with experience over what position they played. I think we all expected the front three to be as […]
