Before anyone takes me to task over the title, it’s tongue-in-cheek, ok? Cesc is our captain, and remains a hugely important player to our side. Nasri has sparkled this season and may well take Cesc’s mantle in the long-term, but that will not happen until Cesc himself departs. Considering our Captain’s intermittent availability this season, […]

One thing caught my eye at the end of last night’s game and forgive me if I have got this wrong but straight after the match I watched ATV online and saw lone man out in the cold, he was walking around the pitch, clapping the fans, giving thumbs up to the fans – he knew […]
I love Arsenal Football Club. I absolutely love it. I have been with it for seventeen years, longer than my lovely wife and I have been together. I caught the bug while living and working in Peterborough, and have continued to faithfully and steadfastly follow it, while moving around different parts of the world. It […]
After that horrible home loss to Newcastle United, I dreaded the next two fixtures. Off such a limp, listless, uninspired and ineffective performance, we surely wouldn’t get much out of two difficult fixtures at Wolves and Everton. Lo and behold, we proceeded to pick six points up from these fixtures, moving a point ahead of […]
I would start this out by saying “What a difference a few days make”, but on second thought…Let’s not get carried away. We still have lots of work to do, and the result certainly camouflages many of the deficiencies that were so glaring during the just-ended two-match skid. But winning conceals a great many problems, […]
At least the first week of November is behind us. However, we still have three more weeks remaining in a month that this side has traditionally gone off the rails. Is it a coincidence? I do not think so. We still have too many issues that have not been rectified – issues that are undoing […]
The whistle goes to start the game, the home fans in high spirits and as it turned out, they had every right to be! Within a minute of the game starting, Wilshere fouls Eduardo 25 yards out but the free kick causes Fabianski little problem as he saves comfortably. Next up, Eboue wins a corner, […]
We have seen days like this before, and will surely see them again: we huff and we puff, and struggle to breach the opponents’ defence. Arsene said afterwards he was relieved, as it looked like we would have to settle for a point, at best – and I can certainly agree with him. Despite a […]
The most important thing about last night was we got a win at St James Park and we are in the next round of the Carling Cup but last night, watching Emmanuel Eboue perform his theatrics was embarrassing to say the least. I know it’s getting near Panto Time of the year but he really […]
