Yesterday rumours gathered great pace about our possible departures. Websites in Spain suggest that today Barcelona will today announce that they have finally captured a deal to bring their ‘boy’ home. They didn’t believe in him when he was still in short trousers but now Arsenal Football Club have turned him into a good footballer […]
Well surprise surprise… Just as the manager and the board have started agreeing with what supporters have been asking for, which of course is better players and to strengthen a wilting team, we hear that the club are now suggesting that one of our best players and captain to boot, is being allowed to leave […]
One: How to stop the trading of kids. I think football needs to police itself here and ban any trading of players under the age of 16. At that age, clubs can decide if they want to release the player or, offer them a reserve contract. My plan if that every professional club in the […]
I got home yesterday to find the new Kit Catalogue, ‘Explosive Arsenal’ on the doorstep – I had a browse through, not with any intention of purchasing anything I hasten to add but as I turned the pages something struck…. Page one – Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsay and Wojciech Szczesny all lined up […]
If your reading this you are probably an Arsenal Fan, maybe a season ticket holder or even an overseas fan who supports from afar but whatever or whoever you are, you probably watch as much of the Arsenal action as anyone – whether it be live, streamed or through one of the television channels.

A lot has been written about our current Manager but what do we really know about him? Many older supporters will probably know a fair bit but for our younger supporters I thought I would take this quiet spell as a way of showing you why this popular Arsenal manager is so highly acclaimed. Arsene […]
I meet a fair few Dutch people in my job, driving in London. I like Dutch people, they have a good sense of humour, like a beer, have fantastic coffee shops and make reasonably good footballers…. I don’t think that I’d be alone among many Arsenal fans if I said I’d be very happy to […]
The Ajax team of the 70’s, Valeriy Lobanovskyi’s Dynamo Kiev of the early 80’s, Sacchi’s Milan of the late 80’s, Di Stefano’s Madrid, Cryuff’s Barca Dream Team, Manchester United of the late 00’s… What do all these teams have in common? They are all great teams that had sustained periods of success both domestically and […]
Over the 40 odd years that I’ve been an Arsenal fan, I have enjoyed and suffered many ups and downs but one of the most enjoyable ups has been witnessing the development and success of home-grown talent. I’ve always got a ‘kick’ out of seeing one of ‘our own boys’ make the grade, it’s an […]
Transfer news is still rife at the Arsenal, what with Wenger and Gazidis both saying that we will be very busy in the window this summer. Supporters are getting all excited still believing that finally Arsenal are going to take the EPL seriously next season. Both men have mentioned how poor we were in the […]
