It seems you can’t have a sensible conversation about Cesc Fabregas these days. The former Arsenal captain certainly divides our fanbase, for some he is a hero, a true Arsenal great, and to others he is the disloyal traitor who forced his way out of Arsenal to sit on the Barcelona bench. Last week, as [...]

Ask any Arsenal fan what they want their team to do more than anything else, and the answer you’ll get will always be the same. Win. Simple as that. But if you ask the same fan how the best way to get the team winning more regularly would work, then prepare yourself for a myriad [...]

In January I wrote a piece entitled ‘You Are Cordially Invited To Arsenal’s Mid-Season Car Crash’.  In this piece I jokingly mocked Arsenal fans’ appetite for the annual dramatic and, often gut wrenchingly so, depressing Arsenal capitulation in the competitions we compete in.  When I wrote that, I half hoped to jinx us towards at [...]

I’d like to start this blog with a question – When was the last time you were truly excited about an Arsenal match? If you’re anything like me, you look forward to every game with a degree of excitement. I spend large portions of the working week awaiting Arsenal games, thinking about formations, tactics, team [...]

So that’s that, then. Unless we see the greatest comeback in European Cup history, any hope of seeing Thomas Vermaelen climb up some steps and lift a silver pot has now been extinguished for this season. And while the idea that Arsenal should be winning at least one competition a year is ridiculous, the fact [...]

Following the defeat to Blackburn this weekend, and considering Bayern Munich’s form, it seems like our upcoming Champions League showdown against the German heavyweights is a foregone conclusion. To put it simply, no-one is giving Arsenal a chance, including many of our own fans. Ironically enough, the last time I remember feeling like this was [...]

As the full-time whistle blew on Saturday afternoon, and Wojciech Szczesny started chest bumping his fellow players, a rare sense of pride washed over me. There was a fair amount of relief too, but I was proud of the passion and will to win shown by an Arsenal team whose commitment and desire has often [...]

An international break for friendly matches in the middle of the season is as pointless as it is tiresome. It breaks up any momentum a team is in, and forces players to traverse the world, often gaining jetlag or injuries, for matches which serve no purpose other than for to bolster FIFA’s bank account. It [...]

I’m going to try and do the impossible today, and that is to try and defend Arsene Wenger and his lack of spending so far this January. Firstly, I truly hope we do acquire some new signings, and that proven quality arrives in this transfer window. However I do, in some twisted and almost contradictory [...]

As I’m sure you’re aware of by now, almost a thousand tickets allocated for Manchester City fans for the game at Arsenal on Sunday have been returned to the club due to lack of demand. This has been put down to City fans un-impressed with being expected to stump up £62 in order to watch [...]

The start of a new year brings more than just hangovers and resolutions, it also brings our bi-annual dose of enhanced transfer speculation. It’s amazing how a club so notoriously frugal and reluctant to sign players still has fans convinced it will break the bank every transfer window. It’s hard not to become engrossed in [...]

Here I come again, the glory hunting blogger fresh off the back of a resounding Arsenal victory.  Whilst winning 5-2 away from home is all well and good, there’s a few negative things I want to discuss before I get into how well we played. 1. I’m not a moody b*stard who likes to do [...]

I have written at length recently about Arsenal’s off-field issues, so I’m relieved this week to turn my attention back to on-field matters. I’ve been trying to analyse the difference between successful Arsenal teams and this current Arsenal side, and the two themes I keep returning to are ‘star quality’ and ‘bottle’. Unfortunately our present [...]

Taunts of “You only blog when you’re winning” would appear true on the surface of it, and for that I apologise wholeheartedly for being a glory hunting writer.  A writer that seems eternally grateful for the opportunity to bask in the glorious sunshine of victory, yet incapable of writing on a rainy, wintery day in Stoke.  That [...]

Well, here we are. The precipice. The edge of the cliff. The end of the line. The point of no return. Or any other tried and tested cliché that describes how close we are to losing our minds at how the team is playing. For a while now, we’ve been waiting for a sign as [...]
