It has been an emotional season, of that there is no doubt. I lost count of the number of matches I was pretty sure I would need cardiac assistance from my local Accident and Emergency to get through and despite being written off by just about everybody outside the club, and plenty of fans too, [...]

Following Tomas Rosicky’s first two league goals of the season, Arsenal withstood immense late pressure to hang on to a 2-1 victory at The Hawthorns and three invaluable points. The result moves The Gunners temporarily back into the top four, and keeps the pressure on Chelsea and Spurs. With our two main rivals for the [...]

As transfer rumours gather pace despite the summer window being nowhere near open, Arsenal fans are wondering in what position will the manager see fit to strengthen from outside the club. If Fabianski doesn’t renew, and it looks like he won’t [or that Arsenal aren't offering him a new deal], Arsenal will need a new [...]

I like to think that when I write something for this website, it’s generally couched in a realistic approach to where the Arsenal football club sit in the modern game. Yes, I know there have been some extreme examples of my knee sending cold cups of coffee flying, but I would say that these are [...]

In terms of giving the fans some pride, as I’d stressed the importance of in my article a few days ago, it was mission accomplished for Arsenal in Munich last night. But it was so close to being what would arguably have been Wenger’s finest hour, certainly on the European stage. Yes he’s brought us [...]

I thought of titling this blog, “North London is not yours, you just won a football match.” However, when faced with a seven point deficit, with just thirty points to play for, it seemed to me the very definition of a futile gesture. Whilst it is undeniable that Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to match Arsenal’s tally of [...]

  Match Report                Highlights Yesterday  morning  a consortium in the Middle East talked publicly of bidding £1.5bn for the club, but added the veiled threat that this figure would be less if the team failed to qualify for the Champion’s League.

  Today Arsenal’s season pretty much ended for the fans, with an unedifying performance at home against a team from the middle of the League below. The manager’s proud records of not having been knocked out of cups by lower league opposition, and not losing an FA cup tie at home in 38 games were [...]

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 [...]

At last, the long-running transfer saga has come to an end – Theo Walcott has officially put pen to paper on a new contract with the club. A very happy ending for everyone involved with Arsenal. Of course, with football fans being as they are, the immediate thought is one of crisis – is he [...]

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 [...]

The defeat to Manchester City had many talking points, and there will probably have already been a great deal said about the performance of Arsenal on the day, but for me the thing that sticks in my mind happened before the match actually started. Per Mertesacker, our best defender – not injured, not really in [...]

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 [...]

2012′s been a funny old year, hasn’t it? Arsène Wenger appeared close to the edge in February and then Spurs rocked up to the Emirates, their fans full of exhortations for us to “Mind the Gap”. 90 minutes and 7 goals later, they crawled back to their holes, tails between their legs having been dealt [...]

January Arsenal started 2012 in fourth place with 36 points from 19 games, three points behind Tottenham who had played a game less, nine behind the league leaders and the month was not to bring much joy for Arsenal fans.  A 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham, a 3-2 defeat by Swansea and a [...]

Yayyyyy! We won! It’s all brilliant again! Yeah, okay, so it was only Reading. Reading are, unfortunately for them, not only one of the worst teams, or- by definition- the worst team in the division, but also play in a way that makes it easy for a team like Arsenal to cut them to shreds. [...]
