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, [...]

“ …Arsenal will end the campaign looking up at our neighbours. There, I’ve said it. I don’t like it, I know there’s still ten games left and we could rescue this situation, but I won’t be holding my breath. Not with this Arsenal team.” In the aftermath of a 2-1 defeat to Spurs in March that [...]

Well, who saw that coming, then? Massive, massive news this morning. Although it has yet to be officially confirmed by Arsenal, the Mirror’s story that Arsenal have agreed a £170m, 5 year kit deal with Puma is being talked about so openly, it’s difficult to think of it as anything other than a done deal. It is [...]

Highlights – HERE Another tight, tense and hard fought win, keeps Arsenal on track for Champion’s League qualification. Aiming for 16 seasons in a row in Europe’s premier competition, Arsenal moved up to third tonight with a little help from a referee’s assistant with selective eyesight. All the post match discussion will be about Arsenal’s [...]

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 [...]

Okay, there’s been a hell of a lot of personnel change since last season, but to get the players pumped for Wednesday night I’d show them the 3-0 win over AC Milan from last season. 3-0 against AC Milan is a pretty impressive scoreline; sadly, on this occasion you could argue it was ultimately meaningless [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So I was partly right, wasn’t I? When I hit the “Publish” button on Wednesday afternoon’s blog, there were just minutes to go until a 3pm announcement from Arsenal. It seemed logical, at that time, to assume that it might just have something to do with a new contract for Jack Wilshere. And, as we [...]

Let’s be clear, losing is never really something we should be gloating about, even when you have assembled a band of ragamuffins, many of whom have only been bit part players for the past season or two.  When we saw the squad which was heading to Olympiacos we knew that to get a result we [...]

    It seems trivial to be pre-occupied with an unglamorous Champion’s League match in the middle of the seemingly interminable group stages, when tonight we wait to see who has become the most powerful democratically elected person on the planet. Wags might suggest the fortunes of Wenger and Obama have been on a similar [...]

It’s two defeats. In a row. By rights, to the more optimistic amongst us, it shouldn’t feel as bad as it does, but it’s more than that. Losing to Norwich and Schalke in the way that we did is indicative of a deeper problem, one our decent start to the season was supposed to have [...]

Often, when watching Arsenal over recent seasons, we have found ourselves coming away from matches knowing that we should have won yet being undone by a moment or three of stupidity and numerous instances of wasteful finishing.  Last night against Montpellier, we didn’t quite do to them what has been done to us on so [...]

And breeeeeeeeeeeathe… I take it that, by now, we have all got over the events of Sunday afternoon? I don’t know if you are aware, but I never watch matches on a stream, so I didn’t watch this one. Even though the immediate future of Arsenal Football Club rested on it. As it happens, despite [...]

Well. I’m not going to say I’m not glad to se the back of what has been a traumatic and extremely stressful season.  We managed to grab third place, one point ahead of Sp*rs though, if we’re honest about it, we did everything we could to try and mess it up. A team full of [...]
