Happy New Year Everybody

Well the new day has not improved my view of yesterdays events, but I am once again glad to be a Gooner. Compared to most we suffer relatively few of these bad days, and if we didn’t have them we would not appreciate the golden days as much as we do. That’s the beauty of […]

A Rant From The Heart

Normally I would allow myself to cool down after the game before commenting on the performance. I have just arrived back from a pub full of celebrating fans of other clubs having seen Arsenal humiliated by a side that surely cannot cling on to its Premiership status this season. As you can imagine I am […]

Rotation, Rotation, Rotation!

A new spate of injuries, and a virus attack on both squads, means there will be much rotation for the trip to Sheffield United tomorrow. Long term absentees Henry, Gallas, Ljungberg and Eboue are still missing. They have been joined on the treatment table by Adebayor, Djourou, Hleb, and Walcott. Arsene Wenger is being philosophical […]

Gilberto For Captain!

Well, I hope you have all had an enjoyable holiday. The Goonerholic Boxing Day open house was made all the merrier by the result, if not the performance, at Vicarage Road. My eighty-four year old father was once again in fine form, espousing the obvious. ‘Why don’t they tell Henry he is now club captain, […]

Yo Ho Bloomin' Ho

Just got time for a brief ‘Happy Christmas’ and a review of what turned out to be an excellent day. The draw for the Carling Cup Semi-Finals couldn’t have been better (what do you mean, you wanted Wycombe, shame on you). If the minor hurdle of Liverpool away can be safely navigated we have another […]

Merry Christmas, And Thank You

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers, and their families, a merry Christmas. This is a time for kids and families, and it will be no different for Goonerholic. I hope to be able to bring some news after the Blackburn game tomorrow, but the centre of my media empire […]

Spanish Archer For Baptista?

Thanks goodness it’s a quiet day on the Arsenal front. We are only due to sign three goalkeepers and a left-back in January. Oh, and I nearly forgot, we are going to sell Jose Antonio Reyes and send Julio Baptista back to Real Madrid. Baptista is a strange one. So eagerly hunted by Wenger eighteen […]

I Haven't Got The Foggiest

All my thoughts are with the Arsenal fans who were either already in Liverpool, or who were sitting in traffic jams worrying about getting to the ground in time. The late postponement (6.45pm) of the Carling Cup quarter-final at Anfield has generated much anguish. I remember travelling to Bolton once for a League Cup semi-final […]

Defending The Indefensible

I have an awful admission to make. I don’t know who is responsible for PR at Arsenal these days. I should know, but I don’t. Whoever it is regularly has my sympathy as he battles to try and cast a positive light on negative press, often self-inflicted. Take today. The media, written and broadcast, have […]

Wenger And Arsenal Are All At Sea

Just what is it about this Arsenal side that renders them incapable of dealing with bread-and-butter opposition (sorry Pompey fans, but it’s true!) yet pit them against the Manchester Uniteds, Chelseas and Liverpools of this world and they show themselves to be extremely capable. Once again Wenger played the rotation game. He seems to have […]
