Wenger And Pompey Are All At Sea

What a strange message the Football Association have sent out with todays £10,000 fine for Arsene Wenger following his spat with the now unemployed Alan Pardew at West Ham. He was also warned as to his future conduct. They have given the green light to other attention-seeking, second rate coaches to leap up and down […]

Arsenal Win In North West Shocker

Well the recipe for consuming the pie-munchers proved to be almost indigestible. Full marks to the side for keeping going to the end, but it has to be said that Arsene Wenger’s experimental midfield almost backfired. Those who have screamed almost daily for the introduction of ‘the Beast’ have their answer. I have no doubt […]

Wigan Next On The Menu

It’s off to the excellent pie-makers of Wigan on Wednesday for the game in hand that a few short weeks ago was supposed to propel us into the fight for the Premiership title. Now the ambition is perhaps a third place finish but the result is none the less important for that. Last season we […]

The Unlikely Lads

As the events of the weekend unfolded Arsenal supporters were given proof, if any were needed, that there is real strength in depth in the Gunners squad.

One One To The Arsenal!

I don’t mind admitting I spent 78 minutes praying for Robin Van Persie to strike. The odds on the man who could reasonably have been thought to be our likeliest scorer at the Bridge, allied to an Arsenal victory, were too tempting to resist. Step forward Matthieu ‘the maligned’ Flamini to put the final nail […]

When Peter Tatchell feels compelled to enlist the assistance of the competing clubs, and of course the Metropolitan Police, in an ill-informed purge on the visiting fans, something is not quite […]

Thanks Dad, Can I Go To Chelsea Now?

I’m really indebted to my Dad for all manner of things. Foremost in my mind though is the fact that he saw fit to remain in Islington until after I was born. That, and the fact that he was Arsenal through and through, and would only take me to watch the Gunners as a fledgeling […]

One Good Draw Deserves Another

Gripping stuff, wasn’t it? Porto and the Gunners stretched each other to the limit in a scintillating 0-0 draw tonight, and don’t let me hear you sniggering at the back of the class Henry! The two Champions League protagonists shared four shots on target, although the hosts managed to whack six high or wide compared […]

Beast And Bert Ridicule Portugeezers

There can’t be a worse day to have to produce a blog. Everybody has now covered every angle of the thrashing of the neighbours on Saturday. The Henry and Wenger spat has been done to death. So I thought I’d research Portuguese jokes in order to bring you all a bit of a laugh ahead […]

I guess it’s time to reveal what really happened at the Training Centre on Friday, and Ashburton Grove on Saturday. My regular readers need to know the truth of the incidents that have led to so many column inches over the last couple of days. Let me take you back to an amazing chain of […]
