The Late Late Show Sinks United

Want to see the view from the top tier when Manchester United come to town. Here it is. I have to report though that the climb up the stairs should be avoided if you are carrying a few extra pounds of Guinness with you! Surprisingly though the memory has survived the pre-match refreshments with Paul […]

GoonerhoLinks

Time is a little tight this morning. Mrs. Goonerholic has decreed since I will be at Arsenal, or the pubs in the environ of the Grove, for most of tomorrow, I have a large number of tasks to perform today. This pennance lark isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. So I’m being decidedly lazy […]

Matty, Robin, Ralph, And Them!

Some interesting news stories broke yesterday so the last instalment of our previous clashes with United can go on the back burner until we draw them in the FA Cup! Talking of the United game Le Boss strongly hinted that Matty Flamini would get the nod to replace the suspended Gilberto on Sunday. That makes […]

1998 – Overmars Does The Business

The build-up to Sunday’s eagerly awaited clash continues with a look back to another double-winning season for the Gunners. The trip to Old Trafford in 1998 was a pivotal moment as Arsenal reeled in the reigning champions on their way to a first Premier League title. From the beginning the Gunners most prominent forward was […]

We Won The League, In Manchester!

Time for the second look this week at a previous meeting of next Sunday’s heavyweight opponents. I’m going back to May 2002 and the game that clinched Arsenal’s third double. Could it have come anywhere better than the home of their greatest rivals of this era? Arsenal were weakened by the absence of Thierry Henry, […]

The Five Minute Final

This may, or may not, be a quiet news week. It doesn’t stop the excitement from building though as we eagerly await the first visit of Manchester United to Ashburton Grove this coming Sunday. An apt time I thought to look back at previous meetings between the clubs, starting with one of the most astonishing […]

The Highbury Farewell

To round off the almost perfect weekend (Gilberto’s harsh sending-off apart) I sat down last night and put the dvd of the Highbury farewell on the box. The memories came flooding back. On that remarkable day in May I was determined to take in as much of the day as possible. Getting to the ground […]

'We've Only Got Ten Men!'

For the second Saturday running the impressive Gunners have laid to rest the bogey that has affected them in 5.15 kick=offs in the north-west. Arsenal overcame the early dismissal of Gilberto, and the incompetence of Rob Styles, to secure an impressive 2-0 victory over in-form Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. The visitors found themselves a […]

Goonerholic's Theory Of Evolution

I’m celebrating today, not just because I’ve racked up another year on this mortal coil, but I’m still drunk on the double cup triumphs at Anfield (and a liberal intake of IPA!). It has got me thinking about the moans and groans when we come unstuck in those games we expect to win comfortably. More […]

Boring Boring Arsenal!

I try to keep my daily entries about the same length, so sadly no report on the Carling Cup quarter-final at Anfield. Space restricts me to a brief resume of the goals tonight and a proud observation. Well played lads! (Lads being the operative word as six teenagers were in the starting line-up.) 26 minutes. […]
