Another guest post for you, for which I owe our very own generous benefactor Lars a debt of gratitude, and probably I will have to take the pressure off his famous credit card at the Citeh home game! I hope you enjoy his writing as much as I have. His English is far, far better than my Swedish. Thanks Lars. […]

A week without a game, and along comes the inimitable zicoinexile with a more than welcome guest post. With so many, it seems, currently re-examining their options for supporting the institution that is ingrained in us Dr z reflects on his own experiences, and a fascinating read I found it too.  Many may not be […]

The morning after the day before, and the early promise of spring has retreated, but left memories of another of the good days watching Arsenal. It started with the unveiling of the Dennis Bergkamp statue. Arrival on the concourse an hour beforehand meant I was still four people back from the front. If there were […]

So what on paper was a most taxing set of fixtures is over and we are out the other side just a point off the Premier League summit, through to the quarter-final of the FA Cup, and in need of a similar triumph to last season in the Allianz Arena if we are to take […]

Old Big Ears, the European Cup, the Champions League, call it what you will. It is the one trophy us fossils haven’t seen Arsenal lift, the holy grail if you will.

Then Arsenal announce seven changes from the team that drew with Manchester United. The pre-match debate about whether or not to include Lukasz Fabianski, Carl Jenkinson, and Nacho Monreal is put into focus, […]

FA Cup fifth round, and for the second weekend running we find ourselves up against Liverpool, so impressive in the opening half of last week’s 5-1 drubbing at Anfield. Anybody who listened to this week’s Arsecast will have heard there is a degree of rotation possible for this match that might not necessarily weaken a side […]

There is, let’s face it, no way of capturing that match in a way that will please everyone, so it’s a good job that is not the thinking behind this blog. A goal-less draw against Manchester United would not normally be considered a bad result, but for a chunk of the support it undoubtedly was. […]

“I love this group of players, they deserve success, and I think they will respond in a very positive way tomorrow.” Arsene says it how it needs to be as we prepare to face Manchester United in the wake of Saturday’s thumping by Liverpool. Respond we most certainly need to, and that will fall to […]
