Sorry for the late post today. The attraction of a golf course on a wet and windy day is not what it once was, but as I had arranged this some time back I found myself performing a zig-zag stroll across five miles of sand and water infested countryside this morning. The bonus is that […]

At last there is some news, of sorts, to comment on this morning in relation to Arsenal. There is a degree of indignation in the air that both the Gunners and Chelsea have been fined £100,000 for their respective contributions to the world handbag throwing championships at Cardiff. Double standards at the governing body are […]
Listening to the radio phone-ins for the last couple of days a familiar picture is beginning to emerge. “How can we expect to win when we are playing defenders out of position?” “The situation with the midfield is depressing. We have all these highly-rated ‘stars’ who cannot score.” “Without the top striker we are left […]

I’ve just got time for another ‘quickie’ this morning, the reasons for which will shortly become apparent. There’s just one significant Arsenal story emerging from the weekend. Emmanuel Adebayor has been axed from from the Togolese national team following a report that he was considering his international future after he received a death threat prior […]

Sorry I have not been around for a couple of days. That’s not strictly true of course, I have been ‘around’ and working on the next move for Goonerholic. More of that over the coming days. Just time for a quick update this morning. Congratulations to the Irish teams and Scotland, although the report card […]

Arsene Wenger has been talking of the frustration caused by the groin injury which ruled out William Gallas from November until last month. “He was out for three months at a very important period of the season,” said Wenger. “For me he is very big player for us. Firstly because he is a winner and […]
Following on from yesterday’s blog, I am still vexed by the criticism of Arsene Wenger by my peers. I have managed to satisfy myself that I’m right. See what you think of this logic. Rewind to 1986. George Graham has just arrived and the culling of the experienced big names starts in earnest. The kids […]

I enjoyed a conversation over a pint the other day with the man who runs the excellent Arsenal-Land site. He asked me if I thought Arsenal had made progress this season. Now you will have worked out that I look at life through spectacles so rose-tinted that my eyebrows have greenfly! “No question”, I assured […]

What could have been a near perfect weekend turned into the worst case of deja-vu in the last minute at Goodison Park. Following late defeats to Chelsea and Blackburn, we once again hit the last gasp self-destruct button. As usual Arsenal produced a stylish passing game with Fabregas at its hub, though in fairness Everton […]

I am indebted to a friend for the snap of the ground at Wednesday’s FA Youth Cup semi-final (thanks Dave). For those who haven’t seen any coverage of the game it does give you an idea of how much space is left when you fit a Highbury-sized crowd into the Grove. The column inches this […]
