By the time you read this dry January may be but a memory. Well done if you partook. If only my birthday could be moved I might give it a bash one day. Anyway, lots to cover in a short space of time, so let’s crack on. Aston Villa at home, with Anthony Taylor in […]

I heard you all. You were saying “I wish Arsene would sign a central defender”. There were doubters amongst you, I know. “He won’t open his piggy bank. Come back in Ten Years Time.” Le Boss heard the debate and understood. “Sometimes it isn’t easy to get the deal done, but if I can find […]

89 seconds. That is how long it took for Arsenal to calm any nerves that yesterday’s upsets might have caused. Calum Chambers spectacular foray down the right flank set up Theo Walcott for a first goal in over a year. A much changed Gunners had side grabbed the initiative from the start. Missing David Ospina, […]

As Saturday afternoons go that was a rather good one. Chelsea, Manchester City, Southampton, and the shadow-dwellers all knocked out at home. Enjoyable as those results were they will mean nothing if we don’t grab our opportunity at Brighton to advance into the last sixteen of the FA Cup. Some degree of rotation from the […]

I have to say I am indebted to our very own North Bank Ned for tonight’s guest post. Ned looks back to Arsenal’s first golden era and our first ever meeting with Brighton and Hove Albion. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. I know ‘holicdad would have approved too. He […]

A jaunty Santi Cazorla with the celebrating faithful behind him A simply superb team performance by Arsenal at the Etihad saw them comfortably defeat the reigning champions. The post-match glow is one we have been awaiting for a long time, but that makes it all the sweeter. This team now will surely have the belief […]

Well that wasn’t quite what we had hoped for from our Saturday, was it. Wins for Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Liverpool. As I type only Southampton above us might drop points. By the time I finish this blog they may have added to our woes. Not just our woes though. Tomorrow’s opponents will also […]

Last week saw a Football League club close to signing a convicted rapist, out on licence so not having completed his time contrary to popular misrepresentation of the facts. A good friend of a friend, Malin, some of you will have met her before and after matches, asked to produce a guest post on the subject. That […]

Yes it was one of the good days. Early doors at the Pins followed by cake and ale in the Tollie. So many friendly faces too. When the team news arrived the selection of David Ospina made Wojciech Szczesny’s current plight clear. From the off we clicked into gear with Tomas Rosicky, Santi Cazorla, and […]

The weekend, a welcome distraction in this of all weeks. Though hardly a lip smacking prospect we have the visit of Stoke City to look forward to. They have had a special dislike of us since we denied them successive FA Cup Final appearances in 1971 and 1972. It has been returned in full since […]
