This is painful. There used to be a time when Arsenal v Manchester United was the marquee matchup. Every season. All the time. When these two teams met in the past it was sure to be a legendary encounter with always some interesting set to happen. Sinc…
I have some questions, and I’m scared that the answer is: GAME OVER.
The idea for this piece came from reading over an old one, the defeat against Swansea, and the fact that other clubs are bolstering their squads, unlike us. There are several questions going through my mind, the general thought being: what if we didn
So where is the money Arsenal?
Morning Gooners, Over the last few years, I have been waiting for Arsene Wengers dream of the perfect football team to emerge. As you all know I am a huge admirer of the great man, however, even I have been bowled over at what I have seen and read over…
The curse of the Number 9! Don’t expect any signings this month unless we get battered again……
I’ll get the stories and player gossip out the way first… The Sun report, unless we get battered by the Mancs, Wenger won’t be spending any money this month! What a joke if it’s true, nothing like being pro-active eh!! He might …
We are all just Mugs……
Yes that’s right Mugs!! Are you a season ticket holder? Perhaps you buy your tickets as and when you can? Either way and just like me, we are all mugs! We support a team that takes the piss out of us, from Stan down to Wenger there is always an e…
We’ve had a nice big dose of Arsene Wenger’s rescue remedy. But where do we go from here?
Joint posting by DAG and Myles J Burrell. There isn’t a lot anyone can say about yesterday apart from “utter disappointment.” Despite our previous run that saw us move from 17th to 4th our squad isn’t as strong as it should be for a club that c…
Match Preview: Arsenal v Swansea; Premier League Match Day 21
The euphoria of the FA Cup win is over. It’s been some time since our last league match but at least to me the reality of the loss is still there. And it doesn’t get any easier this week with our away trip to Swansea.
New Number 10 signing? Left Back on trial & There is one thing we need as well as players!
That is: Composure!! The comment made by the ESPN team after Andrey Arshavin blasted his umpteenth shot on goal against Leeds over the bar was something like: He needs a bit of Henry’s composure in front of goal. How true is that statement? One which…
What a great January signing he would be! Keeper wants out!
The rush towards the end of this transfer window looms, its climatic conclusion and the media hyperbole will be here sooner than we think – you can almost sense the pandemonium going on at the many clubs who are yet to delve into the murky worl…
Are Tottenham Hotspur really the Noisy Neighbours, or have we just gone dreadfully quiet?
The once great Arsenal FC are beginning to look like a back street outfit. Sure we can look at the profits that the club make and yes, we can look at the magnificent stadium which is all very impressive but when it comes down to the footballing side of…
Form is Temporary. Class is Permanent. Thierry Henry Returns In Style
It was in a word – surreal. As if Thierry Henry and Arsene Wenger conspired to contrive the whole thing. They would set to have the team pass around Leeds all day with little chances here and there that would frustrate the faithful who would then clamo…
175 and still counting! The end of Almunia?
Remembering, of course, that we were drawn against these exact opponents in the same stage of the FA Cup, during the same time-frame a year ago – plenty has changed for both sides since we huffed and puffed to a 1-1 home draw, before winning the …
Class is PERMANENT – The King is back!
What a comeback! This one is going to be short and sweet we have witnessed something magical tonight no questions asked. I know we weren’t spectacular tonight and we lacked that killer pass in the end but who out of all players could really lift …
Match Preview FA Cup 3rd Round: Arsenal v Leeds United
Following with the theme of “What is Old is New,” and so shortly after Arsenal have agreed to a loan deal that brings legendary Gunner Thierry Henry back to the red and white, Arsene Wenger’s boys face off against Leeds United in the 3rd round of the F…
The King is back, and we sure as hell need him
When Arsenal posted a very emotional message on their website to fans after the departure of our then captain and talisman people wondered how we would replace him and if we would even get into the top four in the … Continue reading →
Long Live King Henry II – Thierry Henry Returns to Arsenal: Confirmed
In a move that we all knew about and seems much less surprising given some of Wenger’s previous stop-gap moves, Thierry Henry has come back to Arsenal to fill in for the missing Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh who will depart for ACoN duty. Henry will we…
One step forward, two steps back, the dichotomy of a weekend with Arsenal
Well, I certainly didn’t see this coming. Not utter capitulation on this scale. But when you look at the seocnd half of yesterday’s match that is what happened. We absolutely folded under a lesser team.
Let’s start 2012 how we mean to carry on! This could yet be our title to lose…..
That all might sound a bit optimistic but finally other clubs at the top are starting to drop points, just like they did last season. It was around this time last year that we were sitting in a healthy position near the top of the league, and funny eno…
Match Preview: Arsenal v Fulham: EPL Match Day 20
Arsenal kick-off the new year as the last game of the day. A win at Craven Cottage would see them move throught he tricky fixtures undefeated and taking 7 from 9. A win also would (for a short time at least) move the Gunners level with Spurs on points….
Another Win, yet another Loss!!
Happy New Year to you all, may 2012 be a safe and healthy one and thank you again to everyone who takes time out of their day to make Highbury House what it is today….. On to Oliver’s match review: Such is Arsenal’s lot these days. We win…
Match Preview: Arsenal v QPR; EPL Match Day 19
It goes without saying – anything less than 3 points will draw some serious question marks over our ability to sustain a challenge for the top 4. Good thing for Arsenal is that they face off against QPR, a team that can’t seem to keep opponents from s…
The Return of the King? Why Arsenal’s move for Henry concerns me.
What I am about to write is going to seem like sacrilege to alot of Gooners. But as I have thought about this since the rumors started popping up, I am convinced that Thierry Henry is not the answer to our lack of strikers and impending ACoN departures.
Arsenal v Wolves or The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Let’s be honest shall we? Arsenal have improved. We have more grit and desire and that soft underbelly we are always accused of having seems to have jettisoned off to Manchester City or Barcelona depending on your perspective. But while we look better …
The Post-Christmas Hangover….
This year we got to enjoy Boxing Day without an Arsenal fixture, thanks to the 24-hour strike by union workers shut the London Underground down, and had a knock-on effect on London surface and national rail traffic. So prior to Christmas, our club anno…
