by “BGf60″ There’s very little positive that can be done during the international breaks but for gooner addicts it does allow an uninterrupted chance to revisit some of the old tapes/dvds. Amazing how the heartache can return as well as the joy. But amidst all this history/euphoria/sadness a disturbing thought came to mind. Was Ian Wright a…
By Walter Broeckx This is a little story of the football in my home country. You have to wait a bit to see the link with Arsenal but I promise you, it will come. Last year I was appointed as a ref for a game involving the youth team of a first division club in…
Last time Birmingham “Evil Empire” were at the Ems we watched their manager direct players to go down, lie down, roll around… anything and everything to break up play. It is a testimony to the magnitude of the Wengerian revolution that we can now saunter past the “Team coach in the goal” clubs like Blackburn…
It was a tedious morning of “Henry is a disgrace” and “Henry, Eduardo, we investigate the cheats in football.” Then BBC Radio Five Live decided to get Republic of Ireland assistant manager Liam Brady on. Liam sounded as if he had not slept for a week. But he spoke slowly and clearly, and utterly refused…
By Cape Gooner, with some additional material by Tony I was watching the Wolves game on Arsenal TV and was thinking how good a game Diaby was having before he went off. Is he doing a Denilson? Taking his chance and playing really well, only for the “fans” to pick on every misplaced pass. His…
By Walter Broeckx What is it that drags you to London people ask me sometimes. Well I must confess that you can call me an Anglophile in a way or should it be a “Londonphile” or “Arsenalphile”. From the first moment I set foot in London, I felt at home. It’s just a feeling I…
By Walter Broeckx Want a player ranking after a game? Don’t worry there are 84 trillion sites that do it, and that is just for Arsenal. But how many sites do reviews of referee performances match by match, and then use the “Hey-let’s-injure-your-players” break to summarise? There is of course only one place in the…

So here we are – for the second time in a couple of days an Arsenal player has been injured playing in a pathetic pointless international. VP is out, and now Gibbs. Will it ever end? So it seems an appropriate time to consider one of the two organisations that seek to destroy our enjoyment:…
A pointless, pathetic, idiotic, unnecessary, stupid, lunatic, evil match. Holland 0 Italy 0, it meant nothing, told no one anything, and Robin Van Persie is now out for about 3 months – possibly longer. Tearing ligaments is a bastard of an injury – and I can tell you that from experience. My extremely minor and…
