It seemed that Arsenal were going to announce the new “director of transfer negotiations” (or some similar title) sometime around now, but now it seems it won’t happen. Paul Donovan left Vodafone (a company forever tainted with its associated with Manchester Bankrupts) and there was talk that he was the man for us, but it…
I read an article on a blog yesterday in which the writer (who claimed to be writing one of the most highly read of all the Arsenal blogs) said that this was the time when Arsene Wenger had to prove himself. It struck me as one of the most crazy things I had ever read,…
There are two ways to rubbish players. One is to dismiss them in one line, just saying “he’s ineffective” and leaving it at that. The implication is that he is so bad everyone knows it, you don’t have to say another word. The other is to argue the point constructively, using the stats, showing comparisons…
We’re not playing well, it was a lucky escape, and we’re further behind Aston “if you fall over hold your head” Villa. So all bad news then. Except… It is nine match unbeaten run which has included games against a number of clubs near the top or at the top Three of the four players…

Transforming yourself is important. You feel down, but you have to go out and play football or sell computers or write wonderful pieces of literature – so you have to reinvent yourself – and then those around you. The master at this art is Mr Leavy at Tottenham Hotspur. The masters at not doing…
If you have been supporting the Arsenal for more than 12 years you’ll remember the dark days. I mean the really dark days. Days so dark that you couldn’t even see the tunnel let alone the light at the end of it. I speak, of course, of the year of the Rioch. That dreadful year…
