How to be a top rated journalist for a big time paper. 1. Look down the list of players of any team you dislike quite a bit. So, assuming your love Arsenal (otherwise why are you reading this, please close your computer and go and lie down somewhere). For this example, let’s take Manchester Bankrupt’s…
Or put another way, will he too suffer the Curse of Arsenal? Just to refresh your memory in case you have gone beyond the age of 18 and thus have started to lose the brain cells, almost every player who has left Arsenal has done badly – often very badly. The last one who…
If you saw them walk off at Ancient Trafford, Lord Wenger and “Sir” Alex FWord were all close buddies and lovely mates. And why not? The two clubs were the only ones to play attacking positive football, and both have a lot in common when it comes to dealing with the likes of Chelsea, and…
There’s a piece we published earlier today (I don’t think it made it onto Gooner News for some reason, so if you missed it, you might like to go to the Archive list below left and pick up on it. Anyway, part of the story relates to the fact that there are plots, sub-plots and…
Here it is. Oswaldo Ceaser Ardilles is going to be director of football at Southampton. Or is it Sheffield Wednesday. Sorry I have forgotten – I was laughing so much.

I’m using the word “new” in the journalistic sense – that is it could mean anything you want. So I include people who have been Arsenal for a while, but out on loan, or waiting to be the right age to sign professional. The list falls into two parts. First the relatively unknowns…
There’s an Arsenal web site that is currently running a yes/no question along the lines – should Arsenal sign another striker? The majority have said yes. Which is fine – except we are getting a bit overloaded. We have Adebayor – scored the same number of goals in Season 3 as Theirry Henry, which…
All the contracts of Arsenal players must be reviewed after it became clear that many of them (including the 8 year contract that Fabregas signed) are completely unenforceable under a new EU wide legal ruling made on 30 January 2008. The new ruling puts the name Andy Webster alongside that of Jean-Marc Bosman. From now on you can say…
Let’s try the arguments and see where they go. Against Wenger: We ain’t won nothing since the FA Cup. Quite true, although since then we’ve got to our first ever Euro Final, built a completely new team and were looking for a while last year like we could win it. Only a bad run of…
