The number of shots on target tells it all as Arsenal Ladies once again had a stroll in the sunshine and won the FA Cup. That makes three FA Cup and League doubles in a row. In any other sort of competition the organisers would give the trophies to the club for eternal display marking…
I think to be fair what one ought to say is, why do journalists say such stupid things? The answer to this story is simple – they don’t know as much about Arsenal and you and I. They have deadlines to meet, so they just write whatever turns up – mostly stuff from the press…
There is a hilarious piece on the Daily Mail’s web site saying that the Euro Final should be held in England. What the writer forgot to do was to read up any of the recent stuff about where Euro Finals are held. None can be held in the UK, because UEFA and FIFA demand that…
The Arsenal (the membership club for Arsenal supporters) has 185,000 paid up members – making it the largest supporters group in the world. In 2007 the club overtook Barcelona to take on top spot. Also in 2007 Arsenal became the second largest club in the world in terms of annual turnover, and the club with…
Trying to take a view on fans over a lifetime of watching Arsenal is difficult – but for me, personally, football is going wrong when the fans become more important than the club and the team. Of course I like it when the Emirates is noisy, and I like the funny songs, and the jokes…
In February 2007 Gerald Krasner was appointed as the administrator of this little team that had somehow run up massive debts. That made Krasner responsible for running the club. It is a job to which he is well suited and highly experienced, for this is the man who did the same job at Leeds “united”…
We all know the story: Arsène Wenger speaks five languages. Which is five more than “Sir” Alex Ferguson. While “Sir” Alex berates Manchester United’s fans for being at a funeral, Arsène thanks Arsenal fans for their magnificent support. When commenting on the Arsenal unbeaten season “Sir” Alex makes bizarre comparisons with the Rangers team he…
The difference between Kevin Keegan and Arsene Wenger is most interesting. Keegan we are informed, hasn’t watched a match in 3 years, since the moment he left Manchester City. Mr Wenger apparently watches about 3 games a day – sometimes more. Keegan has a reputation for cutting the reserve and youth teams (well, that is what…
To the tune of Sailing We’re not stupid; we’re not stupid We’re not stupid, David Dein We’re not stupid; we’re not stupid We’re not stupid, David Dein In the rough and tumble of football it is part and parcel of the game, the heritage and the culture for supporters of one team to be rude…
Another new section – we are growing it based on what we see at the Wengerdrome. Most people just use the language of football without thinking about it. We try and think – just a bit.
