Where The FA really does mean FUC* ALL

0
It was Jane Addams who said "The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself." Yes, I am of course referring to the definition of Hypocrisy. Coming from the Greek hypókrisis for play acting, It is a word often used about others and rarely about ourselves. Take the treatment of players like [. Click to continue reading...

Well done Burnley, and is it civil war at Arsenal?

0
Owen Coyle rode his luck and his side completed Capital Punishment III with a performance worthy of potential Carling Cup winners. The story of the night was that Burnley took their chances, whereas this very capable Arsenal side wasted theirs. Burnley were opened up repeatedly in the first half, and Niklas Bendtner who [.

I expect Burnley to abandon their footballing principles tonight

2
Burnley is a long established club that was one of the original founders of the football league. Mark Randall went there on loan and Legend Ian Wright even played for the Clarets after he left Celtic. They have done well in the Carling Cup so far, and their defeat of [...] Click to continue reading...

An open letter to Piers “Judas” Morgan

0
Dear Mr Piers Morgan, There have been very few occasions where I felt that being a voyeur and watching someone else's misfortune is so sado-masochistic that it rivals performing the act of Japanese disembowelment with a blunt Swiss army pen knife. So it was that I wandered back to the Online Daily Mail to see the [. Click to continue reading...

What more do you all want? post match reflection with video

1
I make no apologies for dwelling upon the victory at Stamford bridge. You can see the best bits on GoonerTube The way that some Arsenal fans have greeted this victory is astonishing. Papering over the cracks, they say... If only we hadn't lost to Stoke they moan. Yeah well sh*t happens [...] Click to continue reading...

You write off this Arsenal team at your peril! Chelsea 1 Arsenal 2.

1
No need to write anything but the result. Jamie Rednapp had us written off, the media and the Bookies had us written off, and as I have repeatedly said in my blogs. I luv it, I really luv it when everyone writes us off! Chelsea (Russian tarts) 1 Arsenal (Pride of London) 2 Robin [...] Click to continue reading...

Our side has responded strongly when its been backed [. Click to continue reading...

Samir Nasri - the magical force of the number 8 shirt!

0
I decided that the wait for the big London clash on Sunday is getting drawn out, so rather than navel gaze, I decided to give Insider's the rare delicacy of agreement. To state that Samir Nasri has made an impact is widely accepted. his scoring has been an asset, and his ability to dove tail with [. Click to continue reading...

TGIF:We’ve got a new LEADER!!!

0
PGL: Morning folks and welcome to another ‘Thank Gooner it's Friday'. Have any of us got over the spanking at City? I'm not sure I have but there's a Chinese saying ‘pin-yin:shi shi zao ying xiong', which means ‘leaders are made over turbulent times' and amidst the recent turbulence, we've got a new leader, lets [.

I tip Adebayor to topple Chelsea…

2
Just for once I believe that the force is with us. After a dreadful series of results, the green shoots of a premature recovery may be breaking through. The reason? In the space of a week, we have a new Captain, a new CEO and most importantly a new level of focus. I have always [...] Click to continue reading...

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND OF 16 – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED – JUST!

1
Not a great performance by the boys (and many of them were boys) against Ukraine's finest last night at the Grove, but it was enough – just. We'll need a minimum of a point in Oporto at O Estádio do Dragão ("The Dragon Stadium") in thirteen days' time [...] Click to continue reading...

Cesc Fabregas the new Arsenal Captain, and do things the Arsenal Way please Arsene…

1
Arsene Wenger revealed at a press conference that Cesc Fabregas has been appointed the new Arsenal Captain. This is the kind of good news that all Arsenal fans have been waiting for. For me it ends any speculation that Cesc Fabregas will be leaving this club for Barcelona. The acceptance of the captaincy means that [. Click to continue reading...

CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS? – TIME FOR ACTION

0
Is there a crisis at Arsenal? No. Well, not yet anyway. It has however gone badly pear-shaped on the park. Others have commented on our miserable, passionless performances at home to Villa (including me) and at the Council House against Citeh this past weekend. I'll leave match analysis to others. I want to concentrate on what [. Click to continue reading...
