Topic: Unhappy with atmosphere at Arsenal games? Read this! (18/11)

I couldn't agree more!! When I fell in love with Arsenal in the 80's the football might have been average but the atmosphere was great. I have always said that the Club need to drive any initiatives forward as they have the ability to reach the wider audience and if they sanction it, more people wil...

Topic: Money is at the root of Arsenal’s problems (17/11)

I probably need to clarify a couple of things as I wrote this not long after watching my team perform as meekly as I have seen in nearly 30 years. I don't think that money is the root of all our problems - I think it is the over-riding problem. Lack of quality and poor attitudes are equally to blame...

Topic: What if Beckham had joined Arsenal on loan? (6/11)

Is this a wind up?? With all of our current problems, we need 3 months of Beckham about as much as America needs another 8 years of George Bush. What incentive would Goldenbollocks have for getting stuck in when the tackles are flying at Hull, Everton and Sp*rs (our away matches in Jan / Feb)? All h...

As a former semi pro keeper (more semi than pro I can assure you, I was pretty shite at the best of times!!) Manuel isn't the best but he certainly isn't the worst. And he definitely isn't the main problem in our team. Yes he's had a couple of poor games but so would Petr Cech playing behind that lo...

Excellent article by Brian as usual. I am 99% against booing with a tiny 1% of me thinking that some of the modern players we have to put up with, occassionally deserve the odd cat-call. In my 30 years I have never booed an Arsenal player but by God have I wanted to scream abuse at some of the young...

I agree with 99% of the original article as I have never been able to respect Ian Wright as a person - his overall achievements at Arsenal are superb but it's very hard to like him. Marc Ollington wrote a good article about him a couple of years ago, saying what an annoying character he is. I will n...

This kid is so funny - I think he's after your job Kev!! I agree with him entirely about Eboue & Lehmann but where Hleb is concerned I'm on Alex's side. Yes he is a frustrating player and I've lost count of the times I've screamed "FOR GOD'S SAKE SHOOT YOU SCRUFFY BA***RD" either at hi...

Bad luck

I wrote this article before Keef Edelman's announcement and before the Derby match / Champions League semi finals. One more piece of bad fortune now springs to mind - if we had won just 2 of our drawn matches, (Birmingham? Wigan? Boro? Portsmouth?) we would be going into the last 2 games of an arduo...
