Notice to readers: Please join me in expressing our most sincere condolences to Omi Javed, our customary match reporter, on the recent and sudden passing of his father. As Omi has expressed publicly on twitter, this has affected him greatly. Understandably he was unable to make his usual post-match contribution….

It took 18-months for Unai Emery, Raul Sanllehi and company to drag Arsenal down into midtable, far quicker than I could have imagined, and in my opinion it will take as much time, if not longer, to rebuild the Gunners and make us into a top-top team again. As of…
In this podcast George and yours truly, Shotta, discuss the massive positivity among Arsenal fans on the signing of Mikel Arteta as head coach but wonder how long the honeymoon will last. In our opinion his biggest challenge is getting power over the signing and selling of players. But with…
Arteta and Wenger Based on press reports, the appointment of Mikel Arteta as the new Arsenal head-coach is imminent. I am loathed to grant them any credence given the long history of “fake news” by the mainstream media when it comes to Arsenal, but in this case one cannot ignore…
In this edition Shotta and Blackburn George, discuss Arsenal’s 3-0 defeat at home to Manchester City; how the gunners were outclassed particularly in midfield and explain why this is further evidence of a grim future for the club. Is the Titanic afloat or sinking? Should we take to the liferafts…

Compliments of Wikimedia New Podcast: Arsenal is sinking like the Titanic, critically damaged but the band is still playing. No quick-fix available. Sinking into relegation danger. Freddie Ljunberg unlikely to survive. Key players have been lost because the Kroenkes refuse to spend big on wages. More likely to leave as…
Arsenal did not merely lose to Brighton, they were outplayed in midfield by one of the poorest teams in the league; 49.2% possession to the Gunners versus 50.8% for the Seagulls. This is unheard of in the modern era. Under Arsene Wenger, only the best teams in Europe have come…
In his first match as Arsenal’s new head coach, a 2-2 draw with Norwich, there were positive signs from Freddie Ljunberg’s first match as coach of Arsenal but there is still a long way to go. The team showed aggressive, attacking intent but there remains a lack of quality in…
