In 2006 a few writers for The Gooner got together to bounce ideas around for the magazine, and I suggested “101 Reasons Why Arsenal Are Better Than Spurs”. Brian Dawes (@Gooner48) immediately said, “No – 1,961 reasons!” So that’s what we did. The feature ran for a couple of seasons on The Gooner‘s inside back…

So CL qualification has been seen off in quite short order and after a first day loss Arsenal have now won three games in a row fairly comfortably. Twitter informs me that Arsene has overseen 12 CL qualification matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding three. I think it’s fair to say Arsenal (as third or…

I haven’t had much time for blogging lately. I have sent the odd tweet out into the world, just so people don’t think I’ve died. Usually I tweet when a thought occurs to me that seems interesting enough to share. Sometimes I think that maybe I’m a bit like a woman asking for advice: despite…

I’m a busy man and I’ve got no time to write anything tonight. However, as luck would have it, some guy I’ve never heard of sent me this, so enjoy: I go back to the good (or is that bad!?) old days, standing on the North Bank with my uncle as a 9 year old…

I can’t imagine ever wanting Arsenal to lose in order to force a change at the club. I suppose the only circumstances I might hope for a loss would be if it were to prevent Spurs winning the league, or perhaps more likely, if we’re out of the running for top four come the last…

I did a poll a couple of days ago asking what people thought would happen in the forthcoming season if no more signings materialised for Arsenal. And it seems that a large majority think nothing much will change in the league table from what we’re used to. Now is that just complacence on the part…

Friday’s blog post on KSE buying two Arsenal shares got a fair bit of interest. You will recall that Stan Kroenke, under the guise of Kroenke Sports Enterprises, bought two shares in Arsenal on 11 July, but this wasn’t announced until four weeks later. This is despite Mr K being a Director of Arsenal, which…

Rumours of signings for Arsenal still abound. Not Higuain now, obviously, not Cesc, still not Rooney, or Fellaini, or Bernard the Brazilian, or most of the others we’ve been linked with in the last three months. Maybe Suarez, who knows? But supposing it’s no one. Okay, no one apart from Sanogo. What’s the likely outcome…

Well now, here’s a thing. I wait all summer for Alisher Usmanov to admit to buying another Arsenal share, and he doesn’t (so far). But out of the blue Stan Kroenke decides to buy two shares. Why? You may well ask. I noticed yesterday that the webpage maintained by Arsenal that lists ‘major shareholdings’ in…
