I must say I have long been in the camp with a big flag flying saying “Walcott’s not worth it. Let him go if he wants to. We can spend the money better elsewhere.” Like I said, it’s a big flag. But I must admit he is looking more convincing in front of goal recently,…

I’ve recently been reading ‘Herbert Chapman on Football’, a collection of the great man’s newspaper columns from his time as Arsenal manager. I’m not even half way through yet, but the man’s genius shines through from almost every page. He introduced so many things that are taken for granted now, because we have all grown…

Plenty of referring controversy this weekend. Arteta was offside for Arsenal’s goal; Hernandez was offside for one of Man Utd’s goals; Suarez had a goal ruled out for an offside that wasn’t; Torres was sent off with a second yellow for diving; Valencia was also booked for diving in the same game; Ivanovic was sent…

I was going to go into some detail about the goings on at today’s Arsenal AGM, but as I was pondering the performance of the various Arsenal Board members who took an active part, something struck me: the problem with Stan Kroenke is he doesn’t get what it means to be a football fan. Stan…

Here’s a feature on Olivier Giroud from The Times last Friday. Last Friday, of course, things looked a bit rosier for Gooners than they do now. Since then we have had two defeats where we managed one shot on target, a speculative effort from a 17-year old sub in injury time of the second game.…

So the ‘promising’ start to the season well and truly evaporated today. We languish in ninth place, though a win would have taken us fourth, at least until tomorrow. Despite the disappointment of the performance and the result, that does show that a win or two can still take you a long way up the…

There was one of these last season. And also a Russian version of it. So here’s this season’s. Who is the ideal Premier League club for you: Twitter: @AngryOfN5

These stats and facts are all completely useless, but nonetheless interesting. Compared to some things, anyway. (All taken from The Times.) Steven Fletcher of Sunderland is the only top division player to score his team’s first five goals in the Premier League era without any of them being a penalty. On September 29, Liverpool became…

Everyone knows that Arsenal fans have been singing “One-Nil to the Arsenal” since George Graham made the scoreline popular when he tried to bore us to death in the latter part of his tenure as Arsenal boss. And we’ve sung it ever since, mostly ironically for quite a few years, but more recently sometimes actually…

I’ve got some more free stuff to give away today (following the signed Cesc picture, the signed 2006 shirt and the signed Ian Wright poster and football), stuff that money almost literally cannot buy. You might think you can buy anything if you have enough money, but Alisher Usmanov hasn’t managed to buy Arsenal yet,…
