Well Arsène has done it again. And I don’t mean pulling off a stunning success by signing Welbeck on deadline day while not even in the country, I mean by doing just enough with new players to keep the Arsenal fan base firmly divided down the middle. I’m stuck in limbo again now, probably for…

Here’s an interview with Denis Hill-Wood from the Arsenal programme at the start of the 1979-80 season. There were some similarities with the situation Arsenal are currently in, having just won the FA Cup, their first trophy for eight years. If DH-W’s words teach us anything it’s that the more football changes, the more it…

Here’s a piece from The Times a few weeks ago, just for your interest. Our old mate Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith, former director of Arsenal Football Club, the first and only female and probably the first person of non-British origin ever to sit on the Arsenal Board, has upped sticks and gone to live in Monaco.…

Mertesacker was interviewed by the BBC after the game and asked if, under the circumstances, that felt like a win. He considered the question carefully and avoided answering it. To me, and I guess Per, it didn’t feel like a win, it felt like a draw, and you don’t finish at the top of the…

Well I say all. All I could find easily. If you’ve seen others I can add, please let me know in the comments or tweet me: @AngryOfN5

A veritable twitterstorm was set off in the Goonersphere yesterday morning following a blog on the aisforarsenal site highlighting the real attendances at Arsenal matches. The blogger, John B, has gone to the trouble of using the Freedom of Information Act to get figures of actual attendances from the Metropolitan Police, and Arsenal have agreed…

Guys! Look at us! Squabbling, bickering. Like children. What’s happening to us? We never used to be like this!”…

How do Arsenal supporters know it’s July? Easy: 1. £100m+ war chest available – check 2. List of overpaid deadwood leaving the club published – check 3. Core players tell everyone how we need a big summer in the market – check 4. Stars long-rumoured to want to leave, leave – check 5. Stars you…

On my recent blog about the Ivan Gazidis supporters’ Q&A, a commenter asked the following: Phil, What format would you prefer at these meetings? Genuine question btw. I find that questions along the lines of “Are we gunna sign anyone Ivan?” as quite moronic and easily deflected. I suppose it’s a bit difficult to garner…

Last night was the annual Supporters’ Q&A with Arsenal’s Chief Executive, currently Ivan Gazidis. This was started as an AST event back in the days of Keith Edelman. When he left Ken Friar kindly stepped in for a year, and more recently Ivan has become noticeably more reluctant to maintain the event in anything like…
