You may or may not be aware that Arsenal have a Fans’ Forum, where they invite representatives from different groups of supporters to discuss matters of concern a few times a season. Fair play to Arsenal for doing this, as many clubs don’t do anything similar. Whether they’re really listening is another matter, though. Ahead…
Will Arsenal beat Hull? They damn well should. Look at the size of the clubs, look at the trophy count, look at the league positions. But unfortunately in football things often don’t go as planned, and with Arsenal in finals that is especially true. We can all remember a few we have messed up. But…
I did a flowchart last year on how Arsene buys players, but the wily old fox has changed his methods. I had to send Edna the tea lady in to root around in Ivan’s bin again to find out what was going on. She came up with this: Follow me on twitter: @AngryOfN5

This kind of belief really demands a willingness to ignore facts that must give hope to extremist politicians everywhere.…
Some interesting calculations appeared in The Times on Monday (21st April), where the estimable Bill Edgar looked at how injuries have affected the current top four and Man Utd this season. (Bill rightly has no time for the smaller clubs who are never going to make a serious challenge for the title. *cough* Spurs!) Using…
Phew. Got away with that one.
I’m puzzled as to why the Arsenal manager thought it was a good idea to go into the season with one recognised striker. I’m puzzled as to why he thinks Yaya Sanogo is ready to play in the Premier League. I’m puzzled as to why he didn’t make more effort to buy anyone in January…
I’ll keep this fairly short. Arsène Wenger is right when he says, as he always does, that fans and media overreact to a single defeat. You only need to see how the media change the title race from two contenders to four to three, to whatever they fancy after a single unexpected result. That much…
