Greetings, y’all. How is it going? I’m still beaming and glowing and floating in the air as I’m sure you are. It’s not about Arsenal winning against Tottenham, which by itself is enough to cause these feelings. It was the manner of the victory. Once Arsenal settled into a rhythm, it always looked like the serene Red would triumph over ugly Lily-white. To a man, … Continue reading Arsenal 2 – 0 Spuds: RIP Power-Shift

Morning lads. Pretty glum mood over here in the Arsenal fan camp. I’m sure you all know what happened – Manchester City scored 3 goals and Arsenal scored 1. By the laws of mathematics, 3 is greater than 1 and by the laws of football, whoever scores the greater number of goals is adjudged as the winner. So, Manchester City were the winners against Arsenal. … Continue reading Manchester City 3 – 1 Arsenal: On the Line

Namaskar fellow Gooners! I intend to keep this post a little short in order to take advantage of Subway’s offer of giving a free sandwich for every one you buy but I’m guessing I’ll just end up going into gory Arsenal details anyway. Speaking of gory Arsenal details, Cazorla recently spoke to Marca in an exclusive wherein he touched upon his injury and his subsequent … Continue reading Freewheeling Friday – A (sound?) 0-0 amongst other things

Cheers ye all. How do you do? Chuba did manage to successfully extricate me from the throes of some GRE preparation. I have found that while preparing for an exam, most time is spent just saying you’re preparing and feeling very busy. And while I was busy, the world continued to spin, people continued to die and Arsenal continued to win at the Emirates. The … Continue reading Arsenal 2-1 Swansea: Looking Forward

Namaste Gooners For weeks together now, Santi and yours truly have not kept you, the readers, abreast of the happenings in and around London Colney (with a couple of away trips of course, as customary) and for that, we truly apologize. Our sabbatical of sorts, if you noticed, coincided quite “coincidentally” with a run of games against lower opposition whose burning intensity to win could … Continue reading Freewheeling Friday – Cojones, AGM and mad proofs about Eddie!

There is often a criticism levelled at Arsenal fans. That we expect too much. That we have it real good. At least we’re not Aston Villa. We’re Champions League regulars, we have an amazing stadium, great revenues and are at a position which every club in the world, bar few, would love to be in. You see, there’s a reason you see grown men do … Continue reading Chelsea 0 – 0 Arsenal: Was that so hard?

Greetings fellow Gooners! First off, apologies for not writing last week’s edition of Freewheeling Friday due to a combination of preparing for a few competitive exams and my laptop conking out at an extremely inopportune moment. Without any further delay, let’s get down to business. I’ve decided to write the entirety of this article on our first Europa League outing in the form of player ratings … Continue reading Freewheeling Friday – Our latest European escapade

Greetings lads and ladies. What’s going on? First off, we from ArseIndia must apologise for the lack of a post before the weekend’s game. It was a technical glitch, ’nuff said. After 2 long, dreary weeks without club football, the Premier League returned on Saturday. In the early kick-off, Manchester City thumped Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Liverpool 5-0 after a Sadio Mane saw red presenting his studs … Continue reading Looking Forward to the Europa

“He (Wenger) couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag” – Tony Adams Tony Adams isn’t Arsene Wenger’s biggest fan. An old school English hard-man and footballer, Tony Adams’ football grounding is at odds with Wenger’s more professor-esque and scientific approach to all things football. How the pair came to meet initially is fascinating though. After George Graham’s teams stopped responding to his disciplinarian … Continue reading Arsene, The Idealist and The Educator

And so, the circus comes to a close. At least everywhere except Spain. Unless Real or Barca pull off some crazy last minute signing, we can more or less be sure of the end of ridiculous rumours swirling around players. For at least the next 6 months. It also marks the end of our participation in it. For a summer that seemed to promise so much, … Continue reading Freewheeling Friday – Transfer Round-Up
