First thing’s first, let me apologise for the lack of Henry Watch over the past few weeks. I can only put this down to disorientation induced by Arsenal’s recent turbulence. In this challenging time I have sought solace in one of our former heroes. Thierry Henry is still alive and...

It can be a very peculiar business, supporting a Football team. As a neutral you generally want goals, slick passages of play, penalty kicks – missed or otherwise. When you’re watching your team, when the result really matters, I suspect most of us would trade a chunk of that action...

The Capital One Cup (I preferred it when it was the Littlewoods) isn’t supposed to matter. It’s meant to be a time to sit back and enjoy Football without the pressure of desperately needing a result. An opportunity to watch the stars of the future stake their claim for senior...

When ESPN previewed this game the assembled wisdom of Martin Keown, John Barnes and Craig Burley couldn’t see any other result than a comfortable victory for Arsenal. Despite what has been, on the whole, a decent start for us I had to disagree with the panel. This was just the sort of game...

Our unbeaten start to the season came to end on Saturday as we were left to rue mistakes we thought we’d seen the back of. Post-match I couldn’t work out if I was frustrated or strangely reassured. There was obvious frustration that we conceded such soft goals, yet the very fact that...

It was the 1st February 2012 and I was leaving the Reebok Stadium after Arsenal were held to the dullest of 0-0 draws on a cold, wet and blustery evening in the North west. Yes, one of those. I could count myself lucky it wasn’t Stoke though, I guess. As I left the ground, I heared...

Another year, another Champions League campaign. I have to confess that I rarely get excited about the group stages. Being, as we are, long term residents of Pot A we don’t tend to get an early glamour tie and therefore most of our games at this point seem to be engagements we have to...
