Permutations show how far Arsenal have fallen
It's that time of the year where football fans start to become mathematicians, as they try to calculate the various permutations that could befall their football team. How many points to be assured of safety? How many points to get in to the playoff places? How close are we to the Europa League spots? What [...]

Formation flip-flopping and transfer plan confusion at Arsenal
I'd like to tell you that I'm still reeling from Sunday's performance but much like our domestic season, it all feels a little pointless and actually, it wouldn't be true, because I just feel resigned when I think about Arsenal this season in the league. People have stopped talking to me about Arsenal specifically at [...]

City defeat again: Arsène knows. Knows it’s over.

Absence and accountability at Arsenal
Gee golly it's cold here in London. The deceptive cold. The cold that when you look outside from your windows you see beautiful sunshine and crisp white powder on the ground and think "how beautiful" but when you step outside and try to avoid the ice you think "how treacherous".

Arsenal fans ‘goodwill’ down to fumes
I kept my own counsel yesterday with matters pertaining to The Arsenal, partly due to the nature of the defeat on Sunday, but also because I felt rough as an old pair of boots. Said 'roughness' was partially of my own doing; I wasn't really that well on Sunday but I decided I was going [...]
