Dear Fellow Gunners, In the last few weeks we have fallen further behind in the League, lost limply to Nottm Forest in the FA Cup, struggled through to the next round of the Europa League and been beaten soundly by Man City in the League Cup Final – a bad run interspersed with some wins […]
Dear Fellow Gunners Three good wins followed by the United defeat and now two draws in matches we would expect to win and then the hard fought win over Newcastle. A friend approached me after the win – quite agressively commenting on my support for Wenger. I did not want to raise the temperature and […]
Dear Fellow Gunners Quite a few points to cover;- The Cup Final was on 27 May and the first match of the new season is on 11 August. Six weeks since we saw our team triumph in style against Chelsea at Wembley and another five weeks before AFC open the new season against […]
