After an extended break from all things Arsenal I’m back, refreshed and raring to go for what should be another year of watching Arsenal and telling you what I think about it all.

I’m baaaack! And it’s about time, too. For those who are unaware, I took some time off over the World Cup to begin the very exciting Football Nomad adventure.

Following Arsenal from Australia is a unique experience. It means a midnight kick-off for the weekend game and a 4.30am starts for midweek one. It means sneaking away from your friends birthday party to watch them at the pub. It means going to the work bleary-eyed and hungover after seeing them throw away another shot at [...]

A few weeks ago I was sent a copy of the very excellent Gooner Review DVD to, er, review. Only now have I gotten around to it. The Gooner Review is a superb documentary of all things Arsenal from the 2008/09 season. It features celebrity and not-so-celebrity Arsenal supporters from all over the world debating [...]

I’d absolutely love to get as many people in involved and as a [...]

Way back on the 5th of June I announced that I was taking a little break from blogging until the completion of Emirates Cup. At the time I felt I needed to take some pressure off and have a bit of mental rest for while, although I admit I posted quite a bit over the [...]
