Jokman's Corner

Scottish Arsenal fan, suffering from an over-estimation of wit. Wispa Gold saviour. Fanshare. Aspiring commentator.


Arsenal Academy

Goonersphere's Arsenal Academy column aims to keep you up to date with the happenings at Hale End. Here we hope to feature news, match previews, reviews, opinions and player profiles.


Captain Fantactique

cf2Jeremy Docteur, known on Twitter as @BackoTheDoc, is a Franco-Australian Gooner with a spark of interest in tactics and the atmosphere of football in general. Jeremy is the Goonersphere tactical analysis and Ligue 1 expert and will be writing incredible tactical analyses as well as giving us the lowdown on the noises coming from Ligue 1.

Ross is no stranger to working with Arsenal bloggers, creating websites, logos and illustrations and is happy to help where he can.

DNArsenal

Self-proclaimed arsehole but that’s okay. He’s Josh, he’s @DNArsenal, and he’s here to inform you of whatever’s going on in that twisted, demented, occasionally perverted, and Arsenal-filled mind of his. Fun fact: allergic to the word “Tottenham,” whatever that is.


The Fellowship of the Arse

FOTASeek for the Sword that was broken: In Highbury it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken, Stronger than Morgul-spells.

There shall be shown a token, That dawn is near at hand,
For Wenger's Bane has awoken, And Gooners forth shall stand.

It should come as no surprise to any of you that the wizard Mithrandir, old enough to be distinctly discerning, has wed his allegiances to The Arsenal.

Three hundred lives of men he has walked this Earth. He is a servant of the Sacred Fire; wielder of the flame of Highbury.

He likes less than half of you half as much as you deserve.

He is Gandalf the Red, and he comes back to you now at the turning of the tide.


The Garrison

The Garrison is our page for our sporadic columnists and feature pieces on the Gunners first team.

Contributors include:

Will Benn

William Benn is an attractive and well-built Arsenal fanatic living within pie-throwing distance of the Emirates. Supporter 1995-2013. Football-ignoring idiot 1998-2005, so managed to dramatically escape enjoying the greatest moments of our recent history. Made it back just in time for the CL final, thank goodness. Still an optimist, if a touch more cynical as the years go by. Will, will be writing about Arsenal as only Will can. Did we mention attractive?


Brian Fettner

Brian Fettner, known on Twitter as @GunnerFaithful.


Martijn Stolze

Martijn Stolze is an unwavering Gooner since 1998. All the staggering highs and shattering lows have taken a toll on his health.


Barnaby Merrill

Barnaby is a mere stripling in terms of life and footballing experience, but a lack of much resembling a social life has given him great insight into the world of football, from both a tactical and a fan's viewpoint. He's also fond of a nice soapbox, telling fans how best to get behind the team and respond to the mind-crushingly dull tide of transfer rumours that fill everyday Gooner life.


Lewis Rowland

This boyhood Arsenal fan enjoys writing about the beautiful game and Arsenal in particular. Lewis writes match previews, statistical analyses and opinion pieces.


Queen of Suburbia


Christopher Flanagan

Christopher is a man so obsessed with football he started writing academic papers about it. Christopher has been an attendee of the Arsenal for 20 years and it's safe to say he has enjoyed several minutes of it. Writing for Goonersphere about the business of football, the law around it, and anything else that piques his interest.


Andy Stern

Andy is an Arsenal fan who attends as many first team games as he can, as well as frequently going to youth games. He's a firm believer in Arsene Wenger, and despises people who have 'always loved watching Borussia Dortmund'! Achievements: Once nearly bought Marc Overmars' house...


A Gooner Matata

A Gooner Matata, what a wonderful phrase...

Chris is a season ticket holder, part-time away fan and is adamant that Arshavin was not a flop! Ask him what he is all about and his answer will simply be "The Arsenal".


On This Day

On This Day is Goonersphere's history section dedicated to our club's glorious past.


Simon Weiss

ArsenalgermanySimon Weiss, known on Twitter as @SimonAFC, is a student from Germany with a keen interest in all things Arsenal, tactics and coaching as well as the business of football. Simon is the Goonersphere German Bundesliga expert and will be writing on a variety of Arsenal matters as well as giving us the odd insight into the Bundesliga and German football in general.


Litmanen's Totaal Arsenal

dennisflickLitmanen is a Dutch bilingual former journalism student and boyhood Arsenal fan. He enjoys writing about the beautiful game and is the Goonersphere Dutch Eredivisie expert and will be writing on a variety of Arsenal matters as well as giving us unique insight into Dutch and/or Eredivisie players.


SimAntics

Sim is a caramel love-god who walks the Earth dishing out pelvic justice who in his spare time enjoys drinking too much, watching Arsenal, debating semantics and writing fan-fiction about the object of his unhealthy obsession, Jok.


A Song Of Arse & Fire

Student and gooner, Arsenal remains my one and only love - although Arsene Wenger would run pretty close. Eternal realist and strong believer in securing a long term future over short term trophy aspirations.


Sterling Display

Malcolm Sterling is a life-long Gooner with an appreciation for defensive midfielders and "seeing games out". Favourite players include Emmanuel Petit, Gilberto and Michael Thomas. Hates social media more than he hates "that poxy radio clown" but loves horses more than Michael Owen and enjoys a football flutter. Malcolm misses Highbury more than he can express despite only managing to visit fewer times than he's been to the Emirates.


Armchair Gooner

The zany column of piratical libertine, and professional Gordon Freeman lookalike, James 'Raul' Stokes. James is a serious writer, co-host of the Goonersphere Podcast and CEO of Pulitzer prize-winning journalism site The Armchair Gooner.
