There have been many times when I have blasted ex-Arsenal players, that have become TV and newspaper pundits, who continue to knock Arsenal when we are down.
These 'experts' claim to love the club yet jump on a bandwagon that has gained more pace than Frank Lampard chasing an ice-cream van down a hill.
Its easy to follow the herd and repeat what a lot of others say when you don't have a brain or your own opinion.
Paul Merson is the greatest example in recent years. He contradicts himself left, right and centre.
One minute he says Arsenal need to spend money, and when they do, he says its panic buying. Indeed.
Merson, like a lot of other ex-Arsenal players who have to turned to punditry, says he only wants what is best for the club and that he love the Gunners with all his heart.
Bollocks. It is more fashionable than Gok Wan with a mullet to have a pop at Arsenal at the minute and easier than shagging Lindsay Lohen to do so.
When people have a go at Arsenal it makes my blood boil hotter than a kettle could.
I can keep my cool if the argument or criticism against the club is justified.
But when it is apparent that person is so anti-Arsenal, for whatever reason, it drives me insane in the membrane.
That's why Charlie Nicholas is like a breath of fresh in the world of these TV 'experts' and has been for a long time.
Charlie needs a gee-up because you just know that he genuinely loves Arsenal.
When criticism of Arsenal is needed he will criticise. But he does it more fairly than the football TV rights in Spain.
What I like most about him though is that he defends the club better the famous back-five of Seaman, Dixon, Bould, Adams and Winterburn.
During his job on Sky Sports, with other pundits, if Arsenal are knocked, then watch the way Nicholas sticks up for the club.
It is lovely to watch and I only wished that the other ex-Arsenal pundits took a leaf from his book.
Maybe then I wouldn't dislike most of them them the way I do. It hurts to say I don't like ex-players of the club. The same people I used to idolise.
Keep it up Charlie Nicholas. You go up in my estimation all the time.
Keep It Goonerish..........

Agreed mate.
I watched that today and that prat who's present's it was trying every negative about us.
Well done Charlie you and Keown stand alone!
Keep up the blog, always a positive read.
Loved this post, thanks. Blog is now bookmarked.
Thanks Nathan and anonymous!
I loved watching Charlie on Sky today. Brilliant seeing him defend Arsenal!
This is the worst Arsenal blog on the Internet. You've always been brainless and too fucking scared to voice an opinion because you're afraid what people might say about your tacky blog. You're a complete coward. How dare you criticise Merson, he won trophies for this club, what the fuck have you ever done except write a lame, shitty blog like a coward? Grow some balls for once.
I Wonder who the Clown that wrote the last comment was. It seems to me he/she is the coward and brainless person, he claims you are. F**k this Moron, what you said was spot on. Sometimes i wonder if any of these ex players were ever at the club. This is the time 4 us to stick together and back our beloved team. Gunners 4 Life
Glad someone else noticed this. Charlie's a true Gunner! Legend!
Yeah To the anonymous f**wit Merson was and is always pissed he won trophies for this club he didn't know about and Yeah more has been won since he left.All those who come up with negatives have been seeking jobs at the club but because of their attitudes and drunkenness, they won't get the job so they just slag Arsenal off
Top Blog Wrighty spot on with what you said about Mr Mullet Charlie Nicholas. I have been supporting Arsenal my whole life and there is no one better than Wenger IMO.
People say he only won trophies because he inherited the one of the greatest defences, granted that may be true but having a defence is one thing but who bought the players who scored all the goals in those teams and may I add that in our Invincible team none of those original defenders were even in the defence or first pick. I remember our defence of Lauren/Sol/Toure/Cole who bought those players?? I dont believe you become a bad manager, anyone who says otherwise is talking bollocks and obviously knows nothing about the game.
I believe in Wenger and believe in what he is doing, I am sure there will be hundreds of fools to say just another rose tinted fan feeding this idea of winning our way. When we do win I will absolutely love it because if anyone has played any form of sport let me ask you this. Would you honestly be satisfied winning anything when you have bought every possible resource/player to get you to success? I for one would be much happier winning something with hard work knowing that people have spent and your still just as good if not better that in my opinion would be far more satisfying and rewarding.
To the twit! you are obviously not a gooner or you would know that since wenger let merson leave when he did'nt want to, he has always had a dig at any given opportunity. Yes Merson was a legend for arsenal but bitterness makes anyone ugly drunk or sober, Charli is a brilliantly honest pundit which is a rare thing on anti arsenal sly sports. On another note I thought Roy Keane did a good job for the Marseille game even though there will never be any love lost between him and Arsenal fans. Keep up the good work there is already plenty of moany blogs and it always refreshing to hear some positives
Spot on! Fuck McClintock, Wright, Merson and any other jealous ex-Arsenal cunt that now makes money by slafgging the club off for the biggest headlines.
Charlie is the nuts! He always defends the club and says it as it is. Look at the ress we had this week - Lucky Arsenal!!!! What?!? ManUre went to a side noi fit for a Conference side and needed 2 penalties to win it. We control Marseille for 90mins - win at the death, and branded lucky. When ManUre do it (always!) its never-say-die Champions! Utter Bollox.
Can't wait to stuff Pulis tomorrow. Is there a bigger cunt in football than him? And hope Frimpong plays and plows through Shawcross.
Nichols,keown and Ray Parlor are real people - Wrighty(Millwall fan) & Perry_Grove are rent-a-quote big heads,,Forget Merson, he's clueless
great blog, you got it spot on!!
the biggest c*** as a pundit is stuart robson. he gets paid to talk tactics for the arsenal website then he goes over to skysports news and rips into the club with absolutely no respect. im surprised he can look the arsenal staff in the face when hes at the training ground or the emirates, hes an absolute disgrace.
it baffles me that he is still allowed to work for arsenal after some of the stuff he says.
And there you are with a blog named after the most bitter and biggest hater of all. I haven't heard Wright say a decent thing about Arsenal since he left the club. He even encouraged Henry to go to Barcelona and Henry ignored him ... like us other Arsenal fans do.
Paul Merson has admitted on TV not long ago that he is a Chelsea fan, so OK let's not take any notice of what he has to say. I loved the Merse when he played for us but he is NOT a Gooner!!!
The club is healthy and well run and we're close to being a real force in the Premier League, when (if) we can get everyone fit we're as good as anyone. C'Mon you Reds.
And let's ditch that awful away kit!
Keep it going Wrighty. I enjoyed the read. I see Pauls mum had a go too.
Iirc the blogger's surname is coincidentally Wright.
Good post, Charlie was always one of my favoirite players as a kid. Him Keown and Dixon always stand up for us. Been disappointed with Mclintock and Graham's recent comments. Smith, Merson and Wright I gave up on along time ago.
Charlie Nick is a true Arsenal man, as is Ray Parlour, Martin Keown and Henry.
Pires and Bergkamp too love the club.
Its a sad fact that Wright, Merson and a few others have sold their souls and lined their pockets off the back of their alegiences to AFC.
Nothing wrong in a bit of constructive criticism, but these fuckers are just fucking haters man.
Genuine question here.
In Australia,we get a nightly show on ESPN caller Soccernetpass.......have you heard of it?
It's NOT an Aussie show.
Anyway,my question is who the fuck is Tommy Smyth,and what has be done?
I know he's a bald little hobbit from Ireland,and HATES Arsenal.
I wonder if Arsene stole his play lunch money at pre-school,or maybe slept with the little shits wife,because he turns every episode into his own battle with Arsenal.
As ever another lame post based on what ? Charlie celebrating a last minute goal. I'm sure all the Arsenal players you dissed including a double winning captain did exactly the same on Wednesday night - like every other Arsenal fan.
Charlie like the others has also criticised the situation at the club in particular the defending. He has said its not good enough. Because he cares - like the others.
I dont know point your trying to make with Charlie. He hasnt behaved any differently. All ex Arsenal players and all fans want the team to win.
Disagreeing with the way the club is bring run and managed doesnt make anyone fan or explayer less of a fan.
This is the worst Arse blog. Why dont you just change it to Worship Arsene dot com. Thats your only agenda.
i Just want to keep it simple RIGHT NOW THE TEAM NEEDS A 12TH MAN LETS SHOW OUR SUPPORT GOONER4LIFE
The reason why Bold, Dixon, Merson and the rest criticize Arsenal is because there shit
I used to love Merson!
Now I would love to Close Line the MUG!
I can't believe an x player can have so much hatred for the Arsenal.
Mers you could have been a legend but you are nothing but a bitter drunk with a fat head....
Good post Wrighty...I'm really sick and tired listening to some of these ex players who slag Arsenal off at any given chance. A half wit like Merson who recently got done for drink driving...He should never be on TV. Yes, we all want the team to do better but we are in transition as we bought so many players on deadline day. Things could've been handled differently, yes but that's in the past now...We are where we are now and there's really no point moaning at what could have been. We are on the up despite so many injuries. All the pundits want Tottenham to finish above us but they are not that good are they? Liverpool will not finish in the top 4. They keep talking about these two finishing above us to try to influence referees but we all know we will finish in the top 4 come May....
How refreshing a blog that sticks up for the team. Bloody sick of all the anti gooners (so called fans of Arsenal. If you don't love the club okay that's your opinion but please give us a break and piss off to the scum or any another team. Just hope someone keeps a list of these so called fans and at the end of the season sticks it up them. Go you GUNNERS.
Spot on Brother Gooner, they could all do with a few lessons from our Charlie, like your blog, saved in the favourites now look forward to reading future blogs.
Charlie is a legend..you are so right mate. Congrats for pointing out what I have been helplessly listening to over the TV, Radio and Media over the past months. Let me name and shame:- Frank Mclintock, Merse, Seaman, Winterburn, Dixon, George "Judas" Graham, Stewart "knob-jockey" Robson - God he has been making a living on Talksport about Arsenal!
Good Blo..keep it up!
criticism is good, its building. But the way p.merson did is way to much. It will cause confidence issue for new and younger player..i think merson is not that good as a player either, lucky he have a brilliant team mate...;p
To be fair Paul Merson is right about the last bit of spending Arsenal did because that was a panic buying session. If we really wanted Arteta and Benyoun and Santos why wait until the last day? I do think Mertsaker was a player Arsenal had looked at for a while.
this is so funny, deluded tossers, so funny, what a bunch of fucking retards
I think they think they have to be impartial,take Alan Smith you would'nt know he once played for Arsenal.
Charlie writes a column in an Irish Newspaper every sunday (The Sunday World) and no matter how badly we are doing he always says things like he feels we are just a couple of games away from turning it round or that we might win the Champions League - the man is a legend
at last, a decent blog
Spot on, I also agree that Keown talks sense- the rest of the old back four should be shown the door
one other point I have heard mention that as its our worst start to the season does it mean that its going to be our best finish, rather than the usual fizzle out at the end
charlie's a star im a celtic gal but my ol man my two sons and nephews are gooners.russ is 4 ever saying charlies the only ex player who always says the right things and loves him 2 bits.up the arse and keep it goonerish
just seen anonymous's comment,shocking.Keep it up wrighty never mind that egg plant
chalie is a Fat useless cunt, shite footballer and one annoying cunt as a pudit, the fat cunt keeps saying jeff, does he fancy him or something....
dont get me started on the sweaty cunt.........merson was and still is a complete waste of time.lousy drunk lousy gambler and the useless cunt keeps repeating himself himself, what a cunt a cunt.....then you have donkey adams paraletic in the chequers every night, because the big nosed cunt cant take his liquor, basically a team of cunts
