So Robin Van Persie is not going to sign a new contract. Are you surprised? I know I’m not. He is 28-years-old and has been at Arsenal for eight seasons. In that time he has won just one major trophy – the FA Cup in 2005. Surely a player of his ability deserves to have […]

O Captain, My Captain
I do not care if Robin Van Persie wants to leave. Players come players go this is football and given the state of current football with the ‘sugar daddy’ culture in our league we have to accept this is part of our game now. What I do care about is Van Persie being handed the […]
This season coming
After a season of more ups and downs than a Thorpe Park rollercoaster, and more emotions than a Sinead O’Connor song, I think I speak for all Arsenal fans when I say a steady, consistent season is what we need; however the likelihood of that happen is utterly obscene. Nothing is ever, ever consistent and […]
Are Arsenal a Premier League team with a Non League Medical Team?
Yes this subject has been starting to get under my skin and once I analysed it and made active comparisons it dawned on me where we have to lay some of the blame for no trophies in seven years! After going to the States and South Africa and been a typical sports mad bloke, I […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year?!
July. Wet, rainy, football free July. How on earth can this be considered the best time in the calendar for football fans I hear you cry? Simply because of all times of the year it is the greatest of them to feel that wonderful emotion. Hope. WTTGT
Early signings look good but Van Persie holds the key
The signings of Lukas Podolski and Oliver Giroud, plus the possible arrival of Yann M’Vila, are encouraging signs, but are they really the type of players Arsenal needs to challenge for the title next season? Podolski appears to be a direct replacement for Andrey Arshavin, while Giroud, at 6ft 3in, is the obvious choice to replace […]
Could Song and M’Vila play together?
After being linked with the club for several transfer windows, and touted as on the brink of a move for the past number of weeks, Arsenal target Yann M’Vila made his flirtatious relationship with the Gunners very public. WTTGT
Serge Gnabry – The Explosive Young Gunner
Although his name may not be as familiar to many as Benik Afobe or Joel Campbell, Serge Gnabry remains a prime attacking prospect for Arsenal despite his tender age. He impressed Arsenal scouts at VfB Stuttgart’s youth academy, earning plaudits for his performances at the 2010 Nike Cup, which persuaded the Gunners to offer him […]
The Song Enigma
Firstly this article is not a criticism of Alex Song who for me was one of our most consistent performers last season. The actual point I am going to make is how imperative it is the Arsenal sign a genuine holding defensive-minded midfielder. Song has had his critics which I feel is very unfair, as […]
A summer that could define Monsieur Wenger
The summer of 2012; a defining summer for both the direction of the football club, and the destiny of Arsene Wenger. The club, while learning from last summer, has once again put itself in an unfortunate position of letting yet another star player run his contract down to just one more year. WTTGT
