Pre-Season Diary As I begin to write this, it has just occurred to me that I have neglected to change the title properly for the last few weeks, and we were stuck on week four for three weeks.I’m looking on that as a symbolic reflection of the Silly Season, rather than a shambolic reflection of […]

Arsene Wenger ‘buy them cheap sell them dear,’ the profit master
Global Gooner Sundays Even before Arsene Wenger presided the helm of affairs at Highbury, he requested the club management to procure the signing of a rather unknown, lanky Frenchman namely Patrick Vieira; who, as we all know, went on to become club captain, legend, generation’s best holding midfielder and an apt symbol of the ethnically-diverse, […]
Arsenal to model midfield on title-winning Juve; Arteta the new Pirlo?

Thierry Henry is and always will be regarded as one of the greatest players to every grace these isles. Both opposition players and fans enjoyed watching him score goal after goal for Arsenal.

Luis Suarez to Arsenal? NO THANK YOU!
Michael Jeffares Column Well, what a welcome relief it has been to see Arsenal back in action. No more rumours, concentrating solely on performances on the field and we have won back to back games away from home. Sadly that is not reality, nor is it September. The rumour mill is now in full on […]
Thomas Vermaelen, Mikel Arteta; Do Arsenal really need a captain?
Weekly Education Over the past few seasons Arsenal have had many a short-term captain, but not a stable, long-term leader.
