Welcome to the Gunners Town Transfer WhizzQuiz*. (This shouldn’t take more than a minute. If it does, you may be taking all of this too seriously… Go walk a dog. Ride a bike. Rob a bank!) Enjoy! *Yes, I know it’s more of a survey than a quiz… Sosumi. #UTA invinciblogI was eleven-and-a-half. My family […]
Important note: I have written this article back in May and opted not to publish it then. The reason for this was because at the last possible minute I found out the manner in which Flamini left Arsenal in 2008 – by allowing his contract to run out and seeking pastures new and more glorious […]
With the pre season preparations well under way and the new season approaching quickly it is a good time to assess which Arsenal youngsters could make an impact in the next year. Last season saw the emergence of Hector Bellerin as a first team regular after fellow right back Mathieu Debuchy suffered two long-term injuries […]
Well, Arsène Wenger doesn’t seem to be very busy these days; a non-newsflash which could easily create anxiety and worry but instead of sending me straight to a complete meltdown, actually does generate some anticipation and expectation – which are totally unjustified. When I see the man avoiding questions about transfers or drop enigmatic replies, […]
Some tweets showed up on my timeline yesterday comparing Benzema’s goals scored/matches played versus Giroud over the last few years. The premise for the tweet was apparently someone saying Benzema at €40m was steep and that the player wasn’t really better than Giroud. The numbers shared actually gave that impression.

No Jack, Rambo or Giroud? My ideal starting 11 for 2015/16 Think I can speak for the general population of Arsenal fans that I am genuinely optimistic about the team going in to the 2015/16 season. The squad is the finest it’s arguably been in my lifetime – not even the Invincible’s had the quality […]

In this blog, I’ll be focusing on Manchester City. Of course, all of this […]
Singapore select XI We expected to beat them and we did. It was also by a score that reflected the difference in the teams and the occasion. I said last week that I was looking forward to watching Akpom and he didn’t disappoint. Three goals is also a good way to get the managers attention. […]
These are not meant to be the top Arsenal moments but what I believe gave the best Arsenal theatre on TV. Please feel free to disagree & comment with your TV greats: 10 – ‘He may be cast in bronze, but he’s still capable of golden moments’ 9 – The Battle at Old […]
My memories of Per Mertesacker’s time at Arsenal are certainly a mixed bag. At times I have used the old cliché ‘a submarine could turn faster’ and crucified our lanky German for being slow, which in all fairness is not really his fault. There are also memories of masterclasses in defensive positioning and leadership combined […]
