From Seaman to Mavropanos (and most of those in between) Between 12th October 1996 and 13th May 2018, 222 players played under Wenger’s tutorage and I thought I would write (with inspiration from Billy Joel’s ‘We didn’t start the fire’, a ditty to commemorate some of those who have passed his way. Seaman, […]
**** Newsflash **** Arsenal’s new coach to be announced imminently!!!! I met my mate down the pub last night and he said that he was told by his step brother’s second cousin’s dog sitter’s milkman’s ex-wife, that Arteta will definitely be the next Arsenal manager. His source said that the board felt that after […]
Arsenal 17/18 season review So we finished 6th. Our most successful manager ever has left. And we’ve got some world-class players in. But how did we do? And what areas need to be improved, or sustained? Let’s see, shall we? GK/Defence Cech – 4 – Has declined and made numerous mistakes. It […]
I asked four supporters four questions on what they would do this summer, from transfers to managerial appointments. First up is Jamie Brundle: 1) As we all know, someone new will grace the Emirates dugout from next season, who do you want as the next manager? – Hopefully we get Allegri, but I feel […]
For the past 22 years, Arsenal like any other team in the world had some pre-season challenges to tackle while awaiting the start of the regular season. However, amongst all these challenges, there is one challenge the team never faced for the past 22 years i.e. searching for a new manager. Arsenal is sailing in […]
As we are heading into a decisive and exciting new chapter at Arsenal Football Club it’s no surprise that the upcoming transfer window is an indicator for what the potential new manager has in mind and what the future structure of the club will look like. With Sven Mislintat approaching his first summer transfer window […]
Around this time last year, it’s said that prior to a home game in 16/17, our CEO Ivan Gazidis, mentioned we needed a catalyst for change. He was, after a poor transfer window and early 17/18 start, ridiculed for this assertion. However, is he now having the last laugh? Maybe. Wenger has gone. New players […]
We now appear to be on the cusp of the Mikel Arteta era. Though the appointment of the Spaniard has not been confirmed, rumour is gathering pace aplenty. Of course, it may all be a smokescreen for a ‘bigger’ name, however unlikely that is increasingly looking. Odds with major bookies have gone from 20/1 last […]
Where were you when Wenger left? For all Gooners, I guess it was a seismic moment when we heard that we left. It’s like when US President JFK died. For many years afterwards, people often used to recall where they were when they heard he was assassinated. My JFK moment involved aid from a […]
If we are to believe all the rumours about the race to replace our departing Manager, the club have narrowed it down to Allegri and Arteta. It would be fair to say that if you were led to believe that Allegri was the frontrunner and ready for a new managerial challenge, which he may well […]
