The truth is out there A number of so called Gooners out there have got very despondent with Monday night’s defeat and, bizarrely, some have questioned Mikel’s ability as a coach and his ability to attract big name players. To all of these naysayers I simply say….. Jog On !!! Mikel inherited a broken ship, […]
If we get our timing right this article should be published on the occasion of our next Arsenal Youth Star’s 18th Birthday. (Happy Birthday!) Of course, we have had many special players younger than 18 grace the Arsenal first team and one such individual – Bukayo Saka – also broke through on the left wing, […]
Bernd Leno will never win, will he? Ever since Emiliano Martínez was sold to Aston Villa, the German has been the primary target of attention for all Gooners who think the Argentine should have stayed.Now, it’s perfectly fine to think that we should have kept Emiliano Martínez over Bernd Leno but the decision was made […]
Our record signing, Nicolas Pepe, had an OK season in 19/20. He contributed well in the FA Cup Final and scored some important goals at times. The free-kicks vs. Vitoria Guimaraes, at home vs. Man United, and Brighton away (even though we lost) show our quality. But he was inconsistent and perhaps given […]
A Window to the Future Saturday at 5pm I sat down to make a coaching plan based on what I’d just seen. My son’s team had just been beaten 4-1 and I’d been asked to guest coach a session this Thursday. When deciding what to teach I always try to analyze what the root of […]
There are moments that propel you to local folklore and turn you into a hero. Not that Jordan Nobbs needed any of that, having been a cornerstone for the Arsenal team for a decade already, but when she lobbed the ball over Rebecca Spencer from 25 yards out, the legendary status became even more legendary […]
So, it’s back to Anfield for us then. This is a ground with some very mixed fortunes in our history. Anfield 89 stands out, of course. Some of our best league wins in the Wenger-winning period were at Anfield – Pires’s curlers were grand, as was Henry skinning his former Sky pundit buddy Carragher in […]
With Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the campaign continuing on Wednesday I have been asked to pen a few thoughts for the Fan Column on, man of the hour, Eddie Nketiah. Of course, he has been the talk of Arsenal social media for his goal bit also his apparent disillusionment at Pepe for not squaring earlier, […]
How do you solve a problem like Reiss Nelson? The young Englishman was one of the most exciting talents coming through the academy in years. While the first team was going through a bit of transition the fans were screaming out for one of their own to lift spirits and hopes. A massive buzz was […]
Writing after the Leicester League Cup, it’s been three wins in three in all comps, and hopefully, we can avoid another Anfield-based debasement. With our good friends being reunited with Bale, Chelsea spending like no tomorrow, and United choking over getting Sancho, it’s clear that there is competition for the top four this […]
