As we have all seen, Arsenal’s Hale End academy graduates have made quite a significant contribution to the club’s first team over the past 18 months. Today I sat down with Jeorge Bird, who is a prominent follower of the Arsenal youth teams. Omari recently signed his first professional contract at the club, how highly […]
Almost directly on the back of losing our first league game at home since December, fans vented their frustrations far and wide on the glaring lack of quality and creativity in the final third. For me it was the worst performance under Arteta by a long stretch in a game that sent shivering reminders of […]
Welcome to the third and final part of the Emirates Era questions with answers from the GT writers team. Check out Part 1 and Part 2. 5) Who are your top three players from this era? MarbleHallsTV: Alexis, Cazorla, Aubameyang. Alex Burns: Sanchez, Fabregas, Özil. Matt Lorrimer-Roberts: Alexis, Fabregas, Toure. Mike McDonald: Cazorla, Fabregas, Diaby. […]
After last week’s fairly interesting part 1, today the GT contingent look at favourite matches and goals. 3) Which Emirates game is your favourite? MarbleHallsTV: Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham. This was better than the 5-2 of the following season for me since Adebayor got sent off and that did change the complexion of the game. This […]

As Arsenal extended their unbeaten run away from home to nine games, they left Burnley with a point for the third Premier League game in a row which left them 10th, lingering 10 points off the top four. I look at how we played today and whether we improved on recent displays. It was a […]
As Arsenal clinched the signing of Cedric Soares on deadline day, it meant Mikel Arteta’s first transfer window at the club had gone well, alongside the addition of Spanish centre back Pablo Mari. I look at what Cedric will bring, where he could alternatively play and what it means for some of the other players. […]
It has been a while since Gunners fans have been able to be enthused by their team but on a wet Monday night on the Dorset coast, a first half which showed all that Arteta is about, Arsenal set up an a mouthwatering encounter with Portsmouth in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The […]
Arsenal’s 0-3 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday brought most people back down to earth following the amazing 9 minute spell which saw the Gunners end a nine-match barren run to win 3-1 at West Ham. It also highlighted just how bad things are. As many of the older generation reflect on how current day […]
