Welcome to the Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette! Finally, we’ve got a striker who can finish, move around the box, link with teammates and – last but not least – take penalties. It took a lot of time to finally find our man, with multiple high-profile targets – such as Luis Suárez and Gonzalo Higuaín – gone […]
“This is a strong group of players and with some additions we can be even more successful.” Arsène Wenger, 31st of May 2017 Well, I think it is not. I’m sorry but I don’t believe the current group can really challenge Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City to the Premier League title. I won’t comment on this […]
I am sure you heard it, too: AS Roma legend Francesco Totti just retired after over 20 years at the Club. Although I admire his soft touch, amazing vision and technical ability, he’s not one of those players who made me dream; I will be forever grateful for the paneka spot-kick against Holland during the […]
Back from holidays, back to business. It felt rather strange not to watch the FA Cup final against Chelsea as I was travelling, I tried not to think about it but I knew it was mission impossible, so I nervously waited for a fellow Gooner’s phone call to find out that we actually won it […]
Europa League it is, then. I know we are still in the race for a place in the top four but it’s extremely unlikely that either Liverpool or Manchester City will drop points in the final games, so the sooner we accept this demotion the better we will deal with it. I am not exactly […]
Wembleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! What an uplifting feeling it is to play another FA Cup final in May, the third in the last four years. It’s been fantastic to see Rob Holding handle his Wembley debut with such composure, to see Gabriel offering us his best Martin Keown impression, to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put in a cherry of […]
Hello Gooners, I hope you are satisfied with the win at the Riverside Stadium, although the performance wasn’t as convincing as it should have been. There’s been a lot of talk about Arsène Wenger’s decision to play three centre-halves and two wing-backs, a lot of people were surprised by this sudden change and so was […]
When did we stop playing Alexis up front? Why did we? I was asking these questions to myself and couldn’t really find any answer to that, I hope you can help me. My weekly column is all about this: my attempt to deviate your attention from the toxicity surrounding our Club, these days. I was […]
Will he stay or will he go? Not sure about you, but I’m really sick of Arsène Wenger’s new contract saga and, for one, found absolutely clumsy – at best – and disrespectful what he said post-West Brom, when he claimed he made a decision and “we will know soon. Very soon.” This is not […]
Hi Gooners! This week’s column has been inspired by two superb articles written by Dave Seager, featured on Football London: the former was an inspired analysis of how Cesc Fàbregas was a more influential figure at the Arsenal than Mesut Özil – although younger and playing with less-convincing teammates – while the second is a […]
