I’m not going to talk about transfers, please revert to the very needed and classy Media Watch section on Arsenal’s website for that. Don’t be misled by the title then, the whole point of this blog is trying to understand how Arsène Wenger sees the Arsenal going into next season. We were all happy with […]

Wenger has finally built his perfect squad – but it could easily fall apart.
Rejoice, Gooners! Our beloved football Club is setting a new example in European football: improvement through stability, something we should all be proud of. Nevertheless, the price we paid to be where we are today seemed too high to many – no trophies for almost a decade, no title challenges, no glorious runs in Europe […]
If you had to watch the FA Cup Final on your own how would you feel?? Spare a thought for the enforced ‘Armchair Gooner.’
It’s Wednesday, Gooners. We should all have recovered from our wild celebrations following the FA Cup triumph, I believe; I have, anyway. I must admit it was easier for me, let me explain why. I enjoyed this win as much as you all did, I was impressed by our amazing performance and I […]
Learning from Sanogo: Why Walcott should start over Giroud in the FA Cup Final
We could say it was in the air: we were struggling to score, some players looked a bit tired and concerns started to emerge from the back of our brains. Then, with one week to go before the FA Cup Final and a very, very last chance to impress, every single player was outstanding – […]
Arsene and the team keep telling us they have matured – After the past week they need to prove it!
Those (very brave) of you who read my column every week already know this: I am one of the most optimistic Gooners you’ll come across. No matter what the result or the outcome of a game, I’ll find some positives. I was not really worried when we conceded defeat to Swansea at home, I saw […]
Arsenal fans like Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson have to investigate the ‘Mysterious Case of the Swansea defeat!’
We’re not allowed to lose one single game, are we? In the exact moment Kevin Friend blew his whistle to sanction a very surprising and unwelcome home defeat against Swansea, the Arsenal world started to crumble. I’m not saying our defeat didn’t really bother me, I reassure you: I am such a sore loser and […]
Thierry, do the Arsenal really need an entirely new spine?
Do you remember my blog from last week? I said Thierry Henry was right in his criticism of Olivier Giroud, I said I agreed with him about us not being able to win the title with (only) Olivier Giroud upfront. I didn’t change my mind since, however I’d like to point out that anything else […]
Was Thierry right about Olivier Giroud?
“I think Giroud is doing extremely well. But can you win the league with him? I wouldn’t think so”. “He does a job, and he does it ever so well, but you can’t win the league.” Thierry Henry, April 2015 These words hurt Olivier Giroud and many Gooners but not me. I agree with […]
Arsene to surprise Chelsea with a Mourinho like plan to nullify Hazard
Alexis Sanchez has been nominated for Barclay’s Premier League Player of the Year award, which is fully deserved. The Chilean’s first season at the Arsenal and in the Premier League has been fantastic: his obvious quality, combined with a very British willingness to dig in, immediately won our affection, not even mentioning the huge […]

Daily Mail – Don’t let the overwhelmingly positive Arsenal facts get in the way of a negative story!
“Don’t believe the truth”, say Oasis on the front cover of their sixth studio album. Numbers are often thrown out to defend this or that point of view, proving this or that opinion undoubtedly right. If football were an exact science, then I would have stopped watching it since a long time – or never had any interest […]
