For an experienced player to let his teammates and manager down with a silly and needless booking was disappointing. Obviously, it did not spoil the moment for the fans and the club, reaching their first Champions League Semi Final for 16 years, but with Jorginho injured the Ghanaian’s absence certainly gives Arteta a headache. […]
Is Nico Williams actually a Martinelli replacement? In recent transfer windows, Arsenal have been linked with supposed left-wing upgrades, and this is the case now as well. Failed bids for Mudryk and last summer allegedly Nico Williams certainly support the view of many, that Arteta wants a Martinelli upgrade. Indeed, our new transfer guru, Andrea […]
I don’t get annoyed at other supporters’ views on the Arsenal thsee days. We are a multi-generational broad church as Gooners, spanning the globe, so different perspectives are to be expected. However, if I were still the type to get annoyed, I would probably be mildly wound up by those who deem today’s semi-final as […]
Welcome to the Goonerverse! Consider this a portal into the poetic minds of regular, everyday Gooners like you and me! A place where there is no judgment – no good or bad – a place where you can let your inner poet off its leash for a while… Share in a poem what it means […]
Arsenal unsurprisingly have been linked with numerous central midfielders since narrowly missing out on the Premier League. For a while, there seemed to be a debate on whether the target to improve the first 11 should be a left sided 8, now Havertz has moved further forward, or a defensive midfielder now that Rice has […]
The long-awaited return of Arsenal’s Ghanaian central midfielder is imminent. In recent season’s Partey’s absences have been blamed for the Gunners missing out on major trophies, but this season many hope his attributes will bolster us on the run in. He may even be in the squad for our trip to Nottingham tomorrow. What is […]
No need to ask you all how you are feeling today but for me the first adjective that come to mind would be frustrated. Frustrated we dominated a good Liverpool side and lost. Frustrated we carved our several genuinely good scoring opportunities but in similar fashion to the recent match with West Ham, failed to […]
Far be it for me to ever put myself in the manager’s shoes, (as if we armchair pundits would ever be so bold), but if I was Mikel Arteta I would be in Leverkusen’s Bay Arena on Monday night. Not to say hello to Granit, as he will not be there, but to watch the […]
It has been a frustrating week for Arsenal supporters, which saw a second half capitulation at home to a Brighton team, who themselves had been humiliated by Everton only days previously. The weak display at the Emirates was hard to explain, coming after such a magnificent, robust, and essentially strong outing at St James, only […]
As a community, we are undoubtedly all feeling wounded, raw and a tad sorry for ourselves right now, which is completely understandable. However, in the despondency it is not so hard to find reasons for huge positivity. It has been a wonderful season and we can all trot out the obvious response to recent decline […]
