I read two excellent articles after Saturday’s disappointing loss at Villa Park, both looking at Arsenal’s striker issues in slightly different ways. One described it as ‘our penalty box problem’. Both Lacazette and Aubameyang are top strikers with differing attributes, indeed the Arsenal captain, is arguably world class. However, the question raised is whether either, […]
In the days after the window closes for most fans will be mentally assessing how the club performed in the January Transfer Window. On the 2nd February 2021 are we better equipped to build on the positive momentum, the team’s form since Christmas has created? Here is a 10-point summary with the positives and negatives: […]
As Arsenal prepare for their second visit to St Mary’s in 3 days, the fanbase will be hoping that Arteta reverts to the team that had been winning in the Premier League. There has been a collective annoyance that the manager’s team selection for Saturday’s FA Cup Fourth Round tie, rather let his team open […]
It would be fair to say that Arsenal fans are considerably more ‘glass half full’ than they were at the start of this winter transfer window, but they will still be looking to the club to add quality to the squad from the stronger position in which they now find themselves. Of course, having kept […]
Eddie Nketiah has become a topic of conversation among the Arsenal support base and there seems to be two mean reasons for young English striker being on the agenda.

It is ‘that’ time of year again, crazy season, the January Transfer Window. Because of the unusual end to last season and the consequent later summer window we find ourselves back here swiftly. The mid-season opportunity to strengthen is of course, always trickier for clubs, with value harder to find and for Arsenal, Edu and […]
Below is my full submission to Sun Digital in which I spoke about the enthusiasm and exuberance of youth rubbing off on Arsenal’s more senior players in the Chelsea match. I was delighted therefore Arteta dis stick with the Young Guns last night…. It’s Tuesday 29th December and we Arsenal fans are genuinely excited about […]
It certainly makes a change to be writing about Arsenal in a positive frame of mind, rather than either a wholly negative, or at best hopeful one. Yesterday felt, to me at least, like a win that could have come earlier, were it not for indiscipline, but a performance that was long overdue. There have […]
2020 has been a year most will wish to see the back of, for obvious reasons, and at present Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal players, and fans, for more footballing ones. However, we must not forget that the elongated and disrupted 2019/20 season has offered us some highlights this calendar year. After all, the year saw […]
. I had no intention of posting this or any personal poem on here to be honest but circumstances have prompted me to do so. I am well aware that since losing my son, Arsenal and my support of them, has an entirely different context. I am also aware that is only me, and virtually […]
