I have been writing for a while now that Arteta might give some of the younger players with a point to prove at Arsenal, a chance in the Premier League. These players are playing with imagination and fluency, admittedly against weaker opposition in the Europa, whilst the experienced stalwarts are stuttering from bad to worse […]
(more…) Dave SeagerPassionate fifty-something Arsenal supporter who has been making the journey to N5 regularly since the early 1980s – although his first game was in 1976. Always passionate when talking about The Arsenal, Dave decided to send a guest blog to Gunnersphere in the summer of 2011 and has not stopped writing about the […]
There is little doubt that Arsenal have a creativity issue and a confidence crisis at present, with Sunday’s defeat at home to Wolves condemning The Gunners to their worst start to a Premier League campaign for decades. Arteta’s team sit 14th and any fans making predictions here at casinosuden.com might be forgiven for not predicting Arsenal […]
The last few league matches, certainly the home ones, will have left most Arsenal fans scratching their collective heads. These are predominantly the same players, and the same coach who finished the last campaign with a flourish beating many of the top sides right?

One was for our previous interview subject Charlie Patino and the other for an exciting Hale End graduate, central defender Zane Monlouis. Timely therefore for this week’s Youth Star catch up with resident expert John Williamson (@willow1860) to on Monlouis. […]
Even the most ardent of positive Arsenal fans have taken the home defeat to Leicester badly and the questioning of Arteta’s methods and tactics is on the increase. It would be fair to say the Spaniard’s honeymoon period during which he basked in FA Cup glory and to a degree the Community Shield triumph, is […]
So much has been written already about the Mesut Ozil situation, much of it, agenda driven and most of it speculation. I can promise no agenda in my own views other than a footballing one. I will say however that however much I applaud his work for charity, his defence of the oppressed and his […]
It seems there are an unlimited number of exciting youngsters at Arsenal at present. We all know that the actual number – and it is a numbers game – that make it into first teamers is small, but it does feel, with our current first team squad as it is, that the next few years […]
