The Truth about Cedric Soares On the back of an oddly timed, presumably Adidas promoted, announcement of his permanent signing I wanted to get a few things off my chest about Cedric Soares. Let me preface this all by saying I want Bellerin to get back to his best, improve on that under Arteta and […]
. The Arsenal fans went mad with rage, they are pulling out their hair The Player we all loved (only heard of last week) may be going elsewhere Hold on he is on a plane, no he is in a car, but on which side is he seated And is that a Flanders or Hertfordshire […]
As a supporter I have been quite disturbed by the widespread media ‘knowledge’ that Ainsley Maitland-Niles is allegedly one of the players Arteta is willing to sacrifice to fund his rebuild at Arsenal. The stories emerged a matter of days after the Spaniard had selected the player ahead of Saka or Kolasinac at left wing […]
Surely, even in modern football, it can be about tradition, history, previous glory and a desire to return to those times. Can’t it? Please tell me it can, or the game truly has gone to hell in a hand cart, as the old saying goes. Now is such a time for the new dynamic duo […]
I was asked to offer a keep, loan or sell assessment for this week’s Sun Football column With their permission I am reproducing here with a less outrageous title 🙂 With Arsenal’s season concluded and the FA Cup, on the bag the club and of course the fan’s attention will turn to the transfer window.

Even before the FA Cup Final this weekend, and therefore before Arsenal’s season is over and their European football fate determined, the transfer gossip is rife. Today it is mostly around the news that the club have an option to extend Aubameyang’s stay but may not exercise it. However, there is also (as there is […]
We arrive, belatedly, at the last match of an ultimately woeful season for a team of Arsenal’s stature. A season that has seen the usually stable club have three different first team coaches ends with the Gunners, can only finish 8th if they beat relegation threatened Watford on Sunday. Whatever happens the 2019/20 will be […]
I finished yesterday’s newspaper column, discussing what Arteta needs to revert to 433 next season, with an off-the-cuff suggestion of Said Benrahma.
