With the biggest football show on earth fast approaching and Arsenal top of the league, it is logical to expect several of our players to be gracing the world stage in November. It is always and exciting time, with the pre-tournament friendlies completed and punters will be shopping around for the best odds for the […]
It would be fair to say, justifiably or otherwise that Gabriel’s form at left centre back for Arsenal, has been under the microscope of late. Personally, I see the criticism the Brazilian has received as unfair, but what it has highlighted is that unlike on the right of the defence there is no natural cover. […]
THE North London Derby is unlike any match and as any Gooner will tell you the anticipation felt ahead of the game is unique. There is excitement of course but it is more than tempered by a nervous energy which makes the build-up almost painful. It is a cliche to say that form goes out […]
It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fanbase in general showed a lack of faith and a fair amount of concern at the end of the Transfer Window. The worries concentrated around a lack of depth in central midfield and also on whether the squad had cover to rest and rotate an over […]

However, I have chosen a subject that is still – even now – dividing the fanbase: The Renaissance of Granit Xhaka. I try not to have favourites in the squad, but it […]
With the media praising Arsenal’s early transfer business and with the obvious excitement over the addition of Gabriel Jesus, in particular, there will undoubtedly be pressure applied on Mikel Arteta. As an ardent supporter of our cool Spanish manager, when I consider this, I have no issue with it. Because Arteta has, over several transfer […]
As I think I mentioned in my last column on the potential purchase of Raphinha, I was not against the signing but did not see it as a priority. However, as many reminded me on social media, with 5 substitutions allowed in the coming campaign and with the additional games that the Europa League will […]
Eddie Nketiah – Arsenal Star, Black Star? As per usual, the Arsenal faithful, are divided on the latest Gunner news, that Eddie Nketiah looks set to change his mind, after a recent successful run in the team, and accept a new deal at the club.
