Given the nationality of our head coach, Mr.Emery, I wanted to pick out some of the most noted Spanish players in our club’s history. Denis Suarez, whilst only a loan signing, also adds to the Spanish vibe we have currently. So who else from Spain has either helped us or even hindered us, over the […]
Arsenal 2-0 Southampton – Premier League Review Saints decanonised and beaten at the Emirates….. This was a return to a fluent Arsenal, in large part. After the comfortable win and clean sheet in the Europa League, Southampton offered some fight, but not enough to seriously trouble us. The starting line-up featured […]
Arsenal 3-0 BATE Borisov – Europa League Round of 16 Second Leg Review (Agg. 3-1) After last week’s debacle, we comfortably progressed to the next round after a good win vs. BATE at home. I’m left thinking “how the hell did we lose to them last week?!” I attended in person, with some […]
Transfer talk – part 2 OK, so the transfer window has shut, of course. But then who is really “Arsenal quality” if any such thing can be discerned? Who can go, and who can actually come in? And is it really true that Emery doesn’t have a defined style? In part 1, I analysed […]
The Herbert Chapman derby, as it were, ended in an Arsenal win. The game perhaps wasn’t the best, but I’m sure Mr Chapman is looking down and happy to see both of his prodigy performing in the top division. His Yorkshire former club is certainly going down this season – though on this showing they […]
Whilst our good friends are in third place, I think it’s unrealistic that they will win the league. This isn’t just rivalry talking but they’re not as good as Liverpool and City.

Emery defence – first calling out… Don’t get me wrong. I’m firmly Emery In. But then the latest defeat to Manchester United showed how a critical point in our side is NOT being corrected by “el jefe”, Mr. Emery. Now, yes, Emery has a number of issues to solve. And the additions of some […]
Deloitte Arsenal – cause for concern but a way forward can be clear The Deloitte Money League, an annual report on global football clubs’ revenues, was released in January. It’s a mix of projections and actual accounts from clubs, and used to show how revenues impact on performance relative to others. As a […]
I don’t live far from Luton, but a recent announcement concerning Luton Town FC made me think. This is part arose due to their club ownership, which has seen it rise from the Conference to the verge of the Championship. Yes, this is an Arsenal blog, but then we have our issues and thoughts towards […]
Arsenal News Round-up: 23rd Jan 2019 Mislintat He is going – is it a serious blow? This isn’t a contrarian view for the hell of it. But then this entire situation is complex for sure. There are reports, as of Thursday, that Emery says there is no problem. Gab Marcotti, the respected Italian/American writer […]
