The January transfer window ended roughly a week more ago. But how are our players actually doing? Which have been the bright stars and who have been the duds? In summer 2019, Arsenal signed David Luiz from Chelsea, Nicolas Pepe from Lille, Kieran Tierney from Celtic and Gabrielle Martinelli from Ituano Futebol Clube and Dani […]
I’m writing this prior to the Burnley game, but I must say I’m pleased with Arteta’s work thus far. Yes, we’re still drawing games, but then I feel there are some building blocks of getting a top side. All top sides have a mixture of the following: Technical ability Mental desire Structural shape and discipline […]
This is our 13th draw this season, and it’s not looking good really. We’re only seven points above the drop, and we need to do better. Since Burnley joined the Premier League, we hadn’t lost to them. And this was the first time that we hadn’t beaten them since their entry in 2016. […]
So… after links to Boateng, Lemar (deja vu??) and rumours of Auba leaving, we finally ended up with Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari as loaned defenders. Soares has PL experience with Southampton and won the Euros with Portugal and the GOAT (Ronaldo) in 2016. Pablo Mari was in the recent CWC final with Liverpool, […]
We’re all eagerly awaiting top players in the window. We need players. Don’t get me wrong. But what players will we get? More to the point, the current window will see us not get the players we need. This may seem pessimistic – but whilst we do need top players we won’t necessarily […]

Arsenal and Chelsea, as the kings of the capital city, played another intriguing game here. And like in Azerbaijan, we came up second best again. And yes, kings of the capital city, since they’ve both won major trophies in recent history – unlike a certain football club in the Borough of Haringey. Chelsea -as they did […]
“Headphones” – the wearing of such evades Arsenal’s true issues. It was interesting to see some points made by the Arsenal Supporters Alliance the other day. In their welcome to new head coach, Mikel Arteta, they were offering suggestions going forward, specifically on player conduct. Some points were that players shouldn’t wear […]
2019 is nearly over, though at the time of writing there are some games vs. Bournemouth and Chelsea to play yet. So as this year is coming to an end, which were the best and worst points of 2019? What were the games, players and moments, which caught our eye, whether good or […]
Following news reports in several media, it seems Mikel Arteta is due to become our new head coach. At the time of writing (Thursday), a press conference is to be held tomorrow (Friday), where he will seemingly be announced as the club’s new head coach. He was in the running following Wenger’s departure, […]
