It’s no secret that Arsenal’s defence has come under much scrutiny in recent seasons, but their reported interest in Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka highlights the Gunners are looking at the right calibre of player at least. The 21-year-old has been a revelation since he made the first-team at Selhurst Park, and interest is expected […]

Sad Truth: The ‘Leader’ Arsenal Seeks May Not Even Exist
During the thrashing at Bayern, a commentator remarked on the lack of leadership in the Arsenal squad – something we’re all well familiar with – as he rightly pointed out there was no one on the field who was willing to calm the players down or ensure Arsenal maintained their structure; which they had done […]
The Arsenal Fan Reaction Pendulum – It Can Go Either Way for the Gunners
It’s been an awful end to the week for any Gooner. Some are angry, some are sad, very few must still be positive; but, as much as our feelings towards the scheme of things do matter, I can’t imagine how the players and the manager feel and that’s what really matters at this time. Cech […]
The Mesut Ozil Loyalty Conundrum – More Questions than Answers
According to the Telegraph, Ozil has been quoted by Kicker magazine in Germany saying “I feel very, very good with Arsenal and have shown my willingness to extend my contract with the club. The fans want me to stay. Now it’s down to the club. The club know that I’m here above all because of […]
The State Arsenal are in is the State most clubs would love to be in – Don’t Panic
Unfortunately, life at work has been a little slow for the last couple of weeks for me; unfortunate because temptation got the better of me and I opened up Twitter – a platform I’ve avoided majorly for the best part of almost 10 months! Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, nothing has really changed: Wenger in, Wenger out! […]
Alexis, Coq and Elneny come through Unscathed & Iwobi continues to impress! – #FACupAFC2BFC1
Another Arsenal win in the bag, another sigh of relief at the final whistle. It wasn’t the most convincing win, nor was it the most unconvincing either. There were moments of Arsenal possession and domination whilst creating some chances; there was some purpose in the Gunners’ play till the first goal. Burnley’s equalizer was, of […]
Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems? Arsenal’s Wage Structure may not be the Worst Thing in the World!
Adebayor is back in the Premier League having recently signed for Crystal Palace. I came across a tweet that took a dig at the player’s lack of loyalty and referring to him as a mercenary. Some time ago, I may have shared that sentiment; but, the Togolese forward’s letter of warning – posted some time […]
Battlers or Bottlers? 2 points lost or 1 point gained?
I’ve been in a situation where I have not been able to watch the Arsenal play for almost two months, imagine that! I’ve been living off highlights – the next morning at work – and blog posts. My situation doesn’t seem to be on the verge of improving any time soon and considering it was […]
Europe or Bust! It’s More Than Just Glory We’re Talking About…It’s Global Brand
Have you ever had that moment in your life where it takes an incident – big or small – to wake up a dormant belief within you? This happened to me last week. I was walking down the street and saw a few kids, hardly between 8-10 years of age, hanging around outside their apartment […]
Wenger’s Manager of the Month using Plan’s A, B and even C as The Gunners find a way to win ugly
It feels like ages since I last wrote, I actually had to check the link to my column to verify this feeling! It turns out I’m right, it’s been over a month since I last wrote about the Gunners although I recently wrote about what I have learned from Wenger on a personal level – […]
