With the news this week that Dennis Bergkamp will have a statue built in his honour outside of Arsenal’s Emirates stadium, I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to remember one of the Dutchman’s finest moments. The statue is undoubtedly deserved as Bergkamp is an Arsenal legend but also a true master of the […]

Jack Wilshere deserves better than Arsenal but his heart lies with them
In his post-match press conference following the Bayern Munich defeat, Jack Wilshere’s face said it all. Heartbroken at the fact he had given everything and his beloved Arsenal still couldn’t live with the Bavarians, all his answers were sensible and routine. He has obviously been very well-trained to deal with the media but the emotion which you […]
Three of the best Arsenal goals at White Hart Lane
It is no secret that this Sunday’s North London derby is a huge clash with many connotations. Not only has the rival between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur intensified over the past few years, due to one’s rise and the other’s decline, but a place in the Champions League is also on the line as well […]
Why Arsenal can win the battle of north London
It’s tight at the top, well at least for third place. With just four points separating Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal, the race between the London giants promises to be the most exciting action in the final third of the season. With Manchester United almost guaranteed the title, and neighbours City marooned in second, the three horse race for the final two […]
Have Spurs taken over Arsenal as North London’s finest?

The north London derby that could turn the tide
For years now, Tottenham Hotspur fans have been made to live in the shadow of Arsenal. While the Gunners may not have picked up a trophy in eight years, their continuous success on the pitch and regular Champions League participation has seen those at White Hart Lane glance envious eyes down Seven Sisters road at their north London […]
Sebastian Rode: The German to shape Arsenal’s midfield (Video)
If the defeat to Bayern Munich highlighted anything to Arsenal fans, it’s the need to bring in another midfielder. Granted, Jack Wilshere had an impressive performance regardless of the defeat, while Santi Cazorla struggled to stamp his creative authority in the encounter, but Mikel Arteta showcased his inability to grab a game by the scruff of the […]
Arsenal’s season boils down to one match, but not in Munich
On the 13th of March, around 10pm, it will be officially confirmed that for the 8th year in a row, Arsenal haven’t won a trophy. After their 1-3 defeat at home to German greats Bayern Munich, Arsenal would need more than a miracle to progress from the last 16 of the Champions League. Barring a Bavarian nightmare, and maybe […]
