Much has been written about our defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, the way we surrendered to Pep Guardiola’s men and the team picked-up by Arsène Wenger; of course, it looked very odd to see Alexandre Lacazette benched in favour of Alex Iwobi and even more bizarre to see Francis Coquelin used as […]
This comes from my heart, Gooners: Arsenal Twitter deserves to be shut down. Some of you might have noticed that I’ve been really quiet and didn’t write anything for some time, as well as not interacting much – if at all – on social media; I’m not protesting, boycotting or anything like that, I’m just […]
Whether he plays or not, Mesut Özil seems destined to receive a lot of stick from those who should support him – or at least from a part of them. We all know the story, the German is lazy and not suited to our game and to the Premier League, he is a luxury player […]
Hello Gooners. How does it feel to see Tony Pulis fuming over yet another loss at the Emirates Stadium? More than Mr. Baseball Cap’s moaning and more than the win against West Brom itself, what really gave me a wonderful feeling was watching Alexandre Lacazette: the Frenchman has been outstanding and the quality of his […]
Our aim should be to win the Europa League. End of it. I can’t understand why it is even a debate, we’re not in the position to snub a European competition to save energies for a bigger prize – i.e. the league – since the competition for the Premier League top spot is the fiercest […]
Brilliantly inspired by Dave’s blog about Jack Wilshere (by the way: it’s not Wiltshere, it’s not Wilshire, it’s Wilshere. The number of times his name is misspelled is appalling), I started thinking about how our former academy gem could actually re-build his career at the Arsenal. Our man has quite some way to go after […]
“Yes, I think in the future you will see that more and more. Players going to the end of their contracts. Why? Because transfers become so high, even for normal players, that you will see more and more players going to the end of their contract because nobody will want to pay the amount of […]
£ 887.4m EIGHTHUNDREDSEIGHTYSEVENMILLIONS-AND-A-HALF. Repeat it out loud, do it several times. Again and again. This is the amount of money spent by Premier League clubs this summer, so far. Considering that today it’s July, 20th and there’s still over a month to go before the transfer window shuts down, this amount could even double when […]
Australia here we come! A group of 25 players has been selected to take part to the usual increase-your-commercial-revenues summer tour – to Australia, this year. We started with three consecutive Far East tours from 2011 onwards, which saw the Arsenal playing games in Malaysia, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam (remember the Running […]
Welcome to the Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette! Finally, we’ve got a striker who can finish, move around the box, link with teammates and – last but not least – take penalties. It took a lot of time to finally find our man, with multiple high-profile targets – such as Luis Suárez and Gonzalo Higuaín – gone […]
