Stoke City emerged as trailblazers in the Premier League by exploiting the fine margins and becoming renowned at set-piece efficiency. Under the tutelage of Tony Pulis, Stoke became a powerhouse in terms of long throw-ins, free kicks, and corners, studying their opponents’ defensive setups and taking advantage of their weaknesses. They maximized their tallest players’ […]
I am extremely proud of my latest venture – “Welcome to the Goonerverse”. It is available to order now, and I certainly hope many Arsenal fans will invest some hard-earned pennies to obtain a copy. However, I wanted to use this platform to explain why I am so pleased with this book. Origins The journey […]
The Emirates Stadium was all prepared for a Premier League blockbuster on Saturday, March 16th, 2024, as Arsenal was to welcome Chelsea in a match pulsating with tension and consequence. Chelsea’s last gasp victory over Leeds in the FA Cup, however, has forced the fixture to be rescheduled. Under the tactical vision of Mikel Arteta, […]
It can be tough seeing Arsenal players leave. Not always… there are definitely players who overstay their welcome – [INSERT NAME HERE] – but occasionally a player has wormed his way into your heart, for whatever reason, and saying goodbye can be tough.

An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Sunday morning didn’t start well. Max knows a lot about football but doesn’t understand that if Jordan Pickford would’ve shuffled his feet before Gundogan’s free kick, then maybe he could’ve saved it. We had one of those arguments where you just realize that winning the argument is […]
Qatar? Why?? Let me introduce myself. My name is Peter Le Beau, I have been an Arsenal supporter since 1958 and a season ticket holder for over thirty years. Five generations of my family have supported Arsenal stretching back to my paternal grandfather who watched them play in Woolwich. I’ve written for the Gooner […]
With the Arsenal fraternity still basking in the exhilarating football played by their team on Saturday, there are so many aspects to dissect. However, I have chosen a subject that is still – even now – dividing the fanbase: The Renaissance of Granit Xhaka. I try not to have favourites in the squad, but it […]
