It has certainly been a season for upheaval for Arsenal and although the decision to sack Unai Emery can be viewed as somewhat harsh, the recent evidence under his replacement is starting to look rather impressive. That’s because, under the stewardship of Mikel Arteta, the Gunners seem to be firing once again and although this […]
The world has been rocked by the Coronavirus pandemic. What began as news of a new virus in China has turned into a massive crisis, the like of which has rarely been seen in peace time. It has certainly affected the gambling industry as sporting event after sporting event has been suspended. How have they […]
In today’s transfer rumours Arsenal, whilst linked to Chris Smalling quite heavily, have also been linked with two midfielders, both playing their trade in La Liga. Whenever, or if ever the 2019/20 season does draw to a close, there seems little doubt we will see considerable movement in and out of North London. In one […]
TURNING THE TABLES CAMDEN TOWN BREWERY AND ARSENAL CREATE FEMALE FOOSBALL TABLE TO ENCOURAGE GENDER EQUALITY IN PUBS MORE than half (53%) of Brits think that women’s football is underrepresented in UK pubs and bars. Launching in time for International Women’s Day, as the official beer partner of Arsenal FC Camden Town Brewery is raising awareness […]
This feels different Positives, Needs and Hopes I respect the world of football stats but don’t search them out. There is something in me that resists stats and considers them somewhat unnecessary even though many are interesting and revealing. I far prefer basing my judgments on feeling.

Let’s go back in time, it’s the FA Cup Final 2014 in the first ten minutes Hull City have just scored twice from back to back corners. Wherever you were watching (I happened to be at the Emirates screening) it would have been shock and possibly silent. If you were at Wembley; maybe some half-hearted […]
Sometimes, the fans are right Positives, Needs and Hopes Over the years I’ve wavered as to how I feel about how the impatient modern culture has infected football and fans in particular. I find it true that most people talk in extremes. Arsenal were brilliant. Arsenal are awful. Extreme views are much like sweeping statements, […]
With Unai Emery gone, at least caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg knows what a winning Arsenal team looks like. The Swede made over 200 appearances for the Gunners in a nine-year spell at the club and was part of the ‘Invincibles’ team that won the Premier League title without losing a match in the 2003-04 season. […]
Is the Europa League the Best Route Into the Champions League for the Gunners? It hasn’t been the ideal start to the season for the Gunners, and already the walls seem to be closing in on Unai Emery. His position as the manager at the Emirates is looking weaker with every passing week at present. […]
At the start of the season, I felt like Matt Lorrimer-Roberts, as he says in his excellent article, and I was prepared not to criticise Emery for this season to give him time to work out the make – up of his team. I admire Matt`s fair mindedness and I note that he is now […]
