Hello there. Just some musings of the Arsenal news scape, in this present pandemic-induced lockdown: No to Willian Look – Willian is a good player. He is a continental champion for his country, Brazil, due to winning the last Copa America. He has won many trophies with Chelsea. He is a pacey and technically […]
Arsenal come close to signing Brazilian Wonder Kid – Interview with @arsenal_brasil Arsenal were reported to be on the verge of a major signing from Flamengo, as reported in the Sun by Sam Morgan. The story is around two weeks old and it looks as if Edu’s role at the club as Technical Director was […]
I have seen a few comments suggesting an attempt to re-sign Aaron Ramsey, given his lack success or opportunity at Juventus. I have also seen us being linked to a move for Doucoure from Watford this summer. I am not sure whether either are likely given one is barely fit for more than half a […]
New Arsenal 1st Team COACH? (Thanks to Getty Images) It now seems that our ex-skipper and the man who lead us to our first trophy in nine years in 2014 will be our new COACH and I for one am quite excited at the prospect. I have a soft spot for the man I […]

I agree with Dave`s analysis of the Watford match. In contrast, against Everton, I regretfully strongly disagreed with Marble Halls preview and particularly his selection for the game as he suggested Guendouzi and Elneny should play.
