After a pair of impressive performances, Alex Iwobi is forcing Unai Emery to consider him for Arsenal’s starting eleven.

He’s a podcaster, writer and visual storyteller covering Arsenal, English football and the world around him.
The close friendship between happiness and frustration Positives, Needs and Hopes. I am so happy that we are winning the games that we do not necessarily deserve to. I am frustrated that we are winning but not playing particularly well. Happy, frustrated. Frustrated or happy? I have decided…I am 63% happy and 37% frustrated 😆 […]
Arsenal 2-0 Watford – review We had the “cojones” today. We are neighbours in some senses. Our training grounds are adjacent, and Hertfordshire (their home county) borders Greater London. We also have achieved success via style in the past – like Barnes and Blissett in the past for them. Or Wenger for us. […]
Ramsey is leaving? Is there a reason why the club withdrew its offer? I’m not sure what to think of this Ramsey situation. I have several thoughts on this issue, which transcend a number of areas. But I’m not really bothered about Ramsey going. It’s not to say I don’t rate him. I […]
Too easy and too difficult… Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was an Everton fan… How on earth did we not win?!?! Arsenal were not good in any of their outfield departments, there to be taken and we were good but our final third choices kept us from a big win. If I were an […]
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
There has been much written in the aftermath of the opening weekend defeat in Emery’s first competitive match. I have read much of it, listened to more and even found myself wholly unready to talk about what went wrong on the radio on Monday. It is difficult because I am certain the vast majority of […]
I have read the current contributions by various writers and I have gleaned a few of their conclusions, which I find interesting. The first and somewhat disappointing one is that sections of the crowd were already verbally abusive on the first match of the season and many left early. It is particularly disappointing because it […]
O Captain, My Captain Unai named his ‘Captains’ yesterday and to be fair, the names did not come as a surprise. “The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment. After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.” […]
If Ramsey leaves, can it hurt Arsenal? Aaron Ramsey is a player whom I like a lot. Yes, he scored two FA Cup final winners for us, against Hull City and Chelsea respectively. However, he is yet to sign a new contract, and could well leave us. Even as a well-liked player amongst us, […]
