With the ink drying on Arsene Wenger’s new two year deal, it matters little which side of the fence you were. Whether you were a staunch ‘Wenger Out’ brigadier, paying for planes armed with messages or perhaps you simply felt that time for the manager had run its natural course and a change was […]

‘If Ox is passed fit he starts centrally over Ramsey’ – Who’d have thought it heh? #WBAvAFC
Howdy. It’s the West Bromwich Albion enigma the Gunners have to crack today and, taking into account our poor recent form and the fact Pulis is in charge of the Baggies, this is not going to be a walk in the park. Team news update Arsene Wenger faces an unenviable task of shaking the current […]
Boys to Men: is Arsenal’s Academy Wenger’s Greatest Parting Gift?
A banter era line up winning us a game 5-0, yes that is the reality of supporting the Arsenal in 2017 and how happy we all are that this is the case. Three double-barrelled young guns in the midfield slots combined with two returning heroes on the wings and an oft forgotten/neglected Spaniard in the […]
Forget SAS, The Arsenal Future might be WAW – Saints 0 – Arsenal 5
When Arsenal’s squad was announced I had only one thing to say: this is either a masterstroke and we’ll win convincingly, or it’s a huge mistake and we’ll screw up completely.

Time to finish the year in style starting at Villa before investing in a midfielder ASAP in January
We travel to Villa Park to take on Remi Garde’s Aston Villa and, needless to say, three points is the acceptable result.

Is there a future for Santi in the holding role?
After a sensational performance from Santi Cazorla sitting deeper in midfield on the weekend it’s fair to say he looked quite accomplished in that role and not for the first time this season; Galatasaray at home springs to mind. With Mesut Ozil best utilised in the No. 10 role there really could be a great […]

Arsenal to play new 4312 in 2014/15 to get best from Wilshere, Ozil and Walcott
All entertaining sides have a spine of core players on which the team bases it’s effectiveness on. The Invincibles and Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona side had that. Its also a trait we saw in Jurgen Klopp’s Dortmund side who secured back to back Bundesliga success. Now it all seems to be coming together for Arsenal, who […]
