I finished yesterday’s newspaper column, discussing what Arteta needs to revert to 433 next season, with an off-the-cuff suggestion of Said Benrahma. The reason I would describe the suggestion as off-the-cuff, or left field is because the article was considering the creative central player Arsenal need, and the Algerian, predominantly plays on the wing for […]
I was fascinated to pop in and out of lively social media debates on Monday, among the Arsenal supporters inspired by James Benge’s Football.London piece on Bakayo Saka’s possible inclusion in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Euros this summer. It seems that the Arsenal’s youngster’s form as a stand-in left back for his club, […]
King Jenkinson: the man who succeeded where all else failed. It’s official, Carl Jenkinson is a true Arsenal legend. Forget Bendtner, forget Ibrahimovic, forget Ronaldo (both of them), Carl Jenkinson is a true footballing god. After all, he represented TWO countries at international level. He’s seen off international right backs such as, Sagna, Santos […]
Let’s all laugh at Arsenal their absurd fans. Yeah I get it, it’s funny. The best run club in the world ™ has no money and none of their players want to stay. All very amusing and bizarre in equal measure. However the one thing I would like to point out, which in my opinion, […]
The displays from Reiss Nelson may have put a lot of people on alert, especially Eliseu who is surely in fear of further damage to his career at the moment. Taking a look at his attributes would be educational given how fast he seems to be adapting to the senior game. With the evidence that […]

We started with three consecutive Far East tours from 2011 onwards, which saw the Arsenal playing games in Malaysia, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam (remember the Running […]
Europa League it is, then. I know we are still in the race for a place in the top four but it’s extremely unlikely that either Liverpool or Manchester City will drop points in the final games, so the sooner we accept this demotion the better we will deal with it. I am not exactly […]
It’s one of those times I’m not quite sure what to write about. The task gets decidedly more complex owing to the fact I watched the game live. For some reason I just cannot follow the game from the stands the way I do in front of the TV screen. Oh well. Let’s see where […]
Last season was meant to be our season. At New Year’s Day 2016 we were many pundits’ tip for the Title – partly because we were playing well and partly because other teams were floundering. It didn’t happen and we found ourselves in a fight – successful – for second place. Not to be […]
So the new season is back and after finishing second in the Premier League last season, we are now back in the Champions League for the 19th season in a row with a tough first group game against Paris Saint German in France, a match which may be our toughest group game. After being drawn […]
