Our dear Dave (@Goonerdave66) recently turned 50 (Happy Birthday!) and decided to celebrate with the 1,579,698,741,258th tweet about how Arsène Wenger should turn to a 4-3-1-2 formation to take the best out of Alexis Sánchez, Olivier Giroud, our plethora of anarchist central midfielders and our full backs. Although personally never a fan of such system, […]
If Jamie Vardy is the answer, then I’d love to know what the question is. This is such a left field *signing from Arsene, those fans who were screaming for change and ranting for Arsene to change his policy, not even in their wildest imagination did they ever expect this. I have had a week […]
Mesut Ozil came within touching distance of breaking Thierry Henry’s assist record in the Premier League last season. The German helped provide 19 goals for Arsenal over the course of the campaign, finishing just one behind the Gunners’ legend’s total from the 2002/03 season. Arsene Wenger’s men endured another underwhelming term, extending their top-flight crown […]
Arsenal have kicked off the summer transfer window by signing Swiss central midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach. And as delighted as one is by the prospect of the skipper of Germany’s 4th best team coming to our club, I must confess never really seeing much of the player. I’m not prepared to […]
In the closing stages of our final game of the season against Aston Villa, for the first time in the entire campaign, I felt truly united with all my fellow Arsenal supporters. We sang together and we laughed together as the news of Spurs’ humiliation, at the hands of a relegated Newcastle side, filtered through. […]
Every day someone has their say on Arsene Wenger, every day we’re reminded via social media, journalists, or Piers bloody Morgan, that he is no longer a force in world management. His tactics are stale, he can’t motivate the players, and he has lost that edge that once gave him an advantage over every coach […]
“For me, the standards you need to play for this club, it cannot be eight out of 10, it has to be 10 out of 10. When you cannot deliver that, it is not good enough. Sometimes people get away with it. Inside myself, my gut wasn’t clean and when you are like this, I […]
On the back of a possible Era changing 4-0 FA Cup final win over Aston Villa at the end of last season, Arsenal’s 2015/2016 campaign did look destined to be the year where ‘everything comes together’ at the Emirates. That belief was only strengthened by the fact that Arsenal had as stainless a pre-season campaign […]
2015/2016 – A Season that Ended so Familiarly Before it Began In the end you do not buy to give one hope, you want to buy because the players who come in can help your squad to be stronger. Buying and selling is one way to strengthen your team, but that is not the only way. […]
The last time we played Manchester City, it was a game that looked like a defining moment of the title race. We had been consistent until then and, with Chelsea’s collapse, taking on the title favourites at home with a squad decimated by injuries. We claimed a fantastic victory but the title challenge that so […]
