When going into the game, I honestly didn’t expect for Arsenal to pull off something like that. It has nothing to do with lack of belief: I always believe we can beat the opposition, whatever the circumstances. Rather, I knew it was make-or-break for Liverpool: a loss would basically mean they finish outside the top […]

With 23 fit to face LFC who makes your 11 and which 5 not even on the bench? #Squaddepth
The good news came in yesterday: Mathieu Débuchy, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all ready to battle for a place in the squad that will face Liverpool on Saturday. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to follow in their footsteps next week already, players are going to take internal competition to the next level: making at least […]
Walcott can hold a gun to the club’s head again- But is the gun still loaded?
What do you do when someone holds a gun to your head? “I don’t need an agent, because I will never leave Arsenal”. This quote by Jack Wilshere has become iconic. It almost reaches the heights of Adams’ “Play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the name on the back.” […]
Why do the English Media despise Arsenal as much as they do whilst admiring others who are genuinely failing?
Everyone has the right to give their opinions, they are allowed to talk about it, to write about it and to share their thoughts to people in any way, be it a respectful way. Football in England is still, no doubt one of the best to watch in the world. The rivalry, the tenacity, the […]
Arsenal set to sign a New Winger – A Complete analysis of our current widemen reveals why.
You’ve read the heading and most likely said: “What an idiot. Everyone knows we need a screening midfielder, that world-class striker we’ve been promised, probably a world-class goalkeeper, maybe another centre-back but definitely no mention of a winger. What is this guy even thinking?” Well, read on. I’m not saying we don’t need these players […]
2 Different Arsenals get a result where the 1 Old Arsenal would not have
Hello everyone. The last round of games before the international break took place this weekend and, truth be told, I’m a little relieved there will be no games for the next two weeks. The build-up to matches with rallying cries from managers and players alike, nerves spiking during games themselves and a short respite after […]
Has Wenger’s new kind of tactical flexibility made Arsenal unpredictable and dangerous?
Purely in terms of results, this has actually been a good week. It doesn’t feel like it for obvious reasons, but a 3-0 win and a 2-0 win are good results, not only because of the victories, but the nature of them too. We played very well in both games and rarely looked troubled at […]
Arsenal wasted 16 minutes hoping for a ‘Miracle in Monte Carlo’ rather than creating one!
Yes, we played well in Monaco. Yes, we could have scored at least one more goal. Yes, we showed character and desire. Yes, we gave the qualification away in the home leg. Yes, we fell short. The win in Monaco is very difficult to take, especially when you see the authority, command and […]
We showed the world that United are a team of desperation, not determination.
Manchester United To win away at Old Trafford is always special for any Arsenal fan. To humiliate them is extra special, and make no mistake, we humiliated United. Their fans must have been crying with embarrassment all the way back to London. The score was a little flattering for United, and but for their goalkeeper […]
It’s goodbye to Diaby and I wish it was goodbye to Scholes
Two stories have caught my eye this week… 1 . Never can say goodbye After 3339 days at the club & 1554 days chatting with Doctor Lewin, it looks like Abou is finally being set free. Personally I find this very sad news. I truly believe that Diaby could’ve / should’ve been a […]
