Matteo Guendouzi’s call up to the French National Team seems like just rewards following his performance in the North London Derby. His first international cap, following an injury to Paul Pogba, marks a wonderful year for the youngster whose meteoric rise has shocked even the most optimistic of Arsenal supporters. The precocious talent who was […]
Liverpool’s dominance at Anfield on Sunday acted as a reminder, not that anyone really needed reminding, that the Premier League is a two horse race. Following the team’s lacklustre performance, to be considered anything other than also rans would be an insult to the shadows which Arsenal chased on Saturday. And yet, the mood remains […]
Humanity often has the habit of looking towards the future and forgetting the past. Not from a sanguine or optimistic standpoint but in a disregard for that which has served them well. We are quick to throw out that which is not broken and upgrade or update for the sake of appearances. Granit Xhaka, for […]
To some the transfer window is a joyous time filled with hope and wonder; to others, it holds the same appeal as a state visit by Donald Trump at the taxpayer’s expense.

I talk about financial issues in football here, and have spoken about our recent financial history also (yes, this includes that lot too, […]
The below is a response to a comment on Victor’s last piece. The responded suggested business decisions in football should be based on analysis and statistics… Thank you Insideright, I appreciate your contribution. I fear that you have missed the main point of my article. I am not an accountant or a bean counter, nor […]
Here for long haul? The narrative of late for our club, bar Wenger and the FA Cup final, has been the bid for the club by Usmanov. This was rejected by Stan Kroenke, who has since said the club is not for sale for any price. However, I am not a financial analyst nor an […]
Arsenal’s first-team squad took part in their official photocall on Wednesday. Arsene Wenger, his coaching team and the players gathered at the club’s training ground in London Colney for their annual squad photo.
