Arsenal Expectations for 17/18 We are all awaiting new signings (Lemar?), and the Leicester game in the coming weeks. The Charity Shield* may be interesting, but then it is just a friendly, and an actual trophy win vs. Chelsea in May was better than any prospective glorified friendly “win”. Mourinho called it “half a trophy”, […]
This is one of those completely off the wall blog ideas, the seed of which was planted by the phrase – “Have we bought Lemar yet?” A phrase that for some obscure reason brought to mind, well my mind at least, the equally annoying question, often posed by children in the back of a car, […]
In May 2009, an eclectic and globally assembled bunch of Arsenal youngsters won the FA Youth Cup. As so often is the case the huge and hopeful expectation that we might see a good number advance into the senior ranks has not been fulfilled.

Dear Fellow Gunners Quite a few points to cover;- The Cup Final was on 27 May and the first match of the new season is on 11 August. Six weeks since we saw our team triumph in style against Chelsea at Wembley and another five weeks before AFC open the new season against […]

It seems that today the word “legend” gets thrown around freely by fans. It is understandable, to an extent. Fans are emotionally invested in their team, and its players. It’s easy enough to get the supporters teary-eyed and mellow when an exciting forward comes along and has a couple of great seasons in front of […]
Wenger is finally tackling Arsenal’s main problem Mentality Arsenal have been for the best part of a decade, saddled with the labels of underachievers and weak mentally, yet consisting of some of the best players around.
