I struggled to think this week. Arsenal news and events were limited by an International break, and with the transfer window closed, gossip has been temporarily restrained as well. It is currently Thursday evening, and up until this point I have failed to think of a sensible topic to address in this column, so have […]
Post transfer-window, one of the arguments I saw posed by fans was that the current squad cannot win the league because the current squad hasn’t been able to do so for the last two seasons. On paper, that makes sense. How can the same group of players, who have failed to put up a challenge […]
After reading Alex’s blog on Sunday and some of the other blogs this week from David Glicksman, Petit’s Ponytail and Steve Wellman, there are a few points that I’d like to raise about the transfer window and some of the positions that the Club has taken with regards to the squad. I was one of […]
It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]
Got £50mill spare Guvnor? So now the silly season is over for another 3 months and no-one could be arsed to turn up and protest (lol). Just what does £50mill buy you these days? Well, according to LVG, when you spend it on deadline day, on an unknown 12 year old, with a 1 in […]
Just how important has Bellerin become to Arsenal? Sometimes in football player’s progress at a good pace, sometimes they progress even quicker and in the case of Hector Bellerin they progress at a similar pace to our young Spanish right backs sprint speed – just to be clear that’s rather quick. If we cast our […]
On the eve of post deadline day hysteria I started on a piece about our striking options without bringing anyone in. The gist of it being is that, for the team to progress, Welbeck would be our best option at ‘nine’ given his physical attributes and, compared to Ollie and Theo, he has a greater […]
Newcastle It was tough going against a resilient Newcastle side on Saturday. In the end, our top striker Own Goal came to the rescue. As long as we can keep him fit we’ll be in with a chance of winning the big trophies this season. On a more serious note, the two own goals that […]
When the line-ups were announced ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Newcastle last Saturday, a bizarre feeling swept through me. It wasn’t the glaringly obvious omission of Mesut Ozil that caused a stir in my mind, nor was it the selection of Theo Walcott as the side’s spearhead. Instead, I found myself overwhelmed by a huge […]
Arsenal’s start to the season has done no favors to the notion that this squad can win the league. Unsurprisingly, the clamoring for buying a new striker or backup defensive midfielder or any other ‘we need’ you may have heard, has only increased fervently. Apparently, we must spend. Apparently, we must show our ambition by […]
