“Headphones” – the wearing of such evades Arsenal’s true issues. It was interesting to see some points made by the Arsenal Supporters Alliance the other day. In their welcome to new head coach, Mikel Arteta, they were offering suggestions going forward, specifically on player conduct. Some points were that players shouldn’t wear […]
2019 is nearly over, though at the time of writing there are some games vs. Bournemouth and Chelsea to play yet. So as this year is coming to an end, which were the best and worst points of 2019? What were the games, players and moments, which caught our eye, whether good or […]
