I’ll start my preview for the Community Shield game with the good news: Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla have both signed new long-term contracts with the Club, worth 140k and 130k per week respectively. Frankly, I consider these numbers reasonable. Theo becomes 2nd highest-paid (behind Ozil) and Santi is tied in 3rd with Alexis Sanchez. […]
Ozil looks ready to take the Premier League by storm It was one of the biggest transfers in the history of our football club, a deadline day acquisition which had the whole Premier League in shock. Arsenal for once had flexed some financial clout in the market and signed arguably the finest playmaker in the […]
Singapore select XI We expected to beat them and we did. It was also by a score that reflected the difference in the teams and the occasion. I said last week that I was looking forward to watching Akpom and he didn’t disappoint. Three goals is also a good way to get the managers attention. […]
Triumph. I was looking for one word which can best describe what happened yesterday and I found it: triumph. Not a win. You can get 30+ wins a season and still be left empty-handed. Not a success. Success is temporary. One day you are successful, the other you are not. Success isn’t all-encompassing. You can […]
It’s that time of the year again. Though the transfer window will only open in 6 weeks, the transfer mill is already churning out rumours and boasting actual signings. Depay will start next season in United colours after the Red Devils bought him for a ridiculous £31 million and Dybala (our long-rumoured target) […]
“As Valencia’s deflected shot found the bottom corner I stared at the screen in disbelief. The sense of unreality swept over me. For a good while longer than a few seconds I’ve been (fruitlessly) trying to persuade myself that this wasn’t happening. This could not be happening. Simply because everything about this goal was so […]
by Liam Twomey No one would blame Arséne Wenger for picking the same starting XI that destroyed Hull City in thrilling style a week ago when Swansea City visit the Emirates Stadium on Monday night. Arsenal are the Premier League’s form side, unbeaten in 10 games since losing to Tottenham in early February as they […]

Arsenal’s winning streak came to an end yesterday after our attempts to break down Chelsea’s defense proved fruitless. And look, it’s not the worst way to end our run: we battled a point from the inevitable champions, while dominating the Blues in territory and possession. Yes, the result plays into Mourinho’s hands more than into […]
