With the summer’s transfer rumours in full swing, and players such as Alexis Sanchez and Serge Aurier being linked heavily, here are my top Wenger signings so far. I think there is argument for Mesut Ozil to be amongst these players, but after one season, it is hard to tell…at least for me. It is […]

Captain’s leaving, BFG to be given armband,new Right back coming and Bentley retiring
O Captain, your subconscious has wrecked my Bentley “O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! […]
Good things come to those who wait (in the Transfer Window!)
The season has ended and, for Arsenal, it has ended on an immeasurable high. Winning our first trophy in 9 years has induced a collective sigh of relief and utter joy amongst the fan base and it’s importance should not be underestimated, especially as the progressive effect it could have is yet to be seen. […]
Dear Deidre I have been dumped by Patrick, Thierry and Francesc, what should I do?
Dear Deirdre, I’m thirty two years old. Since 2005, I’ve been dumped by a succession of men who have left me for (usually) rich foreign sorts who can offer so much more than I can. First, there was Patrick. Well built, charming…very French. But I suspected that he had a roving eye from as far […]

Why and how Cesc would improve the Arsenal team in 2014/15
It’s that time of the summer again. The time when rumours spread like viruses. Arsenal have currently got a chronic one on their hands, with the highly contagious Cesc buzz taking over the gunners fan base. A couple of factors suggest that Fabregas’ days at FC Barcelona are numbered. Including the fact that the club […]
ARSENAL RATINGS: Mesut Ozil better, Santi Cazorla the best but Jack Wilshere poor again against Manchester United
Nerves, fear, trepidation gripping both teams – robbed the watching public of a football match where expression is a required component of which gives a feeling that you are being entertained. Fear of enjoying the experience of playing football took over two professional teams and reminded us that the stakes are really high in the Premier […]
The return of Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere
Having been overshadowed and perhaps somewhat intimidated by Aaron Ramsey’s rise to prominence at Arsenal, Jack Wilshere is re-finding form at the perfect time. Not only is Wilshere doing things he’s done well before, but he’s also adding goals to his game, which seems to me to be the most effective catalyst for improvement. Jack’s […]
Why drawing Bayern Munich is good for Arsenal as Pep Guardiola bids to beat Emirates hoodoo
Having finished second in the group phase of the Champions League Arsenal were always going to be given a tough opponent in the last 16. In predictable fashion the Gunners were paired with Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich, which will provide a repeat, in terms of opponent as to last year though Arsene Wenger will hope […]
Eat. Shoot. Leave. Arsenal’s midfield has firepower lacked by Cesc Fabregas and co.
A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. After he finishes eating the sandwich, the panda pulls out a gun, pops the waiter and stands up to go. “Hey,” shouts the manager. “Where do you think you are going, you just shot my waiter and didn’t pay for your sandwich!”As he’s […]
