Happy New Season, everyone! Not quite the start we wanted at home to West Ham, all that optimism after a great pre-season, and the feeling that this could be “our year” killed stone dead after a home defeat in the first game of the season. At 1.30pm we were in the best position we had […]
Not much else happening at the moment, so I decided to go ahead and give you my thoughts on the Emirates Cup weekend. We’ve won the Cup by grabbing two wins, conceding no goals and producing a smashing performance against Lyon. One which spelled an end to Arsenal fans’ ongoing “buy Lacazette for 35 million” […]
With the pre season preparations well under way and the new season approaching quickly it is a good time to assess which Arsenal youngsters could make an impact in the next year. Last season saw the emergence of Hector Bellerin as a first team regular after fellow right back Mathieu Debuchy suffered two long-term injuries […]
Many of Wenger’s critics and indeed Arsenal fans generally are still convinced that the Gunners require a world class centre forward. Since the ever controversial departure of a certain Mr. van Persie, the clubs centre forward role has been one surrounded by debate and often with heavy doses of perhaps unnecessary scrutiny. This transfer window […]
Arsenal are back! Wednesday. That’s when I can stop forcing myself to care about Cricket/Tennis/Golf and get back to normality. The mighty Arsenal have traveled to Singapore to compete in the Barclays Asia Trophy and will take on a Singapore Select XI in a match that really is only about gauging fitness levels and making […]
Following on from last week’s review of the ‘more established’ young guns, this week I thought I’d look at the chances of the ‘next generation’ on the outskirts of the match day squad and assess their chances of making the grade. Krystian Bielik: The young Pole was signed in January 2015 from Legia Warsaw for the obligatory […]
One thing I look forward to every season is which player, who was previously doubted will step up to the plate and make himself undroppable. We tend to have this scenario every year and what I love is that it’s always in a position we need someone to step up in most. The obvious most recent […]
The good news came in yesterday: Mathieu Débuchy, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all ready to battle for a place in the squad that will face Liverpool on Saturday. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to follow in their footsteps next week already, players are going to take internal competition to the next level: making at least […]
Captain’s Log star-date 1.1.7.9 point 27. I’ve been thinking, everything on the ship is recycled. Everything. Seriously…everything. So when I go to the space-toilet… Spurs Rather than talk about the Spurs game directly I want to talk about a question that the loss raised. It’s not a new question but it’s an important one. I’ll […]
The January transfer window shut only two days ago, but speculations are already gathering pace about possible high profile summer transfers. Let’s be honest. This deadline day was tedious as it hasn’t been for years and not only due to the fact we weren’t involved in any deadline day deals. It just wasn’t the […]
