Thoughts turned to the Carling Cup Final three years earlier, when Birmingham broke Arsenal hearts. However, back in 2014, 90 minutes and extra time later at Wembley, Arsenal had won the […]

The rotation of Cazorla/Wilshere and Ramsey/Ox holds the key to success in 15/16
Arsenal’s 2014/2015 season in many ways has flirted with stability and merited praise. Aside recording back to back cup success, it has ensured sustainability in the team’s form, which sprung to life in the wake of the 2-0 win at the Etihad in January. This could be down to the change in approach (from controlling […]
Cech’s signing speaks not only about Arsene’s intentions, it also shows he has rediscovered his ruthless touch
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I last wrote. Unfortunately, it’ll be the case for the entire month of July, as I’ve decided to gain a bit of working experience and thus took up work as an intern for a firm providing legal services. Ah well, I guess I had to do it at […]

I was fortunate enough to see many of Arsenal’s top players of the day on TV playing and winning important fixtures in that time, like Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Marc Overmars, Ray Parlour, Patrick Vieira… the list goes […]
Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
Arsenal’s Summer Shopping List – it’s longer than you thought…
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) […]
The defeat by Swansea proved that Arsenal CAN win the League not that we can’t
The defeat I was as surprised by the Swansea defeat as anyone, but I was more surprised by some of the fans reactions afterwards. I don’t consider myself an AKB, and certainly earlier on in the season I thought Wenger should go, but I’ve come to realise that perhaps I was wrong and I thought […]
