On transfer deadline day of 2013, Arsenal made a real statement of intent by signing one of the most highly rated attacking midfielders in the world, Mesut Ozil. At the time, manager Arsene Wenger smashed the clubs record transfer fee to bring him to the club in a £42.5 million deal, which sparked scenes of […]
Sometimes fans come up with the craziest of ideas and theories. Some go noticed by many like the banners and the attitudes of fans on social media going global. And when I mean ideas, this is something not based on transfers like we should buy player x because of his reputation or because he had […]
Mesut Ozil: how can he maintain his best form and stay in the Arsenal team? “Mesut Ozil was once one of the best, if not the best, playmakers in Europe. His assist numbers, as well as his underlying metrics in the form of key passes and expected assists were phenomenal.” This comment from Alfie Culshaw […]
Whether you’re Wenger in, Wenger out or indeed if you’re Wenger shake it all about, there is a distinct desire for something to be done at Arsenal to change recent fortunes. The lily white neighbours are getting a little too smug and the media are having a little much too fun writing off Arsenal’s demise. […]
For very long time, so-called small teams used to apply an ultra-defensive approach when facing technically superior opponents, sitting deep in their half and tightening spaces available for their rivals. As they couldn’t compete on technical level, they HAD TO find a different way to avoid a heavy defeat and hopefully bring a point […]
So, the semi-finals are behind us. Needless to say I’m heartbroken Wales couldn’t beat Portugal, however the other semi-final was a win-win situation, seeing as there were Gunners involved on either side.

Howdy. So the quarter-finals of the European championship in France are behind us and I find myself at something of a crossroads, as only 2 out of 4 were actually entertaining. Poland vs Portugal was a complete drag, while the much-anticipated Germany vs Italy may have a tactical masterclass from Lowe, Conte, or both, but […]
Hi. Once again it took me longer to get back here than I originally thought it would. However a combination of pretty dull football during the weekend and the fact very few our players were involved then restricted me from writing earlier. Now we finally have something to chew on. Hence, without further ado… Switzerland […]
I watched the majority of EURO 2016 games so far and I was far from impressed, I must admit: so-called big teams look happy to give possession to their opponents and wait for the good opportunity on the counter, exploiting one moment of brilliance from one of their players. It’s made for a pretty even […]
How Löw can we go? February Fever has turned into March Madness, it’s all gone Pete Tong, again and I’m afraid to say but I think the time has finally come. Loyalty comes at a price and I believe it is a price we have now paid. Arsene has a mission statement “The Right Way” and […]
