Since Mesut Özil became Arsenal’s record signing on transfer deadline day in September 2013, there has been plenty of talk over whether he was worth the £42.4m Arsenal paid for the German. Here I look at whether he has fulfilled his potential with the Gunners. Statistically, Mesut Özil has been exceptional in his four years […]

Five Straws to clutch at now or is it another ‘Gloriously Ambitions Failure’ before Judgement Day
How I’m coping with the rest of this window. ____________________ Life is full of many constants, more so than the conventional “Deaths and Taxes” as popular culture would have you believe. There is the constant of happiness and suffering. Everyone will have a little bit of each within the context of their own lives. When […]
If Draxula takes the count up to 2, is it a Double Dip in the Bay of Naples for 3 & 4?
So if the recent stories are to be believed, Julian Draxler is on the late night flugzeug from Berlin and will be on the physio table at London Colney tomorrow and if all goes to plan, he will provide the balance on the right wing to compliment Alex on the left, allow Iwobi the […]
Are we in for Higuain or are we not in for Higuain? Wenger make your mind up this time
How to solve a problem like Higuain I saw a funny tweet the other day, it went something like this ‘’according to local reports, Gonzalo Higuain has undergone too many medical tests at Arsenal, and has now become a qualified doctor’’, I assure you that reading that as a tweet was a lot funnier than […]
Arsenal’s transfer window and Wenger’s deadline day dealings
We are nearly half way through the summer transfer window and Arsenal have still only made one major signing. For many Arsenal fans this is a frustrating time of year. We are usually linked with some top class players with proven goal-scoring records but never actually go in for them. But what we do […]
If Jamie Vardy is the Answer what on earth is the Question Arsene?
If Jamie Vardy is the answer, then I’d love to know what the question is. This is such a left field *signing from Arsene, those fans who were screaming for change and ranting for Arsene to change his policy, not even in their wildest imagination did they ever expect this. I have had a week […]
Do Arsenal have enough to win the title next season? No so what do they need?
Without a shadow of a doubt, Arsenal play better football than anybody else in the Premier League. We know it, they know it – it’s a fact. However, free-flowing, attractive football doesn’t guarantee titles. It is now time for Arsene Wenger and the board to stand up and be counted: we need to […]
Arsenal’s Title Jigsaw Puzzle: Higuain is the first Missing Piece
Being an Arsenal fan really tests a person’s will to live. I mean how often do we ask ourselves the following question: why do I even bother? After asking that question, we all tend to make a half-hearted promise to ourselves to not let Arsenal’s results affect our daily lives. We only keep that promise […]
Why Arsenal will NOT sign Benzema or Cavani and the truth about the Higuain deal
DB’s Silly Season Diary Returns….. #WhoopsWeDidItHiguain Well, this is it. The window is officially open, the Copa whatever it’s called is finished, and pre-season training has begun. So we can expect a flurry of transfer activity over the next few weeks, and we are well within our rights to stamp our feet and shake our fists […]
Arsene, for the sake of the club, please retire………………the Number 9 Shirt!!
I have a heart felt plea, a plea that Arsene must adhere to, for the future of the club. ‘Arsene Wenger, please retire, please retire the number 9 shirt!!!’ It’s destroying careers and undermining the club. Okay so the last statement is a bit over the top, but the shirt is defiantly cursed and needs […]
