What an absolute pleasure to be asked by Sun Football, for my thoughts on Arsenal providing four players for the England squad announced by Gareth Southgate last week. It has been a fair few years since the likes of Welbeck, Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain were in and round the international scene simultaneously and I cannot imagine […]
There is little doubt that Arsenal have a creativity issue and a confidence crisis at present, with Sunday’s defeat at home to Wolves condemning The Gunners to their worst start to a Premier League campaign for decades. Arteta’s team sit 14th and any fans making predictions here at casinosuden.com might be forgiven for not predicting Arsenal […]
A little ditty ‘bout Jack and Dan A little ditty ’bout Jack & Dan Two London boys growing up in Sky Sports land At 16, Jack, was a football star Danny played up north and he was going far Learning from at London Colney Danny joins, to get away from Fergie Injured as […]
After a stressful, yet largely satisfying end to the Transfer Window for Arsenal, with the addition of a much-needed top class central midfielder in Thomas Partey, we sadly have an international break. When most fans are desperate to see their new players in action, we will have to satisfy ourselves with watching them on international […]
I wrote this on Sunday morning, but it has been on my mind for ages. Those who chat to me privately will know that I was never overly concerned about the signing of Houssem Aouar, not because I don’t admire him, more that I don’t see the pressing need. Yes, I acknowledge the lack of […]
It is not often in the modern era that players burst on to the scene at 16, particularly not at Premier League clubs. That said, Arsenal’s youngest league debutant has come in recent times, when Jack Wilshere, aged 16 years and 256 days, took his bow. It is interesting therefore that the subject of our […]
I finished yesterday’s newspaper column, discussing what Arteta needs to revert to 433 next season, with an off-the-cuff suggestion of Said Benrahma. The reason I would describe the suggestion as off-the-cuff, or left field is because the article was considering the creative central player Arsenal need, and the Algerian, predominantly plays on the wing for […]
It is no surprise in these quiet times that the media is rife with transfer speculation and our beloved Arsenal and our pro-active young coach seem to be linked to a ludicrous number of players in various positions. At this stage most seem baseless either because we are being linked to players in positions that […]
After last week’s fairly interesting part 1, today the GT contingent look at favourite matches and goals. 3) Which Emirates game is your favourite? MarbleHallsTV: Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham. This was better than the 5-2 of the following season for me since Adebayor got sent off and that did change the complexion of the game. This […]
Under a sunny Swiss sky in 2008, at a café near Basel, Arsène Wenger made his pitch. And a young, 17-year-old Welshman listened. Six years later, Aaron Ramsey delivered Arsenal their first trophy since 2005. Ramsey is all that remains Wenger’s British core; a generation of players whose moments of brilliance form a collage of […]
