Summer 2019, it was announced that the Gunners would acquire the services of the Brazilian wonder kid, Gabriel Martinelli, who impressed multiple scouts with his performances in South America. The assumption initially was that the talented teenager would be integrated into the U23’s and play his football predominantly there. But following a sequence of […]
There are times as a writer, be it professional or hobbyist, where you begin to question the futility of penning thoughts that you consider to be becoming repetitive. That’s the stage I had reached on Monday morning, following yet another league defeat the night before. In truth, I was sulking but as with anything that […]
So, it’s back to Anfield for us then. This is a ground with some very mixed fortunes in our history. Anfield 89 stands out, of course. Some of our best league wins in the Wenger-winning period were at Anfield – Pires’s curlers were grand, as was Henry skinning his former Sky pundit buddy Carragher in […]
When Gabriel Martinelli arrived in the summer of 2019 from third tier Brazilian side Ituano FC, not many would have predicted the teenagers incredible impact in his first season in arguably the toughest league in the world, however the 19-year old has been nothing short of a revelation leading him to gain plaudits from some […]

I must say I don’t mind Liverpool. The City of Liverpool itself is a hallmark, for its history and culture, and the club generally follows this lead. So this Gooner, unlike some others, doesn’t hate them. I cannot really bring myself to hate a club that allowed Sir Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, or more […]
Whilst our good friends are in third place, I think it’s unrealistic that they will win the league. This isn’t just rivalry talking but they’re not as good as Liverpool and City. Besides, Mr. Pochettino doesn’t like winning trophies, and they may not even open their ground this season. Liverpool hasn’t won the Premier League, […]
We’re only a handful of games into the Unai Emery era, but have you caught yourself wondering how his start to life in the Premier League compares? The Spaniard is just the latest in a string of top coaches from Europe that have come into English football after establishing their reputations elsewhere. What does […]
Arsenal vs. Liverpool Premier League preview Christmas is near, but will we get an early present by beating the Scousers? We will see. However, Salah looks like the signing of the season, and Klopp is still a quality manager. He’s publicly said that we’re a dangerous team, and both hold numerous similarities. We’re both technical […]
