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 […]
Some interesting news concerning Mesut Ozil emerged lately. Ozil’s agent, Erkun Sogut, has said that he will stay at the least until the end of his contract, and even though there could be some possibility that he stays beyond that, it seems for various reasons we’re in the Ozil end-times. However, even if […]
I’ll start this by saying I don’t see what Mesut Ozil has done wrong. He has reportedly refused to accept a conditional pay deferral, in which the players would take an initial cut but with full pay restored if Champions League football is regained. But is he really the bad guy here? Now, these are […]
In today’s transfer rumours Arsenal, whilst linked to Chris Smalling quite heavily, have also been linked with two midfielders, both playing their trade in La Liga. Whenever, or if ever the 2019/20 season does draw to a close, there seems little doubt we will see considerable movement in and out of North London. In one […]
With the speculation ever present on the enigma that is Mesut Ozil and his future at the club, there will logically have to be equal speculation on who might occupy the 10 or central attacking midfield role if the German were to depart. That is, of course, assuming that Arteta intends to persist with a […]
Arsenal’s rebate explained and opposition analysis: Can Arsenal bounce back Arsenal need to learn to stick the ball in the back of the net, and win when it matters.

As Arsenal extended their unbeaten run away from home to nine games, they left Burnley with a point for the third Premier League game in a row which left them 10th, lingering 10 points off the top four. I look at how we played today and whether we improved on recent displays. It was a […]
When Mikel Arteta took over the reigns as Arsenal Manager, his first fixture against a top six side was against Chelsea at The Emirates Stadium. The match resulted in a loss that the Gunners failed to see out at 1-0 up and lose the eventual fixture 2-1. Arsenal could challenge for the title next season […]
Whoever The Arsenal decided to appoint to succeed the sacked Unai Emery, was always likely to be met with criticism and negativity by many of the club’s supporters and there were no exceptions made for Mikel Arteta. With the most common criticism being the most obvious one. His lack of any previous managerial experience. However, […]
You can’t go back, but you can turn around Positives, Needs and Hopes Part way through the game I had a moment of sadness. I’d just seen Torreira win yet another tackle, Xhaka play another fizzer between the lines and Ozil pick it up in oceans. I should’ve been excited, but I started wallowing in […]
