There have been a lot of hot takes on Arsenal, and rightly so, having lost six of our last twelve fixtures and being pipped to top four by Spurs. I took a bit of time out before writing this and have come to this conclusion: the season was in our hands, and we blew it on […]
For any team, the transition from offensive to defensive structure following a turnover of possession is key.

I wrote this on Tuesday for my Sun Football, weekly column ……… The most trusted Arsenal sources have reported that Edu and Arsenal have been talking to Gabriel Jesus’ people and that the deal to bring City’s Brazilian international to North London is highly probable. If the player is keen then given the friendship between […]
