They say that you can never make the same mistake twice because the second time you make it, it’s not a mistake, it’s a choice. If that’s anything to go by, then it appears the Arsenal hierarchy made their choice a while ago to take a back seat, and allow the club to slowly regress. […]
With the Euros done and dusted (love you Bukayo!), it is time for the focus to shift completely to The Arsenal – especially their squad building for the upcoming year. Nuno Tavares became the first signing of the summer last week and the pace of arrivals and departures is expected to pick up over the […]
The Emile Smith Rowe saga is trundling along, and it seems to be bringing out the usual contradictions in the Arsenal fanbase, on social media at least. Perhaps some of us should step back and consider the irony of simultaneously demanding a Maddison, a Grealish or an Aouar on the one hand whilst declaring faux […]
Swapping the shirt number from 18 to 5 isn’t the main change for Thomas Partey.The biggest change for the Ghana international happened last summer and I’m not referring to his move to Arsenal from Atletico Madrid: the biggest change for him was going from supporting actor to main lead.Arsenal triggering Thomas Partey’s release clause on […]
I was asked On Monday to write about Granit Xhaka leaving Arsenal yesterday and then he performs as he against the World Champions – What timing! No fan likes a player to be disrespectful to the club that is paying their wages and Granit Xhaka’s recent quotes seeming to try and engineer an early resolution […]
“It isn’t easy being an Arsenal fan…. this season it’s been harder than ever….” As you may or may not know, I have just finished writing my second book, “Over Land and Sea (and Lockdown), Arsenal 20/21 – The Corona Diaries”, which will be released through Legends Publishing in July. The project began simply as […]
Whilst fans await the festival of football that we hope the delayed Euros will be, Arenal fans are using their down time to moan about the players we have not signed in the first few days of the summer transfer window. Having missed out, apparently, on Emi Buendia, the club are now being linked, to […]
I do find this time of year, as the transfer speculation mounts, and the angst heightens amusing and bemusing in equal measure. I used to get dragged in far more than I do these days. Now I just sit back and enjoy the ride, knowing that there is nothing I can do to influence proceedings […]
Let’s all learn from Scotland. So, contrary to what pretty much anyone who’s ever met me before will say, I come from Scotland. This means that, unlike the vast majority of people who frequent this website (I imagine?), over the past few days I haven’t been watching the likes of Bukayo Saka get booed on […]
We now know that common sense prevailed and the rumours that Bukayo Saka was to miss out on Southgate’s final 26, which would have left Arsenal, traditionally among the elite of European club football, with only 2 players on show at the Euros starting this month, were false. Arsenal will now have three outfield players […]
