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 […]
Desperate for what we don’t want POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I spend too much time scrolling through Twitter. I admit. I had to get off it on Saturday though. The transfer window turns people who I respect into angry and irrational. I totally understand that you can be angry and greatly disappointed after it’s over. […]
Our 3-1 league defeat at Anfield was an unusual one to analyse and consisted of several ifs, buts and maybes. Had Sadio Mane been sent off following the early incident involving him and Kieran Tierney or had Alexandre Lacazette taken his clear opportunity in the second half for example, we would obviously have been discussing […]
Arsenal and Arteta are clearly taking a considerate approach to ease William Saliba into life in North London, with the Frenchman’s only appearance so far being in our pre-season friendly against MK Dons, in which he didn’t fail to impress. If expectations weren’t already high enough, his assured display on the right-side in an unfamiliar […]
Bernd Leno will never win, will he? Ever since Emiliano Martínez was sold to Aston Villa, the German has been the primary target of attention for all Gooners who think the Argentine should have stayed.Now, it’s perfectly fine to think that we should have kept Emiliano Martínez over Bernd Leno but the decision was made […]
Our record signing, Nicolas Pepe, had an OK season in 19/20. He contributed well in the FA Cup Final and scored some important goals at times. The free-kicks vs. Vitoria Guimaraes, at home vs. Man United, and Brighton away (even though we lost) show our quality. But he was inconsistent and perhaps given […]
With Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the campaign continuing on Wednesday I have been asked to pen a few thoughts for the Fan Column on, man of the hour, Eddie Nketiah. Of course, he has been the talk of Arsenal social media for his goal bit also his apparent disillusionment at Pepe for not squaring earlier, […]
How do you solve a problem like Reiss Nelson? The young Englishman was one of the most exciting talents coming through the academy in years. While the first team was going through a bit of transition the fans were screaming out for one of their own to lift spirits and hopes. A massive buzz was […]
Writing after the Leicester League Cup, it’s been three wins in three in all comps, and hopefully, we can avoid another Anfield-based debasement. With our good friends being reunited with Bale, Chelsea spending like no tomorrow, and United choking over getting Sancho, it’s clear that there is competition for the top four this […]
Ben Cottrell v MK Dons (Thanks to Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) This week, inspired by his recent goal scoring exploits, John (@willow1886) and I are returning to midfield, and discussing U23 Man of the Moment, Ben Cottrell. Ben has been at Arsenal since he was 9 years old and signed his first […]
