I have seen a few comments suggesting an attempt to re-sign Aaron Ramsey, given his lack success or opportunity at Juventus. I have also seen us being linked to a move for Doucoure from Watford this summer. I am not sure whether either are likely given one is barely fit for more than half a […]
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 […]
This is our 13th draw this season, and it’s not looking good really. We’re only seven points above the drop, and we need to do better. Since Burnley joined the Premier League, we hadn’t lost to them. And this was the first time that we hadn’t beaten them since their entry in 2016. […]

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 […]
Winning the fight, punched in the gut. Positives, Needs and Hopes Unbelievable. I wrote that word 5 hours ago and had to walk away. It felt like all my son wanted for Christmas was some balloons. I got the balloons. He was so, so excited. Then the evil kid next door came over, looked […]
