When news of an extension of Arteta’s contract by one-year surfaced; Arsenal twitter did not disappoint. The WOB used it as ammo to support their cause – further proof that Wenger does not want success because this means a DM will not be signed when we are in dire need of one. The AKB group […]

All the reasons why Arteta should NOT get his 1 Year Extension.
With reports emerging from within the media of club captain Mikel Arteta signing a new one year contract extension, I have to ask the simple question – What purpose is served by the retention of his services? The argument I’ve heard from some supporters is that his experience is vital if we are to be […]
A Blog in Defence of the BFG – Per Mertesacker
Per Mertesacker, the BFG. The whole season I have mostly seen complaints about the German with compliments far and few between. The complaints mostly comprise the following: He’s too slow. He’s too slow. He’s too slow. He’s too slow, people say he makes it up with his intelligence… but he’s too slow for me. Some […]
The rotation of Cazorla/Wilshere and Ramsey/Ox holds the key to success in 15/16
Arsenal’s 2014/2015 season in many ways has flirted with stability and merited praise. Aside recording back to back cup success, it has ensured sustainability in the team’s form, which sprung to life in the wake of the 2-0 win at the Etihad in January. This could be down to the change in approach (from controlling […]
The Transfer Window is open and Arsenal’s Business is concluded
Yay, Gooners, the transfer window is open! Too bad we already finished our business by signing Petr Čech… Yes, I do believe our squad is complete already: we added a reliable, experienced and the points-winning goalkeeper we have been lacking since David Seaman. The Czech will provide some extra security to our back line and […]
“Can we genuinely challenge for the title with Arteta being our captain?”
As I impatiently sat on my phone all day refreshing my twitter feed waiting for the “official” media pictures of Čech in an Arsenal kit, I came across a GIF of Mikel Arteta and Per Mertesacker lifting the FA Cup. While normally seeing your club’s captain lifting any trophy (except for the Emirates Cup of […]
With ‘Lorry off his back’ Arteta and Arsenal will announce decision on his future after Cup Final
So here is my final article from Arsenal’s FA Cup Final Media day on Wednesday which covers the interview with Club Captain, Mikel Arteta. I have always thought him a fine example to all professional footballers and the time listening to him only reinforced my view. What a guy to be quite frank and the […]
FA Cup Final Media Day – Gunners Town Reports from Colney and Wenger Press Conference
DB’s Season Diary Special – FA Cup Final Media Day Like waiting for a bus ain’t it? You wait ages for a blog from me and then two come along in the same week. I’m just trying to pass the time, the same as you. Trying to keep my mind off of the cup final, […]
Rosicky to celebrate staying by starting v West Brom
“We want to finish on a high at the Emirates and we want our fans to go home happy, full of hope for next season. We have fought very hard to directly qualify for the Champions League and we want to get over the line and finish the job, which we couldn’t do on Wednesday […]
When you consider who could replace Wenger you may decide Arsene is still the best man for the job
Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]
