It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fanbase in general showed a lack of faith and a fair amount of concern at the end of the Transfer Window. The worries concentrated around a lack of depth in central midfield and also on whether the squad had cover to rest and rotate an over […]
It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fans were in state of panic when, with Partey and Elneny injured, the club failed to secure midfield reinforcements at the end of the transfer window. Undoubtedly the fans, and the media, watching a last evening scramble for Douglas Luiz saw it as a gamble, similar […]
For all the benefits of being a Premiership Manager, Mikel must be feeling especially pleased with himself, as he gets gratis accommodation, living RENT FREE……….inside Richard Keys head. Not for the first time, Richard Keys has gone on an another anti-Arteta rant. Following on from; “I can’t hide the fact that irritates me so much, […]
Killing the wrong team POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Did Manchester United deserve to win the game? Part of me thinks absolutely not. We looked like the superior team on their home patch and are clearly a better team right now. They rely strongly on individuals as they did yesterday. On the other hand, what are […]

As I think I mentioned in my last column on the potential purchase of Raphinha, I was not against the signing but did not see it as a priority. However, as many reminded me on social media, with 5 substitutions allowed in the coming campaign and with the additional games that the Europa League will […]
