And the best team at the Euros are… What a great Euros it has been for Arsenal players. What I will argue here is that Arsenal as a club have had the best performing players at the tournament as a whole. With Giroud scoring three goals and helping France get themselves to the final, surely […]
Our dear Dave (@Goonerdave66) recently turned 50 (Happy Birthday!) and decided to celebrate with the 1,579,698,741,258th tweet about how Arsène Wenger should turn to a 4-3-1-2 formation to take the best out of Alexis Sánchez, Olivier Giroud, our plethora of anarchist central midfielders and our full backs. Although personally never a fan of such system, […]
Howdy. So the quarter-finals of the European championship in France are behind us and I find myself at something of a crossroads, as only 2 out of 4 were actually entertaining. Poland vs Portugal was a complete drag, while the much-anticipated Germany vs Italy may have a tactical masterclass from Lowe, Conte, or both, but […]
As May comes to a close and June is in sight, the football world takes on a new form. No longer is it about 11 players giving there all on a football pitch to win, the football supporting masses redirect there attention to transfers. That’s right its silly season coinciding with barbecue season once more; […]
Arsenal have kicked off the summer transfer window by signing Swiss central midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach. And as delighted as one is by the prospect of the skipper of Germany’s 4th best team coming to our club, I must confess never really seeing much of the player. I’m not prepared to […]

Had I been a bit younger (I’m 22), I could have said Tottenham haven’t finished above Arsenal in my entire lifetime. As […]
Vincent Janssen has become one of the hottest prospects in the Dutch Eredivisie this season. After finishing the season as top scorer with 27 goals, the AZ Alkmaar striker has been dubbed the new “Ruud van Nistelrooy” by pundits everywhere. It came as no surprise that the 21-year old won the Johan Cruyff Prize last […]
2015/2016 – A Season that Ended so Familiarly Before it Began In the end you do not buy to give one hope, you want to buy because the players who come in can help your squad to be stronger. Buying and selling is one way to strengthen your team, but that is not the only way. […]
I completely agree with The Tzar Alex Baguzin in his article “On all the things Wenger got wrong yesterday” Please read the article if you have not already done so. I find it incomprehensible how the media can make light of the protest by calling it a waste of time and then go on to […]
There were two big pluses to this game: we won and it took us one step closer to the end of the campaign. The performance, however, isn’t much to write home about, so I’ll start with it. The game It was dire. It was mind-boggingly dull. If I was a neutral I would have switched […]
