I remember being in the concourse of a bustling Liberty Stadium in October 2015, eagerly awaiting team news for Arsenal’s match against Swansea City, hoping for a Joel Campbell start, of all things. As I was waiting in hopeful expectation of the Costa Rican continuing his run in the team, I watched and enjoyed the […]
Episode 20 “Piebury Feels Forever” Chris and Gav talk through the sad (but hopefully temporary) demise of Piebury Corner, as well as the control Arteta now might have at the club after the hasty exit of Don Raul Sanllehi. Another bite-sized chunk of Arsenalness delivered fresh to your cranium. Tune in and see why the […]
History books will show that the period between February 2018 and August 2020 at Arsenal was undoubtedly a chaotic one. The club churned through four times as many managers in those two and a half years as they had done in the previous 22. On the pitch we dropped from a team battling just on […]
Edu me a favour: Rethinking Arsenal’s Transfer Strategy With this post I want to look at Arsenal’s transfer strategy and give my thoughts about the direction the club should take moving forward.

Arsenal’s 0-3 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday brought most people back down to earth following the amazing 9 minute spell which saw the Gunners end a nine-match barren run to win 3-1 at West Ham. It also highlighted just how bad things are. As many of the older generation reflect on how current day […]
Will Spurs save Arsenal?’ Positives, Needs and Hopes Sometimes other people’s boldness nudges others to action. If our board’s reason for not already firing Unai Emery is that they don’t want to be labelled by others in the game as impatient, then maybe they will be prompted by an unlikely source. There are different reasons […]
‘All eyes on the Arsenal board’ My writings have been lengthy recently. This is because there has been so much to say. This will be shorter. It is shorter because life is simple at Arsenal right now. It is simple because it all pivots on two decisions. I’m not sure that Auba’s form, Ozil’s […]
