Arsenal ended their tour of America with a 3-2 penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid in Washington. The Gunners dominated early on and lead 2-0 through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Lacazette but were dominated in the second half and goals from Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio brought it back. Robbie Burton’s penalty miss ensured the […]
In a world of such disunity, with such things as Brexit, Trump or indeed Jose Mourinho, dividing so many, it’s good to know an Arsenal player can unite many to a common cause, that heroic player is Mesut Ozil. A polarising figure among the old school crowd and the romantics, he once again is under […]
With the Europa League game very soon, and the prospect of winning a third European trophy, I wanted to lighten our negative mood. And not just after losing to the scum. But in our inconsistent displays and weak mentality. Opinions will naturally differ, but these are my favourite European games*: Arsenal 7-0 Sparta Prague 1993/94 […]
Arsenal, how the mighty have fallen. And how we’re allowing the sore to grow. The latest defeat to Bournemouth highlights how far we’ve fallen. But why do we allow the sore to fester? We’re sick. But then we’re not resolving the sickness. I feel like we’re viewing a bad cut, and not making any effort […]
Since Mesut Özil became Arsenal’s record signing on transfer deadline day in September 2013, there has been plenty of talk over whether he was worth the £42.4m Arsenal paid for the German. Here I look at whether he has fulfilled his potential with the Gunners. Statistically, Mesut Özil has been exceptional in his four years […]
“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – It’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road Could there be a more fitting […]
This is not normally my field and I’m a bit out of my comfort zone writing about this, but anyway here are a few of my thoughts regarding Kylian Mbappe possibly moving to Arsenal Football Club. I would like to point out the minus and plus points of why he would or would not come […]
Real Madrid are yet again on the prowl and they’ve found Wenger in the last year of his contract and ‘Real’ly believe that this time they can get their man. Now should Arsene feel his Arsenal journey is over, whether he picks the Sun, Sea and Sangria of Madrid or the Rain and Real Ale […]
Have you ever had that moment in your life where it takes an incident – big or small – to wake up a dormant belief within you? This happened to me last week. I was walking down the street and saw a few kids, hardly between 8-10 years of age, hanging around outside their apartment […]
Arsenal’s start to the season has done no favors to the notion that this squad can win the league. Unsurprisingly, the clamoring for buying a new striker or backup defensive midfielder or any other ‘we need’ you may have heard, has only increased fervently. Apparently, we must spend. Apparently, we must show our ambition by […]
