Ever since the era of UCL football ended and the era of UEL came in, the managers have used the Europa League for a chance to give minutes to the upcoming youngsters. In his final season, Le Professeur – Arsene Wenger, introduced the likes of soon-to-be England U21’s record goalscorer – Eddie Nketiah, and the […]
Not what you want, but what we need POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Yesterday I was reminded about two players at Arsenal that I’d somewhat forgotten about. I’d fallen into joining much of Arsenal twitter and thinking that Joe Willock was only useful as a versatile runner and presser when other’s legs had fallen off. I […]
If we get our timing right this article should be published on the occasion of our next Arsenal Youth Star’s 18th Birthday. (Happy Birthday!) Of course, we have had many special players younger than 18 grace the Arsenal first team and one such individual – Bukayo Saka – also broke through on the left wing, […]
How do you solve a problem like Reiss Nelson? The young Englishman was one of the most exciting talents coming through the academy in years. While the first team was going through a bit of transition the fans were screaming out for one of their own to lift spirits and hopes. A massive buzz was […]
Our first pre season game was underway against MK Dons yesterday. In this article, I will provide an in depth review of our 4-1 victory against ‘The Dons’ and analyse certain individual performances. First half Unsurprisingly, Arteta set us in a 3-4-3 system. It’s clear to me that we will continue with this formation until […]

We arrive, belatedly, at the last match of an ultimately woeful season for a team of Arsenal’s stature. A season that has seen the usually stable club have three different first team coaches ends with the Gunners, can only finish 8th if they beat relegation threatened Watford on Sunday. Whatever happens the 2019/20 will be […]
Well this weekend’s rare Saturday 3pm fixture at home to a West Ham team that seem to have turned a corner, looks massive. Win tomorrow and then away at Brighton, on the back of 2 home wins in the last two Premier League outings and Arsenal may unexpectedly find themselves back on the hunt for […]
You can’t go back, but you can turn around Positives, Needs and Hopes Part way through the game I had a moment of sadness. I’d just seen Torreira win yet another tackle, Xhaka play another fizzer between the lines and Ozil pick it up in oceans. I should’ve been excited, but I started wallowing in […]
Watford vs. Arsenal preview Our training ground neighbours are our next opponents, though this may be trickier than anticipated considering their recent managerial change. But there is some beef, of sorts, between us, so it’s intriguing to see how this will pan out. The usual talk when we play them is the “cojones” […]
