I thought as we haven’t any Arsenal games until we play Manchester City on Easter Sunday I’d have a bit of fun by looking at the present team who in my opinion are the best side we’ve had since the Invincibles and comparing the two sides and seeing how many of the present team I […]
Our record signing, Nicolas Pepe, had an OK season in 19/20. He contributed well in the FA Cup Final and scored some important goals at times. The free-kicks vs. Vitoria Guimaraes, at home vs. Man United, and Brighton away (even though we lost) show our quality. But he was inconsistent and perhaps given […]
Matteo Guendouzi’s call up to the French National Team seems like just rewards following his performance in the North London Derby. His first international cap, following an injury to Paul Pogba, marks a wonderful year for the youngster whose meteoric rise has shocked even the most optimistic of Arsenal supporters. The precocious talent who was […]
Like most of us, I’m engaged in the North London Derby spirit. I don’t like, nay detest, that lot. They’re not on our level in most – if not all – senses, and they’re not even half the footballing institution that we are. That said, these are some of my favourite NLD moments of the […]
Arsenal to Milan, Emirates to San Siro? Our long-standing CEO, Mr. Ivan Gazidis, is heavily rumoured to be leaving the club. This has been cited strongly by Sky Italy, as well as Bloomberg: Bloomberg: Ivan Gazidis to join AC Milan on 1 September #Arsenal https://t.co/Trkhf0IrlF — Daily Cannon (@DailyCannon) July 28, 2018 […]
If you were in charge at Arsenal Football Club (Part 3) Arteta is in charge. Koulibaly has taught our defenders Senegalese. Meunier has shown the fans what a RB with skill can produce. The new midfield is powerful, found a Santi replacement and replaced the looks of Xhaka with the looks and mobility of […]
Athleticism -And The Need for Speed I always say when you watch football we all watch from our own personal structures or values. What do you mean Clive?….. I hear you cry… In my opinion we are all formed in a football way by our own individual exposure to the game, our memories of our […]
There was a time I used to write many an article about tactics and formations and many of them were about the possibility of Wenger’s Arsenal returning to a 442 system, or a variation of it. If I am honest I gave up for a few years partly because I was continually told that 442, […]
Arsene Wenger says he loves a bargain in the transfer market, and the facts certainly show this to be true. The Frenchman has a knack for spotting talent, and he has revolutionised the way even rival clubs find players. Under Wenger’s reign, Arsenal has managed to consecutively qualify for the champion’s league every season, despite […]
Just a short jaunt back in the time machine, to the year 2000 for this week’s Highbury Hero, when Arsene Wenger paid £6,000,000 for one of our French Musketeers, the brilliant technically gifted, wide attacking midfielder Super Robert Pires. Robert had a very distinctive running style, slightly splayed feet with his mane of black hair […]
