Ever since Arsenal made an offer for Raphinha early in the transfer window, the media and the fanbase have been convinced that Arteta is seeking a new right winger. The logic that Saka has been overplayed and needs periods of rest is of course compelling, but I have begun to wonder if the attempt to […]
If that was the past POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Before the game started I was really looking forward to simply watching my team. I’ve been bragging about the ‘new Arsenal’ to many people and told them to tune in. I desperately wanted Arsenal to show my friends and the world that they have changed. The […]
POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I really hate that title. That phrase. Little bit of sick mouth. I thought about calling this piece ’Similar to bringing in a player from another team’ (STBIAPFAT), but that’s trying too hard. Either way, it does accurately describe a couple of things I’ve seen at Arsenal this pre-season. One is […]
Arsenal need strikers. It’s not rocket science. Both Manchester City and Liverpool comfortably surpassed 90 goals over a 38-game Premier League season. Meanwhile, in north London, the Gunners merely scraped over the 60-goal mark, a substantial difference when compared to the elite. To suggest Arsenal can increase their tally by an additional third is unrealistic, […]
It makes a pleasant change to be discussing Arsenal’s completed transfer business early in the window, with three signings already in the bag, and several more being hotly tipped. Certainly, with an earlier start to the 22/23 campaign due to the World Cup in the autumn, we fans will hope the club can finalize […]
The Season before the Season An end of season review and glimpse into 22/23 I’ve been on pause waiting to write this end of season review for a few weeks now. I wanted it to encapsulate how I felt about the season and what I think is fair and right to state but needed to […]

We have a long, proud history of working together with our local community, and Arsenal in the Community has leveraged […]
How should I feel? Positive Needs and Hopes What’s the name of that place in the Caribbean that everybody thinks is the ultimate luxury? I’ve forgotten so I’m going to go and ask my wife…… OK, it’s Atlantis. At least to me as a young adult I always saw the commercials for Atlantis and thought […]
Not fun, don’t care Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, actually I did care during the game. I didn’t necessarily need to be entertained but I did need to feel like we were trying to win. So, let’s get the honesty out of the way. During the games I make copious notes. I make columns based […]
Spin the wheel POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I feel like a mug. Well actually I don’t now because the game is finished, but I felt like a mug after 15 minutes of the game. Like you, most likely, I have friends who support United. They are everywhere. I don’t normally flash my feelings about Arsenal. […]
