No Jack, Rambo or Giroud? My ideal starting 11 for 2015/16 Think I can speak for the general population of Arsenal fans that I am genuinely optimistic about the team going in to the 2015/16 season.

3 years on from ‘The Statement’ – How did that work out for you Robin?
“Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward. I’ve thought long and hard about it, but […]
