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 […]
Part one -The first 10 years…. 20 years? 20 years since the unknown French manager walked through the door and who would have thought he would still be manager to this day. Wenger arrived at Highbury in October 1996 and Arsenal fans didn’t have a clue who he was. Wenger had a lot to prove […]
Without a shadow of a doubt, Arsenal play better football than anybody else in the Premier League. We know it, they know it – it’s a fact. However, free-flowing, attractive football doesn’t guarantee titles. It is now time for Arsene Wenger and the board to stand up and be counted: we need to […]
On Sunday I was lucky enough to be invited along on behalf of Gunners Town to an event laid on at the Emirates by our friends at Europcar, to mark the launch of their rather splendid Fans Of The Season competition, which you can find a link to at the end of this piece. Upon […]
Post transfer-window, one of the arguments I saw posed by fans was that the current squad cannot win the league because the current squad hasn’t been able to do so for the last two seasons. On paper, that makes sense. How can the same group of players, who have failed to put up a challenge […]
I felt the urge to write about the signings The Arsenal have made that really made all Arsenal fans & the media sit up and take notice. The big signings that had that wow factor. There were some before my time such as Charlie Buchan, David Jack, Alex James and Bryn Jones. Also George Eastham, […]
Today’s Arsenal unsung hero is a bit of a left-field shout. it is a fair to say that he had a fairly unassuming Arsenal career, and there isn’t really one single standout moment from him wearing the Arsenal colours…but…for me, he was part of one of the most exciting summers that I can remember. He […]
It is a very subjective subject, of course, so I hope it inspires some discussion below the post in the comments, but here are my Dozen Best Wenger Signings, from 1996 – 2015. Why 12? Why not?! It’s like a reverse ‘Dirty Dozen!’ Fees are those as stated on the superlative Arsenalreport.com’s Transfer Centre. These […]
Last night saw the premiere of the much anticipated ‘Invincibles Doc’ the inside story of Arsenal’s historic unbeaten league season in 2003/2004. The documentary, which has taken over two years to put together, includes contributions from Arsene Wenger, Thierry Henry, Jens Lehmann and Sol Campbell and other key squad members. In the film […]
If I hear the phrase ‘You’ve been caught by the Hurri-Kane’ one more time, I will swing for someone. Honestly. Yes The Spuds won. Yes we were outplayed. The Spuds came out with a game plan & I’m afraid to say, it worked. After 20 minutes, we had 11 men behind the ball, full backs that […]
