We’ve had a great start to the season, admittedly we’ve had a fairly favourable run (at least compared to recent seasons) but it has been majestic nonetheless. We are playing with a level of control back to front I have never seen before in an Arsenal team. We look maturer and more confident than last […]
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 […]
Its finally here, the football season kicks off tonight as we face off against Crystal Palace. After what seems like an age from when we last kicked off against Everton on the 22nd May the football is back. The new shirts are now released; squad numbers have shuffled about, pre season games completed and […]
A new dawn has risen over North London and The Arsenal are in uncharted waters. With the signing of Olly Z, The Arsenal officially became the highest spending team in Europe this summer, reaching £120 million, on top of the £140 million last summer. Upon finding this out Stan ‘Long Pockets’ Kroenke started mumbling to […]
It’s that’s time of year, it’s mid June, the transfer window is open and the Magic Roundabout is here again. Dougal wakes up and proclaims to the world “The Arsenal will sign Jesus tomorrow. He is on a plane back from Brazil as we speak. His medical is this afternoon, he will be announced to […]
The Either/Or Conundrum Mistakes happen everywhere and football is no exception. No big drama, we chin up and move on. What makes it particularly difficult to process is its repetition, over time, as the concept of learning through experience doesn’t apply. We can accept the odd mistake, the brain fart that bears unpleasant consequences but […]
Will it ever happen for Wilo? The more I think about it, the more I tell myself it might not.The French defender is yet to make his debut for the Club, two years after his arrival from Saint-Étienne, and won’t be sporting our colours until next summer, at the earliest.He recently joined OGC Nice in […]
I wish there were 3 A Thomas Partey blog At some point, maybe soon, Arsenal will play with a three man midfield. It may be that we choose 3 actual midfielders or it may be that when we pause the TV we see 3 players in midfield much like when Saka and AMN play, or […]
Just a relatively short hop back in the time machine to the summer of 2001, when Tottenham’s captain crossed the great divide in the most sensational Arsenal transfer of them all. Instantly becoming a Highbury Hero before he had even kicked a ball for us. Yes, it’s Sol Campbell! Sol was a rock at the […]
It was the drop of the shoulder. Yeah, definitely that. The bit of misdirection done by contorting the body with the utmost authentic intent.
