ARSENAL CIRCULAR 130 Judge at the end of the season, not now. There are still 45 points at stake. If, like me, you support the manager and want him to come through and win something significant this season – more than the FA Cup – you have to answer some awkward questions. That is how […]
Sentimentality Killed the Cat? Ultimately, 2 fundamental errors cost us yesterday. A la Lehmann in Paris, The BFG didn’t need to make the tackle.

Less sexy than Messi and less dramatic than Sanchez: the present references to Serge Gnabry remind us about Wenger’s commitment to give players a chance. There are different views among Arsenal followers about his track record… Some point to Cygan, Senderos, Denilson and Bendtner as examples of excess faith – Wenger , it is argued, gave […]
