From disheartening to depressing to enlightening: a Gooner’s journey to Arsenal Optimism
Disheartening, Depressing, Enlightening To be brutally honest, this is the first time in about six or seven years, with the new season about to start, that I actually have some real optimism. Wenger’s decline was disheartening. Unai’s one and a half years were depressing. Arteta’s 6 months have been enlightening. It helps that Saturday’s kick […]
“He’s a Tony Adams type”- Can Daniel Ballard be our 1st Homegrown Centre Back since Captain Fantastic
The next subject in my series on Arsenal Youth Stars is Daniel Ballard, recently in the news for making his debut for Northern Ireland before taking his first team bow for Arsenal.

Why Saka should not be rushed – not for Arsenal and certainly not for England!
Saka too young for England For those questioning why other young players are being selected for Southgate’s England, perhaps such as Foden or Greenwood, ahead of our own revelation Bukayo Saka, I say be careful what you wish for.

The Evolution of the Premier League since 1992/93
1992 was a milestone year for the English Premier League. The highly commercialized league was to make a break from the past once and for all.
