Willian to wander in Grealish role as Arsenal take on Fulham in season opener? (+ Predicted/Preferred Lineups)
Willian as Grealish I don’t think that the first line up of the season is too tricky to guess. It looks like Leno will start after the Martinez move. It’s unlikely that Saliba AND Gabriel start, so with many CB’s out injured/just returning/about to be sold, its highly likely we go with Tierney. The 3-4-3 has been […]

Martinez to get the nod vs Fulham? An in depth review of our two outstanding goalkeepers
Over the years, goalkeepers such as Almunia, Fabianski, Mannone and Ospina were all simply not good enough. Szczesny certainly had potential but was far too rash, impulsive and didn’t command his area. And Cech never provided us with the desired consistency which was required and made frequent mistakes, particularly in his penultimate season (2017/18) with […]

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

It Started with a Tweet but is Mattéo Guendouzi on the path to Arsenal Redemption
It started with a tweet: We haven’t seen a character like Mattéo Guendouzi for quite some time at the Arsenal, have we?For years, we’ve been served well-mannered, cool-headed guys who would never dare to disagree – at least not publicly; there was the Xhaka saga, with the Swiss player lashing out at fans before being […]

Ask the readers… Part 2 Many thanks for the reaction to Part 1. Here it is if you haven’t read it… Here is Part 2….. Predicted line up? The whole squad isn’t visible here, but this is my guess at what Arteta wants. If we make all the sales we want to, this is […]
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. When you question the elevation of Ainsley Maitland-Niles over Saka, just rewind a few weeks and […]
