Sorry Liverpool but voiding the season – it could be the best option now
I like Liverpool. They are a club with a great history and have had many top players. Sir Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Graeme Souness, Steve Nicol, Alan Hansen, Steve MacManaman, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, and more currently Mo Sahah and Sadio Mane all were/are top quality. Thirty years is a long […]
Build Your Arsenal 2020/21 Squad: 9 in, 9 out, £30M budget (plus sales)
Build your Arsenal 20/21 squad! What if you were the decision maker this summer? Sell Bellerin or trust him to find his game? Patience with Guendouzi or cash in to find a different profile? Lacazette was player of the year 18/19. Sell one year later? Spend most of your money on Jadon Sancho or find […]
It’s time to scrap the Offside Rule.
It’s time to scrap the offside rule. In the Premier League season 2019/20, VAR was supposed to take care of the incorrect offside decisions that plagued previous seasons. Officials were told to delay marginal offside decisions where there was a clear and obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Play was allowed to continue until the current phase of […]
Nabil Fekir to Arsenal makes sense but Carlos Soler less so – Today’s rumours assessed
In today’s transfer rumours Arsenal, whilst linked to Chris Smalling quite heavily, have also been linked with two midfielders, both playing their trade in La Liga. Whenever, or if ever the 2019/20 season does draw to a close, there seems little doubt we will see considerable movement in and out of North London. In one […]
The Very Best of Arsenal at The Emirates Era – Part 1
As a lack of football and Arsenal continues and times look bleak, we at GT decided we would do a three part special on our memories so far of the Emirates era, 14 years after moving to Ashburton Grove from Highbury. It would be fairly safe to say I think that no one is placing […]
Is Emile Smith-Rowe ready to fight for Ozil’s Shirt? – The New style of 10 Arsenal need?
With the speculation ever present on the enigma that is Mesut Ozil and his future at the club, there will logically have to be equal speculation on who might occupy the 10 or central attacking midfield role if the German were to depart. That is, of course, assuming that Arteta intends to persist with a […]
Arsenal and the trip to Magaluf [Positive Needs and Hopes]
Arsenal and the trip to Magaluf (End of Part one of 19/20) I was trying to think of what Part 1 of Arsenal’s season reminded me of…. Back in 1995 my mates and I booked a trip to Magaluf. We were 21. No parents. We were all moderately good looking. Let’s go! The trip started […]
2020 Arsenal needs more than just a Reboot -It needs new hardware and an anti-virus scan!
A certain then CEO of Arsenal said – “catalyst for change” in 2017. Most thought this statement was accurate. But he – that is Mr. Gazidis – was widely mocked for it since come the following 17/18 season, little had seemingly changed. Arsenal was, is, and will be, amongst the biggest and best British football […]
Next Season’s Arsenal: ruthlessly balancing the team, while carefully balancing the books
Next Season’s Arsenal Better for Nothing How do you improve Arsenal’s team for the 20/21 season? Can you do it and end up with a zero balance? This wasn’t my goal, but this is what has happened. Read on….. I’m a bit of a dreamer. I love to wonder. Being a football fan my wonderings […]
The Premier League Relegation Battle – When we resume, with 9 or 10 to play
The Premier League relegation battle with 10 games to go, (Or 9 for some!!) Despite Liverpool’s recent slip-up against Watford, the top of the table has been decided for some time, but the battle to stay in the top-flight is much closer and as things stand, the football betting suggests 7 teams have odds of […]
