‘Sort of’ surplus to Arsenal requirements Aaron
‘A few weeks before we sort of agreed and I was ready to sign’, Aaron Ramsey told the always enjoyable Amy Lawrence, yet he didn’t put pen to paper. By the sound of it, everyone was happy with the outcome of the negotiations and Aaron Ramsey looked set to extend his stay in North London […]
Unai Emery’s game plan revealed? Positives, Needs and Hopes
People are talking. I think they are right. I think that Unai Emery’s game plan is to feel out the opponent in the first half, taking less risks, and win the game in the second half with his smart tactical mind and a fitter team. It has happened too often to not be a thing. […]
It’s 2018 FFS
It is 2018, Snowflake. Hi @Nacho-Monreal. My 6 year old son asked me, why you are called Nacho and do you promote unhealthy salted snacks. I said I don’t know and I don’t know.

Aaron Ramsey is all that remains of Arsenal’s British core
Under a sunny Swiss sky in 2008, at a café near Basel, Arsène Wenger made his pitch. And a young, 17-year-old Welshman listened.

We have our Arsenal back? Maybe (part 2)

Emery and Ozil turn zero points to 3…. Positives, Needs and Hopes
As it should be, a coach of a top side equips his lacklustre team at half time to have new ideas. Transforms and swings the game from east to west. Mr Emery, you impressed. Puel may have found a great tactical plan first half but when it mattered your decisions completely swung the game. Also, […]
Arsenal 3-1 Leicester City – Premier League review
Started off slow but out “Foxed” Leicester. This game showed a similar pattern to that of the Watford, Everton, and West Ham games. Leicester clearly had a game plan, which was to press us high up the pitch, and it worked to a good degree. Again, we started slow, and then grew into and […]
The Ramsey Hole: Who Can Replace Aaron When He Leaves?
Ramsey replacements? Ramsey has recently said that he will stay for the season’s remainder. He confirmed that the club has retracted a contract offer, but he intends to work hard and knuckle down. The situation is a peculiar one, and possibly there is no little way back for Ramsey at Arsenal now. The club […]

Unai Emery’s Red Army ready to back Arsenal’s new manager.
Winter is coming… There’s a bizarre feeling rippling out of its epicentre of N5 at the moment; “We’ve got our Arsenal back!” The above was sang in unison and gusto during the 5-1 win on the banks of the Thames last weekend. It might have upset some of the armchair followers of Arsenal who are […]
