Emery’s New English Lions, Nketiah’s Chance and the Fornals/Pepe links putting pressure on his creative players ahead of the January Window – Part 1
International breaks can be rather dull and more so these days with little Arsenal interest, certainly from an England perspective.

Crime Watch – Arsenal Edition
Now to the horrific attack on a taxi driver in the centre of Copenhagen in early September. The middle aged driver had picked up his last ride of the night, who he described as blonde, 6 ft tall, sort of athletic looking and that he referred to himself as ‘Lord’. When he had stopped and […]
Double NLD Incoming! How does Arsenal Compare to Sp*rs Right Now?
Combined Arsenal-Tottenham XI The games upcoming between us and them will be key, no matter what. It’s Tottenham. The scum – the enemy. The club near to us that haven’t won a title in nearly sixty years. I believe we can finish above them for top four – but facing them twice in succession has […]

Arsenal entered the international break having snatched a late 1-1 draw against a dogged and determined Wolves side who had a claim for all three points in north London. Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s late cross-shot cancelled out Ivan Cavaleiro’s first-half opener at Emirates Stadium. It’s now 3 games without a victory for Arsenal, who’d won 7 […]
