Bravo Hector Bellerin – We Gooners should be proud that you do not ‘just stick to football!’
I read the full transcript of Hector Bellerin’s long interview with Arsenal official website, where he spoke about a wide range of topics that go beyond football and, like many others; I was impressed by the maturity shown by this 23-year old boy, who sounds very conscious of the bigger picture. I won’t go into […]

Play Iwobi and Drop Ramsey – The Good Habit of winning without once playing well for 90 minutes
The close friendship between happiness and frustration Positives, Needs and Hopes. I am so happy that we are winning the games that we do not necessarily deserve to.

Play with a Legend’s Nigel Winterburn reveals 97/98 to be the greatest Arsenal team he played in
Last Sunday ahead of the Everton match, thanks to ‘Play with a Legend’ I was able to not only play a small sided football match with some fellow fans at the AFC Community Hub, but also to meet and play against Arsenal hero. Nigel ‘Nutty’ Winterburn. I could barely walk for a few days but […]
Arsenal’s Cojones ‘Holding’ Out for an Ugly win beautified latterly by Star Man Iwobi
Arsenal 2-0 Watford – review We had the “cojones” today. We are neighbours in some senses. Our training grounds are adjacent, and Hertfordshire (their home county) borders Greater London.

Ramsey going and Arsenal’s withdrawal…..what to make of this new development.
Ramsey is leaving? Is there a reason why the club withdrew its offer? I’m not sure what to think of this Ramsey situation. I have several thoughts on this issue, which transcend a number of areas. But I’m not really bothered about Ramsey going. It’s not to say I don’t rate him. I […]
Sokratis returns but Rob should be Holding on to his place for the visit of Watford
We will be looking to extend our winning streak to 5 leagues games and 7 overall when hosting Watford today. A task made harder than usual by the Bees’ surprisingly excellent form up to date: Xavi Gracia’s team are on 13 points after 6 games, losing one (to United) and drawing one (to Fulham last […]

The King is Dead but is Emery so far just just the same Emperor in New Clothes? – Has anything changed yet?
The following is a guest blog from a GT reader Chris Ferguson (@ChrisFergy) who is not buying the Emery transition so far…… Six games in and 12 weeks on the training ground. Where are we and we have we seen and learned to date? Before I get to that, I’d like to mention […]
The Brentford Win showed Emery’s attacking plan – The Arsenal 10 Role is now a Decoy role. Read on for Last night’s Positives, hopes and needs
A little swagger adds clarity to Emery’s attacking plan… Positives, Needs and Hopes I think I am starting to figure it out. It has not been clear so far, what our attacking plan is. It has made some fans doubt that Emery is even capable. Here is what I saw against Brentford. The attacking midfield […]
