How Will Arsenal Fare With An Increasing Injury List?
Arsenal is powering their way through the Champions League, but not without issues. As well as many injured players, could Arsenal’s manager be getting cold feet? Arsene Wenger has admitted that he had been repeatedly courted for the PSG job, conceding that their president Nasser al-Khelafi had offered him the job on three separate occasions. […]
Alexis, Perez, Giroud, Iwobi, Walcott and Chamberlain – Which 3 from 6 v Saints?
Hello everyone. Club football is back again and thank Christ for that. It feels like every Interlull is worse than the previous. I’m sure that’s my memory playing tricks on me, there’s no obvious reason why the breaks could be getting increasingly frustrating, but there you go. Anyway, we have a delicious Saturday of footy […]

Analysis suggests Perez brings more to Arsenal than Vardy or Lacazette would have
A common theme seems to be occurring with myself and Arsenal signings, which is I know very little about them.

The Midfield Pairing to back is Cazorla and Xhak – That is the Short and Tall of it!
I don’t know about you guys, but I will be the first to admit that I came to support Arsenal quite by chance when I was 13. Back then I knew little of club football, except for this Ruud van Nistelrooy jersey that an aunt had bought me. I also had a Ronaldo jersey, the […]

Leaked document reveals new Emirates statues planned for coming year – EXCLUSIVE!
I had a conversation on Twitter yesterday about what constitutes a legend in Arsenal terms and in the conversation the possibility of the next Gunner great to be cast in bronze at the Emirates was raised. It brought to mind a blog I wrote in February 2013 for my old site. It was written around […]
Why Wenger’s legacy may surpass that of Chapman
For a while now I have been beset with doubts about my continued love of football and appreciation of winning, both of which seem to run along quite nicely till we reach the block of unyielding, mostly unbending support of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger on the whole. At that point my philosophy of life begins […]
VaVaVoom Gunners – The Return of the Direct, Pacey and Skillful Arsenal we have missed
Soon the international break will finally be over and Premier League football returns and the upcoming encounter with Southampton will tell a lot about the way Arsène Wenger wants the team to play, this season. Against Liverpool, Leicester City and Watford it was mainly the fitness levels that dictated the line-up, with some key players […]
