Arsenal’s favourite son Jack hits the road – a fan doubts he’s coming back
By Gary Lawrence I first saw the name Jack Wilshere in the Arsenal programme, where I noticed he had such an impressive goal tally for the under-18’s side. Especially when you consider he was a midfielder, who was doing this while still a schoolboy aged 15. The first time I clapped eyes on him was […]
No sooner has Wenger got the fans relaxed he proceeds to stress them out once more
Destroy. Build. Repeat. We can’t have a stress-free transfer window, can we? The signings of Granit Xhaka, Skhodran Mustafi and Lucas Pérez seemed to finally complete a squad that was desperately calling for reinforcements, but the joy didn’t last much. We just overcame the terrifying idea of Arsène Wenger not replacing the injured pair […]
Alexis a striker interlinking with his supporting cast and a certain youngster may be ‘Holding’ off Mustafi
Well, that was much more like it. An impeccable first half to put Arsenal 3 up and then a less convincing second, but more than enough to claim the three points in the end. Watford away was never going to be a walk in the park, Chelsea nearly lost for a reason, so I’m really […]
We still do make Superstars in N5 – Laurent Koscielny is Arsenal’s New Leader
Since 2010 there have possibly been more lows than highs in N5 with of course the 2014 and 2015 FA Cup wins the 2 highlights. We have seen heroes leave and new heroes arrive and we have broken the club transfer record from pre 2010 now about 5 times. Most of our supporters seem to […]
Watford may lack a sting but we need Ozil back to open the Hornet’s Nest – Preview
Hello. Game week №3 is nearly upon us, which means we are about to see our players don the blue (gray?) and yellow once again, before the international break kicks in. This time around a win for the Gunners is absolutely vital, even though not all players will be available still, to say nothing about the two […]
Nietzsche Knows Best on Wenger – “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”
Arsene arrived at Arsenal on 1st October 1996, under a blaze of overwhelming mockery. The press didn’t know him, the fans didn’t know him and the players didn’t know him. Tony Adams summed up the general consensus; “At first, I thought, What does this Frenchman know about football? He wears glasses and looks more like […]
The German Gunner’s View of the New German Gunner – Shkodran Mustafi

The State Arsenal are in is the State most clubs would love to be in – Don’t Panic
Unfortunately, life at work has been a little slow for the last couple of weeks for me; unfortunate because temptation got the better of me and I opened up Twitter – a platform I’ve avoided majorly for the best part of almost 10 months! Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, nothing has really changed: Wenger in, Wenger out! […]
Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi – What does it mean and where might they fit?
Well perhaps some of the anxiety felt by all honest Arsenal supporters has lessened in the past 24 hours with the imminent signings of Mustafi and Perez. Were they the 2 names on all our lips in June? Probably not but given our start to the season and the defensive injury crisis suffered since then […]
