And the Award for the best team at Euro 2016 goes to ……. Arsenal!!
And the best team at the Euros are… What a great Euros it has been for Arsenal players. What I will argue here is that Arsenal as a club have had the best performing players at the tournament as a whole. With Giroud scoring three goals and helping France get themselves to the final, surely […]
Arsene and his transfers Part 1 – Exclusive truth behind Takuma Asano signing
Arsene and his transfers- Part Un January 31st, 2016. It was a misty morning as Arsene drove through London on his way to meeting the newest signing of the transfer window. It had been a hard couple of days since the window opened, he regularly checked Twitter on his secret account regularly. @LondonisRed96 was not […]
A freer role for Ramsey with Draxler in the side – How might it look?
Aaron Ramsey had a blinder at Euro 2016. Leading Wales to an unexpected semi-final (albeit one he was unfortunately suspended from) and standing out in every match he played in. He ended with stats of 5 appearances 4 assists and 1 goal, in my eyes he’s been the best Arsenal player at the tournament (Koscielny […]
Is Wenger Bold enough to make tough decisions for a new Arsenal formation?
Our dear Dave (@Goonerdave66) recently turned 50 (Happy Birthday!) and decided to celebrate with the 1,579,698,741,258th tweet about how Arsène Wenger should turn to a 4-3-1-2 formation to take the best out of Alexis Sánchez, Olivier Giroud, our plethora of anarchist central midfielders and our full backs. Although personally never a fan of such system, […]
Ramsey and Giroud both take the plaudits as 4 Gunners fire 3 Countries to Semis
Howdy. So the quarter-finals of the European championship in France are behind us and I find myself at something of a crossroads, as only 2 out of 4 were actually entertaining. Poland vs Portugal was a complete drag, while the much-anticipated Germany vs Italy may have a tactical masterclass from Lowe, Conte, or both, but […]
Bye-bye Europe. Woy and Dave’s Not So Excellent Adventures
We’re a bit insular in our country. What’s the difference between Cameron & Hodgson? One led a failed campaign to stay in Europe and then resigned, the other…..oh!!!! So there you have it, England are out of Europe twice in four days and Hodgson joins Cameron in deserting a sinking ship. Neither had a plan […]
Arsenal’s Three Captain Fantastics – Part 3
By Gary Lawrence TONY ADAMS I thought We’d never see another Arsenal captain as influential and inspiring as Joe Mercer or Frank McLintock. But 10 years after Bertie Mee made his most calamitous decision as Arsenal manager, selling Frank McLintock to QPR. Tony Adams arrived on the scene. I was there at Highbury in November […]
Arsenal’s Three Captain Fantastics – Part Two!
By Gary Lawrence FRANK McLINTOCK Frank was born in Glasgow and grew up fast living in the Gorbals, where you soon learnt how to look after yourself. He was a talented young player and Leicester City signed him at 17 in 1956. His mother insisted that before she gave her consent for Frank to go […]
Arsenal’s Three Captain Fantastics – Part 1
By Gary Lawrence There have been so many Arsenal captains over the course of the club’s history. From the very first, one of the founding fathers of the club David Danskin, right up to Mikel Arteta. There have been some very successful ones such as Patrick Vieira, and Alex James. Wee Alec is probably the […]
An Inspiration – The Force is with Hans but not for Tottenham (Phew!)
Being a woman in a predominantly man’s domain is never easy, though things are slowly becoming better and easier through better exposure and support. And yet it will take a long time before we see any kind of true balance between the sexes (I’m referring to equal opportunity rather than equality as many use it). […]
