Arsenal – ‘Great Pretenders’ or genuine ‘Title Contenders’ – Do we have the ‘Guts?’
Steven Howard in today’s Sun continues with his critical note about our prospects to win the Title. He calls us “The Great Pretenders”. It makes for a good headline but in fairness to him he makes a point that is on the minds of all of us. Have we got the inner strength? Can we […]

Ramsey/Flamini Partnership the Flaw in Anfield Draw but Olly and Joel Shine once more
When the final whistle blew on Monday, I experienced a mixed bag of emotions: disappointed we couldn’t hold on, angry at being completely overplayed in midfield, glad we escaped the game without injuries.

The pressure for the break came, originally, from the weather. […]

Hi everyone. I suspect it will be a short one today, despite the scale of the fixture – mainly because as I’m writing this the arrows on the clock are inching towards 10 p.m. on a Monday. It wouldn’t be such as issue had I not been forced to put in only 5 hours of […]

Will the Gunners firmly end Klopp’s Honeymoon Period with Liverpool Fans?
Arsenal’s visit to Anfield on Wednesday kick starts a run of games that will be crucial in determining the strength of Arsenal’s title challenge this season.
