Bring on the Title Race: After Naughty November, Dominant December (almost!)
Order was restored after a tumultuous November. Arsenal, in typical fashion recovered from their blip in form winning five out of the six games they played in the last month of 2015.

Le Groan on Le Loan – Is the system failing for Arsenal as 2 return?
Silly season is here….run, Gooners! At a time when online media throw names around to win the click-bait war, in a quite ridiculous crescendo that saw the Arsenal linked to Alexandr Kororin, Troy Deeney, Javier Hernandez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in deals going from £3m up to £60m, I would like to concentrate on some transfers […]
‘Title-winning sides win ugly when playing badly…’

The Ozil show continues to dazzle this week as Gunners hit the summit at halfway
It was such a refreshing performance. It’s a beautiful life folks. Manchester City have done us a favour by drawing with Leicester because that means we are top of the Premier League at the start of 2016 and that City are 3 points off the pace completely. I wonder what might have been if we […]
Wenger’s Way is Back in Fashion – SUSTAINABLE – CONSISTENCY – STABILITY
At this time of year you naturally tend to reflect on the year just gone and what lies ahead. So let me indulge myself. A serious read so you need to be sitting down! Given the recent cult of the ‘superstar’ manager and how many of us have become swayed by their influence and supposed […]
