Wenger’s all time worst buys for The Arsenal – The Unlucky 13!!
After the ‘Best Arsene Wenger Arsenal Signings’ post, I just had to do a ‘worst signings’ post. And again, entirely subjective; these are my own opinions and factor in the transfer fee paid, their impact (or lack of) on the team and the general ‘meh’ that I felt when they were announced. Or they […]

A Blog in Defence of the BFG – Per Mertesacker
Per Mertesacker, the BFG. The whole season I have mostly seen complaints about the German with compliments far and few between. The complaints mostly comprise the following: He’s too slow. He’s too slow. He’s too slow. He’s too slow, people say he makes it up with his intelligence… but he’s too slow for me. Some […]

The rotation of Cazorla/Wilshere and Ramsey/Ox holds the key to success in 15/16
Arsenal’s 2014/2015 season in many ways has flirted with stability and merited praise. Aside recording back to back cup success, it has ensured sustainability in the team’s form, which sprung to life in the wake of the 2-0 win at the Etihad in January. This could be down to the change in approach (from controlling […]
Cech’s signing speaks not only about Arsene’s intentions, it also shows he has rediscovered his ruthless touch
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I last wrote. Unfortunately, it’ll be the case for the entire month of July, as I’ve decided to gain a bit of working experience and thus took up work as an intern for a firm providing legal services. Ah well, I guess I had to do it at […]
The Transfer Window is open and Arsenal’s Business is concluded
Yay, Gooners, the transfer window is open! Too bad we already finished our business by signing Petr Čech… Yes, I do believe our squad is complete already: we added a reliable, experienced and the points-winning goalkeeper we have been lacking since David Seaman. The Czech will provide some extra security to our back line and […]

Hello again, loyal readers. After some all night bartering, with negotiations reaching a delicious climax as the summer sun slowly submerged ‘neath the horizon with a shimmering ‘adieu’, I was re-signed for Gunners Town for the princely sum of a packet of ‘Nice ‘n’ Spicy’ Nik-Naks and a barely touched can of Tizer.
