Emile Smith Rowe is not for sale. Or is he?
There’s something about him that I cannot quite explain.While Bukayo Saka steals the show with his flashy runs and moments of magic, another youngster is quietly stamping his mark on the team.Since his introduction to the starting XI against Chelsea last winter, Emile Smith Rowe has been a mainstay for Mikel Arteta and one of […]
Arteta show faith in Smith Rowe or risk losing him the way of Martinez
The Emile Smith Rowe saga is trundling along, and it seems to be bringing out the usual contradictions in the Arsenal fanbase, on social media at least. Perhaps some of us should step back and consider the irony of simultaneously demanding a Maddison, a Grealish or an Aouar on the one hand whilst declaring faux […]
Atletico sold Partey the Destroyer – in 2021/22 Arsenal will see Partey the true Box to Boxer
Swapping the shirt number from 18 to 5 isn’t the main change for Thomas Partey.The biggest change for the Ghana international happened last summer and I’m not referring to his move to Arsenal from Atletico Madrid: the biggest change for him was going from supporting actor to main lead.Arsenal triggering Thomas Partey’s release clause on […]
Xhaka and Arsenal – A Mutually agreeable parting of the ways?
I was asked On Monday to write about Granit Xhaka leaving Arsenal yesterday and then he performs as he against the World Champions – What timing!

****Harry Kane has never delivered for England when it mattered most*****
Now this is a conversation I have had with my friends over the years, it always crops up around international tournament time and yes that circle includes a Spurs supporting friend who vehemently denies the claim and counters with the accusation I have a bias in my argument. It’s something I would always struggle to […]

Ben White is very likely to be the first signing of the summer.According to many media outlets, the English defender will join from Brighton for a fee between £ 45m and £ 50m, quite an investment.There are too many reports, almost identical, coming out these days not to take this piece of news as legit, […]
Even now, Arsenal’s Young Stars can learn from Cazorla -The Ever Evolving Midfielder.
“We lost a good player, a world class player – I don’t deny that. It is a massive challenge to replace him and therefore we have to be even more of a team and work even more to together to compensate.” Sadly, that Arsene Wenger quote could be applied to many players over many different […]
Southgate needs Saka on the bench tonight
Well, as an Arsenal and England fan, Friday evening can only be described as frustrating in the extreme.
