I feel sorry for Arsenal An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Is sympathy an emotion that a football fan should feel? Aren’t we supposed to be elated or disgusted? Well, I feel sorry for us. I’m sure at the end of the season that I will write a piece sharing all of the emotions […]
Is Nico Williams actually a Martinelli replacement? In recent transfer windows, Arsenal have been linked with supposed left-wing upgrades, and this is the case now as well.
