It’s time to scrap the offside rule. In the Premier League season 2019/20, VAR was supposed to take care of the incorrect offside decisions that plagued previous seasons. Officials were told to delay marginal offside decisions where there was a clear and obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Play was allowed to continue until the current phase of […]
In today’s transfer rumours Arsenal, whilst linked to Chris Smalling quite heavily, have also been linked with two midfielders, both playing their trade in La Liga. Whenever, or if ever the 2019/20 season does draw to a close, there seems little doubt we will see considerable movement in and out of North London. In one […]
As a lack of football and Arsenal continues and times look bleak, we at GT decided we would do a three part special on our memories so far of the Emirates era, 14 years after moving to Ashburton Grove from Highbury. It would be fairly safe to say I think that no one is placing […]
With the speculation ever present on the enigma that is Mesut Ozil and his future at the club, there will logically have to be equal speculation on who might occupy the 10 or central attacking midfield role if the German were to depart. That is, of course, assuming that Arteta intends to persist with a […]
Arsenal and the trip to Magaluf (End of Part one of 19/20) I was trying to think of what Part 1 of Arsenal’s season reminded me of…. Back in 1995 my mates and I booked a trip to Magaluf. We were 21. No parents. We were all moderately good looking. Let’s go! The trip started […]

Arsenal was, is, and will be, amongst the biggest and best British football […]
Next Season’s Arsenal Better for Nothing How do you improve Arsenal’s team for the 20/21 season? Can you do it and end up with a zero balance? This wasn’t my goal, but this is what has happened. Read on….. I’m a bit of a dreamer. I love to wonder. Being a football fan my wonderings […]
The Premier League relegation battle with 10 games to go, (Or 9 for some!!) Despite Liverpool’s recent slip-up against Watford, the top of the table has been decided for some time, but the battle to stay in the top-flight is much closer and as things stand, the football betting suggests 7 teams have odds of […]
It finally happened. The Premier League has been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, and rightly public health has trumped our commonly-loved past time. But there are other points to ponder – such as below. The Premier League announced that they would have a hall of fame, and will announce two initial figures in […]
Someone actually posted on social media the other day that it has been over a thousand days since Arsenal last lifted the FA Cup. Which stands out as an honour that has been passed around the country from Manchester to London over the past few years. Yes, there may have been other pit stops over […]
