Our record signing Nicolas Pepe got the win here, with two wonderfully executed free-kicks at the death. But overall, it was another limp performance. Yes, we won, and we should be happy with that. And Vitoria Guimaraes was not here to lie down or be the accessory. They pressed us well and passed well through our midfield. However, […]
I have just read Michael McDonalds excellent article. I agree with a lot of what he says and I too am happy with our `behind the door` team in relation to the procuring of top class players. I am also very pleased at the progress of our young players. We had one of our banana […]
‘The Points, the Table, the Fixtures or the Games’ Before every game I pick the team in my head. Before every transfer window I pick who I’d sell and buy too. Every once in a while I imagine what I’d do if I was Raul, Vinai and Edu. I sit here tonight thinking about the […]
Sheffield United vs. Arsenal – PL preview – Monday 21st October 2019 – Bramall Lane, Sheffield. Time to end once and for all our away day “rustiness” in the Steel City We’re off to the Steel City on Monday. Our away form has been rusty over the past few seasons, but then this can […]

Assumption #1: Unai Emery doesn’t favor using a player in the hole. Assumption #2: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left-wing is a waste. CONCLUSION: Play 4-4-2! It sounds easy and is perhaps a bit simplistic but it’s also very fascinating and could solve some of our problems, especially up high on the pitch. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s best […]

Back in 2003-04, Arsenal scaled a seemingly insurmountable peak when they went through an entire league season unbeaten, earning themselves the nickname of the ‘Invincibles’ and pocketing another Premier League crown. However, since then, the Gunners haven’t managed to […]
I have read most of the articles written by people in recent weeks and I am struck by the impact of Acadamy youngsters and good acquisitions such as Pepe and Ceballos We are now in 3rd place which in my judgement will be our final place. Many fans have stated their opinions on how new players […]
‘WHAT MATTERS?’ The points and performance debate…. No argument that the points matter. They matter more than the performance. That’s not what this question is about though. It’s about how the present is making us feel about the future. It’s fair to also say that Emery has been given the squad to produce far better […]
Was Arsenal’s summer transfer season really a success? On the 30th of September, Arsenal clashed swords with Manchester United under unrelenting Mancunian skies, hoping to lay down its first significant marker of the Premier League season. However, they failed to do so as Unai Emery’s men crawled to a tame stalemate. The Gunners, despite finding […]
