Player power hits Arsenal The Gunners has been immune, to some degree, from the major player power incidents of other top English clubs. United has the Paul Pogba matter, and Chelsea has had numerous incidents in recent seasons. So it seems – with captain Laurent Koscielny’s refusal to participate in the USA tour […]
LOOK AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU MIGHT SEE HOPE’ Well, I wasn’t expecting that. The first pre-season game is normally a mess, full of mistakes and general rustiness. That is not what happened at all. Arsenal were very sharp and completely dominant against a team in mid-season. A team with an average age of […]
Today sees the launch of a campaign to make Stan Kroenke and KSE sit up and take notice at the concerns of the majority of the Arsenal fans. This has not been effective or possible in the past because the fan base and the influential groups who represent, write or talk about our great football […]

I’ve been as rueful towards Shkodran Mustafi as any other fan. Yes, he won the World Cup with Germany. Current and past players of Arsenal were in the same side, such as Mertesacker, Ozil, and Podolski. However, he’s made numerous errors in his Arsenal tenure. And in crucial games to boot – Kun Aguero […]
Yesterday I posted a tweet saying I wished David Dein was still conducting Arsenal’s transfer affairs. This caused quite a reaction with fans either agreeing or mentioning all the bad things they considered he did to the club. There is no doubt he made plenty of mistakes along the way.

ONE GIANT LEAP TO EQUALITY IN FOOTBALL Six years after leaping over a Pride barrier to march with the UK’s first LGBT+ football fan group, an Arsenal season-ticket holder is organising the club’s biggest-ever Pride appearance.
