Arsenal vs. Newcastle United – Premier League preview So, after our adventures in Dubai, we’re back at home with our returning international stars. The interlull is dead; long live the top four/Europa League run-in. We face Newcastle United, and both we and they have points to gain for two differing reasons. We’ve had some […]
Granit Xhaka, at the time of writing on international duty with Switzerland, has been under some scrutiny given some comments he’s made lately. He said the following in an interview with Swiss newspaper Tagablatt: “I’m very ambitious, I want to take the next step, Arsenal does not have to be the last stop.” This has […]
It’s no secret that Arsenal’s defence has come under much scrutiny in recent seasons, but their reported interest in Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka highlights the Gunners are looking at the right calibre of player at least. The 21-year-old has been a revelation since he made the first-team at Selhurst Park, and interest is expected […]
The business end of the season starts here. After an exciting international break, if you are an England fan, the Premier League returns and there is so much to play for still for so many teams. I think there are only two or three teams with nothing to play for really. You could argue that […]

So let’s do another news-round-up, of intriguing events over the recent period. UEFA Europa League – Rennes win, Napoli is next, and the King of […]
Arsenal strengthen chances of a top four finish There is little doubt that the main aim for Emery at the start of the season was to ensure the club is playing Champions league football next season. The Gunners can still qualify through the Europa league and recently secured their progression to the next round following […]
‘Never put bullets in your enemies gun’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES It must be tempting. You are taught as a professional to give nothing to the media. It seems like most every time a player does or says something to inflame the game, it backfires. Players should not need extra motivation but I’m a guy […]
Arsenal vs. Stade Rennais – Europa League preview (1-3 agg) After the United win, we have another tough task in this 2nd leg of the Round of 16. Rennes bossed us up at their place, though their efforts were boosted by our failings. Some good news here is that Lacazette is available, as […]
