Arsenal’s decision to sign Declan Rice from West Ham for a club-record fee was a serious statement of intent by the Gunners. More than just a defensive-minded midfielder, Rice is very much the complete package, blending physicality with intelligence. He’s a defensive shield that can also drive the team forward. Since arriving at the Emirates, […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, well…we are getting used to this, aren’t we? Another game, another win and another dominant display from our girls, who made light work of Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Without it, it would’ve been much harder to become an Arsenal writer. Diving into Twitter on days […]
Sleeping in UpsideDownWorld An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, I watched the game at my former boss’ house. I always wished he wasn’t my boss because we get along so well and watching football with him is fun. He’s a Liverpool fan. We don’t often go to his house but I took almost […]
A different band of brothers An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Every once in a while, and really not very often, Arsenal’s impressive band of brothers send out their actual brothers to play instead.

Portuguese full-back, Nuno Tavares, has recently secured a loan move to Italian giants Lazio from Arsenal.
