In the stats driven world we live in, when it comes to attacking players on the pitch, goals and assists are your bread and butter. Often when it comes to comparing players against each other, comparing players based on their own previous campaigns, or seeing how valuable one player is to an individual team goal […]
It’s a mild November morning I wake up and the first thing I do is reach for my phone and Google “Arsenal”. I see the usual spam transfer stories about how we’re going to sign Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe; however the headline ‘Arsenal youth player scores 10 goals for U16 side in 14-3 thrashing of […]
A – So, Southgate picks his squad to underachieve at the Euros. Major talking point should be: No Grealish, No Maddison. But No. What does the renowned (?) Irish defender Kevin Kilbane focus on: “Watch Saka during the Euros. He’ll be limping off with 20 minutes to go and then a doubt for the next […]

How are you feeling about this summer transfer window when it comes to Arsenal? Often fans can be found at one end of a spectrum or the other. Either feeling excited, dreaming of what might be possible, or feeling pessimistic, doubting the clubs ability to do what these fans deem necessary to improve the squad. […]

For a while, there seemed to be a debate on whether the target to improve the first 11 should be a left sided 8, now Havertz has moved further forward, or a defensive midfielder now that Rice has […]
Pedro Neto is one of the most exciting players in the Premier League, and one who seems to be linked with a move to N5 in every transfer window that passes us by. Here, I make the case of why singing the electric wide man WOULD be a good idea for the club this summer. […]
‘Football love’ An End of Season review I think that at the age of 50 I am at a place where I know what true love is. I thought that I loved people and found out that I didn’t when I met the real one. I’ve got three children and if that doesn’t help you […]
