Football Stars and endorsements Athletes are extremely influential. A recognizable face in sports can go a very long way in promoting a product or a service. Having a marketable sporting figure can dramatically increase a company’s profit. On the other side, for the athlete, agreeing to endorsement deals can improve public persona, revenue and create […]
I believe top four could be back Yes. the thing we were locked for and got pissed off with getting every year is now back on our radar. Irony aside, there are several reasons why I’m feeling more confident this year. We are: Addressing long-standing faults Our midfield balance is […]
Do we need a wide-man? It’s often said these days that we need a winger, or a general wide man. I can see why this is said. Last year, we often played sideways football in front of the opposing defence, looking for the telling opening. However, I don’t think a winger would solve this. […]
The Arsenal season kicks off soon, in just under a months time in fact, with the home game against Manchester City. This will provide a chance for Arsenal fans to finally see a competitive Unai Emery, Gunners team in action. As with every new season, it will be filled with excitement and anticipation for what […]

While transfers still represent a big part of the talk surrounding the Arsenal, I would draw your attention to a couple of players who […]

How excited are you to be an Arsenal player? Torreira: Thanks a lot! I feel very happy. I want to make the most of this opportunity life has […]

Unusually our club find themselves in a position where many of the key players were not involved in Russia and are all back and working with Emery and […]
