Just perhaps the sequence of events went something like this………………. A German player fed up with the annual Arsenal implosion and no one getting on the end of his wonderful passes after January, tells his boss he wants out in May. The German player’s agent knowing his client’s boss and employer will not sell to […]
Half time shows- you can either love them or hate them. The concept has made its way over from the States who do half time entertainment like no other. A halftime show consists of a performance taking place between the first and second halves of a game and is not typically given to sports that […]
According to the Telegraph, Ozil has been quoted by Kicker magazine in Germany saying “I feel very, very good with Arsenal and have shown my willingness to extend my contract with the club. The fans want me to stay. Now it’s down to the club. The club know that I’m here above all because of […]

But it’s also reminded me that 140 characters can be misunderstood and doesn’t allow for clarity and explanation and some time to think. So […]
Good day, fellow Gooners! I hope you had an excellent Christmas & New Year break and enjoyed the encouraging wins against West Brom and Crystal Palace. It must be said that we weren’t at our best in terms of performance and quality of our football but those six points did a lot of good; it’s […]
Some interesting information can be gleaned from an article by John Stanton of BBC. He poses some topical questions – is Wenger a reluctant spender? Has his second decade been a let-down? Has he transformed our national game? How will he be judged? On the silverware front he follows just one manager – Alex Ferguson. […]
This blog is written for one purpose and one purpose only, namely, to celebrate the goal that ended with big man Ollie staring at the giant screen in amazement after scoring the goal of 2017 on the first day of the year. We can break the goal down to each integral piece of the puzzle […]
