This post is a little premature; but, the combination of my disinclination towards transfer rumors, trying to get into the mind of Arsene Wenger to offer opinion on squad requirements, and the close season, I thought I’d address an event that is inevitable: Arsene Wenger leaving Arsenal Football Club. This is post that is broken […]
Who will be next season’s surprise Superstar? 2013/14 Ramsey, 2014/15 Coquelin, 2015/16 ???
One thing I look forward to every season is which player, who was previously doubted will step up to the plate and make himself undroppable. We tend to have this scenario every year and what I love is that it’s always in a position we need someone to step up in most. The obvious most recent […]
Ozil does not need to be the Arsenal Number 10 to use the space that a 10 Exploits
My axe first came to be ground shortly after England’s exit in Brazil during the World Cup when a national news station claimed England’s failings were due to a lack of a number 10! I then got further angst when the Arsenal twitterverse jumped on the #playOzil@10 bandwagon. I was finally forced to the power […]
“Can we genuinely challenge for the title with Arteta being our captain?”
As I impatiently sat on my phone all day refreshing my twitter feed waiting for the “official” media pictures of Čech in an Arsenal kit, I came across a GIF of Mikel Arteta and Per Mertesacker lifting the FA Cup. While normally seeing your club’s captain lifting any trophy (except for the Emirates Cup of […]
Arsenal’s targets are slipping away from us…or are they?
I’ll tell you something you’d probably never believe: in a way, Twitter ruined me. Yes, I got the sense of not being alone by joining it and I’m happy I did. But there’s a downside (isn’t there always?): I now find it really hard to formulate a definitive opinion on something. I like to call […]
Young Guns (Go for it!) – Part 1 of a look at Arsenal Young troubleshooters
Well last weeks piece seemed to poke the hornets nest in Middlesex. It’s amazing how p!ssed off they get when you mention that that aren’t actually from London and then they resort to ranting about Woolwich and descend into homophobic slander about our players. I for one, have no issue with and am proud of […]
Poldi aims to prove himself at Arsenal – Credible or Deluded?
“My qualities suit Arsenal”. Famous words said by Lukas Podolski in his interview with German newspaper Bild about his future earlier this week. But is he right? Are we in no need to look out for a new central forward? Do we have another internal solution like we had with Coq last January? Or is […]
Arsenal’s 1st Summer Signing Revealed in Silly Season Diary Part 1 – You have never ‘Vlad’ it so good!
Right, let’s cut to the chase here. No sooner had your liver recovered from that glorious FA Cup Final weekend than our old friend the Silly Season reared its ugly head. It starts slowly, with the odd tweet about who we should buy or sell, that kind of thing, then BANG! All of a sudden […]
A Gooner’s View of Other Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season – Part 6
Hi everyone. This is part six of my series of blogs about the status of the Premiership Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season following the conclusion of the League season. In this blog, I’ll be focusing on Swansea City and Southampton. Of course, all of this is my own opinion, so feel free to disagree and […]
Ayresome Park May 6th 1989 – Unlikey Hero Martyn Hayes keeping Arsenal’s Title Hopes Alive
Welcome back to my weekly fix of nostalgia which looks at significant goals in Arsenal’s history. You can scour through my column for my previous pieces. For us younger fans, 1989 is known for Anfield’89. I’m sure most of us have seen the highlights of that game numerous times. Most of us are also aware […]
