Alexis Sanchez. Mathieu Débuchy. David Ospina. Calum Chambers. Danny Welbeck. And people still brand this transfer window as terrible. I get the point that we should have added a defender in order to complete the unit, is that enough to label Arsène Wenger’s job as horrible? I don’t know what you think about it but I haven’t experienced such an […]
Don’t Fear, Danny Welbeck Is Here! Arsenal have managed to scrape a late deadline day signing in Manchester United’s outcast Danny Welbeck. How do I feel about this? I’ll tell you. Underwhelmed, yes of course considering the wild rumours lately but very happy with this deal in particular. I’m a big fan of this player […]

Sunday Taught Us Nothing We Don’t Already Know Before I begin, I should inform that I’m currently neither a WOB nor AKB. I have respect for Arsene Wenger but frequently in disagreement with his decisions and I’m sceptical of how far he can take us though I believe the potential exists. That’s just how I […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 1 – Time to Turn the Cannon Outwards Well, the season is now well and truly underway since you last heard from me, and just like I felt after being back at work for five minutes after two weeks away, it feels like it never went away. In case you’ve been living […]
Ahoy hoy there Gooners. After Wednesday’s capers, I trust all of your backsides have returned to what passes as normal and the prospect of scraps against a not-as-formidable-as-they-once-were Borussia Dortmund, the less than worrying Belgian side Anderlecht and Turkish fear-mongers Galatasaray, makes the tension against Besiktas now seem worthwhile. For me, Marco Reus, Steven Defour […]
Transfer revisionism doesn’t help until the transfers are done Good morning my lovelies, and welcome back. What a difference the space of a week can make. We’ve gone from “The team is horrible”, “The play is labored”, “How can Arsene Wenger not see what’s so patently obvious” and “I’m a grumpy lout” to “Ah, THAT’s […]
What Did Wednesday Night Teach Us? Wednesday night was a great buzz if you were around Highbury and Islington during, it was a great night out for me personally I must say. We’ve finally been able to witness our most fluent display and it came at the expense of a racing heart. We were an […]
The UEFA Champions League group stage draw is here, and the last time the name “Arsenal FC” wasn’t in the draw was way back in the 1996/1997 season. It is definitely a remarkable achievement by Arsenal Football Club and Arsene Wenger, who showed consistency and stability throughout. With that being said, Arsenal are in […]
There hasn’t been as much action on the WSL front over the past few weeks with the break for international fixtures, but we are back in the thick of things again. In the match right after my last Gunners Fair post back in July, Arsenal posted a frustrating 1-1 draw versus Notts County, conceding a […]
