Arteta Holds the Key to Midfield Balance As the new competitive season fast approaches, Arsenal are looking relatively strong – even without ze World Cup winners – and, despite Arsene Wenger reportedly looking to add in the defensive/midfield area, it is unlikely any (immediately effective) business will be done prior to the weekend. With this […]
To those recently departed; Oh Captain, My Captain. This piece was originally run back in June, but now it’s been confirmed that another Arsenal captain has upped sticks and crept off to join Arselona, I thought I would update it. “O Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, […]
He is our new captain and he looks massively honoured and proud about it, he said it himself immediately after lifting the Community Shield at Wembley.

Hello Gooners, this is a post I have long looked forward to publishing, as fellow Arsenal fan Jake Schuster (who is a Boston-born MSc Sports Nutrition student currently studying at Loughborough University, with experience working with elite and professional level athletes in four different countries) and I managed to have a chat; getting in-depth about […]
Now that the Emirates Cup is out of the way, and with our newcomers (except David Ospina) making their debuts and performing well, our attention turns to Sunday’s FA Community Shield clash with Manchester City, and I for one can’t wait.
