DB’S SILLY SEASON DIARY 2014: Sanchez Signs, Mathieu Materialises and Khedira Kidnapped So, last year it was Mesut. Fucking. Özil, and the rise of the umlaut. This year, it’s Alexis. Fucking. Sánchez and an attack of acute hysteria. Yes, the thingy over the “a” is called an acute, in case you were wondering. Just hours […]
Why Per Mertesacker should be appointed skipper next season regardless of Thomas Vermaelen’s future At the minute the club are facing a pretty awkward situation regarding Thomas Vermaelen’s future being in a three way between himself, Arsenal and league rivals Manchester United.

Well, it’s started, hasn’t it?! Mathieu Debuchy…Alexis Sanchez…who else will arrive at N5 this summer? What a pair of signings. It struck me, last week, whilst I was contemplating life from the horizontal position of a dentist’s chair (for an hour) just how much the Arsenal transfer windows were like visiting the dentist’s.

Germany reached the Word Cup final with a stunning 7:1 demolition of Brazil last night. To be honest I didn’t expect such a performance from the German team at all. They were ruthless, mobile in every area of the field and just didn’t stop to get into the space Brazil left them. I was to […]
