First was Arsène Wenger, towards the end of his tenure, then was Mesut Özil and today is Mikel Arteta.We can’t stay away from a cult, can we? I don’t know how much this is linked to the social media but I’m witnessing another cult growing among Arsenal fans: the Mikel Arteta cult. Wherever I turn […]
More Questions than Answers Last night’s limp display, on the back of the previous outing at the Amex, left me stunned to be honest. I found myself with so many observations and queries, some linked and some not but I thought I might jot them down. Firstly, doing so might help me make sense of […]
Arsenal the moody teenager POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I remember being 13. An absolute whirlwind of emotions. I was dealing with realizing that my parents needed to be shunned as all my friends were doing the same. Girls were on the scene and so I had to activate my sweet side for them. My friends […]
It is looking increasingly likely that Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah could leave Arsenal for absolutely nothing after both have run their contracts down, expiring this summer. Familiar story for Arsenal fans. Players leaving Arsenal for free unfortunately is nothing new to the Gunners with previous heartache seeing the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey […]

Nothing better than a convincing win to heal the wounds of a heavy loss.Arsenal bounced back from the defeat suffered in Barcelona with a three-nil win against Everton, at Meadow Park, and recorded their fifth straight win in the league. We’re now the only team to win every single game so far and we are […]
Very early into his appointment, Mikel Arteta made a careful, well-thought observation about the kinds of players needed in the Premier League. This quote, laced with nuance, was soon going to prove prophetic. “For City, or any top side, it’s obviously great to have players who will give you control of the ball, control of […]
There has rarely been a player in recent years to divide the Arsenal fanbase in the way Granit Xhaka does. Perhaps only latter day Ozil in the last few seasons. However, whether you are in the pro Xhaka camp, or in the camp that feels he represents years of under achievement, you will acknowledge that […]
If there is one game that could have ended our perfect start of the season, it was the UWCL tie against Barcelona.The reigning champions continue to look way ahead of any competition in Europe and that includes us, obviously. No surprise here, really: they were the better team on paper and confirmed it on the […]
