So, Transfer Deadline Day passed through with not too many fireworks from the Arsenal camp. Most of the touted departures happened except maybe for Reiss Nelson. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1356250757905973250 The most interesting departure to me wasn’t really about the player but the choice of club for Ainsley Maitland-Niles. West Bromwich Albion? I mean no disrespect to […]
Arsenal rising star Reiss Nelson is regarded as one for the future. Top German tactician Julian Nagelsmann acknowledged his potential when he signed him on loan at Hoffenheim a couple of seasons ago. If you have been participating in soccer betting on leagues from around the world, then you must know about this budding soccer […]
Arsenal Finally Being as Ruthless as Chelsea Sometimes, when I’m lying awake at night and not thinking about 2007/08 Alex Hleb, I fret about the etymology of words and get myself all worked up for no reason at all. It’s a strange pastime and almost certainly a tactic from my brain designed to keep me […]
Have you noticed? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I think it’s pretty normal for football fans to notice the following; great performances, poor performances, glaring opportunities, eye catching individualism, big effort, lack of effort and man of the match candidates.

With the exception of Alex Iwobi, academy graduates leaving their mark on the first team […]
As Arsenal prepare for their second visit to St Mary’s in 3 days, the fanbase will be hoping that Arteta reverts to the team that had been winning in the Premier League. There has been a collective annoyance that the manager’s team selection for Saturday’s FA Cup Fourth Round tie, rather let his team open […]
Writing after the Southampton league game away, where Pepe scored a fine goal in a sound win, it may be harsh to call Pepe out or question his time at the club. However, as our record signing, and the poor performance of Pepe in the Cup loss at Soton, questioning him may be apt. […]
When it’s the Coach POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Every game can be won or lost by a coach. Something they do or don’t do. Often it’s plural. Yesterday, Mikel Arteta and Ralph Hassenhuttl got to show themselves. Two games, same opponents, back to back. A real coaches game. Just played each other so we were […]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I last wrote an article. I had hoped that after our three home fixtures, where we had won two and drawn one, keeping three clean sheets and progressing into the fourth round of the FA Cup in the process, I’d be writing a positive one on my return. […]
Mesut Ozil’s misery at Arsenal has officially ended after the midfielder completed his much-anticipated move to Turkish club Fenerbahce, exactly a week after he traveled to Turkey. The former German international said he will be a “Gunner for life” after sealing his free transfer from the North London club to Fenerbahce, after being reduced to […]
