Arsenal’s next signing could be crucial but which one do they go for?

Morning all. Sven Mislintat is off this month, he could already be gone. I’ve no idea for sure. His appointment was generally well received I think, our hope to success by spotting players who were cheap, but were expected to come good, really good. For whatever reason only he and the club know for sure, […]

Özil winning the mind games?

Morning all. ‘When you start supporting a football club, you don’t support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.’ Mesut Ozil on Twitter. Many, not all I know, support any football club because they’re born into it. […]

No Özil, no Ramsey but no problem surely?

Morning guys. Mesut Ozil hasn’t travelled to Belerus which has sparked another social media outcry. Hang on though, he’s been sick according to Unai Emery, with the same bug which kept Aubameyang out of the team at the weekend. Trouble is, we cynics are exactly that aren’t we, cynical. A one off omission through sickness […]

Do Arsenal just lack a bit of understanding?

Morning guys. Alex Iwobi, perhaps the current Mr Marmite, the Theo Walcott of 2019, a player who frustrates me that’s for sure.

Surprise inclusion and exclusion as Arsenal take on Huddersfield.

Morning all. Social Media has spilled over and into Unai Emery’s press conference as he was asked about the critical comments surrounding our away form. Ironic really beating in mind that today we travel to Huddersfield, the only ground we won at in 2018 under Arsene Wenger. Win today and history will repeat itself because […]

Player wages – Are Arsenal getting value for money?

Morning all. There are some suggestions around the £40m-mark, depending on what competition Arsenal get in (Champions League or Europa League), I’ve been told that it could be around £100m to spend. As we know with Arsenal, that would factor in salaries as well, and we need to see what competition they get in. There […]

Is Arsenal’s problem really the defence?

Morning all. I’m still trying to get my head around the recent Europa squad which has been announced. Danny Welbeck, Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin are on the long list of players yet Konstantinos Mavropanos, our probable future centre back, is not. I know it’s probably down to number crunching to comply with the home […]
