I meet a fair few Dutch people in my job, driving in London. I like Dutch people, they have a good sense of humour, like a beer, have fantastic coffee shops and make reasonably good footballers…. I don’t think that I’d be alone among many Arsenal fans if I said I’d be very happy to […]

While things are relatively quiet and before the big news were all expecting is announced, I wanted to run this past you to see if this make sense to you all? I have been thinking quite a lot about our football team and have tried to look at as many angles as I can, hoping […]
Young Guns reported yesterday that two of our youngsters could be staying out on loan again next season. Levante is the club that wants the services of both Wellington Silva and Pedro Botelho.

It is very clear we had some shortcomings and in this close season we are going to see some turnover of players. Some new signings will be coming in and some of our existing squad will be going out. As Arsène has said, it will be a busy close season for the Club. Those are […]
