Initially I was underwhelmed with Mikel’s appointment. I felt the owner and recruitment team would be able to dictate his every move, being a typical ‘yes’ man. But from his very first interview, my confidence that he can deliver at this great club is slowly growing. Tricky opening fixtures Without a doubt, the Christmas period […]
Vital Statistics from Wolves v Arsenal Premier League • Matchday 33 • 04 July 2020 Structure, hard work and attitude, right through the team – the simple part of football that’s been missing for too long. POSSESSION Interesting to note that again we didn’t have the lion’s share of possession, gone are the entirely ball […]
In my previous article, I said that football is a results business and in that respect, what a great couple of weeks it’s been since I last penned my thoughts. Most supporters are quick to criticise the manager when he gets it wrong, so I’m going to buck that trend by being quick to praise […]
Polish the rocks to buy the diamonds POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Many years ago I was in Memphis sitting in a restaurant late at night. I was chatting with a local man who was imparting one pearl of wisdom after another. As is life, we only remember the odd thing here and there. For some […]

At the time of writing, there is still the possibility Arsenal could qualify for the Europa League through their Premier League position this season. They are also into the semi-final of the FA Cup and face a difficult match having drawn Manchester City. Nevertheless, it has been another disappointing season for The Gunners, one in […]
Is it now Lacazette to Lacagoals? Has our once record singing been a flop? Is it time for him to go? Alexandre Lacazette has been an enigmatic player at Arsenal. He joined in the summer of 2017, and at last, we had a top striker to seemingly replace Giroud and outdo Danny […]
