The £35 million signing of German international Shkodran Mustafi, Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer after Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding and Lucas Perez, signals an almost unheard-of wealth of experience and talent in Arsenal’s backline. Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker provide experience, whilst Gabriel, Claum Chambers and Rob Holding are examples of raw talent. Mustafi […]
The announcement that Arsenal are close to signing Lucas Perez and Mustafi brought about a sigh of relief from fans, as Arsenal have now signed a quality centre back, holding midfielder and striker this transfer window. The obvious failures in the last two matches (Alexis at striker, and two inexperienced defenders at centre back) will […]
Sunday’s defensive disaster against Liverpool angered many, as Arsene Wenger deployed youngsters Chambers and Holding at centre-half. Wengers has been heavily criticised for not buying a new centre-back and with a new signing unlikely before the weekend, Wenger needs to change the style of the team – one which failed against Liverpool. Leicester have continued […]
A tale of two transfer windows – while Arsene has dithered, to say the least, Klopp has signed players that could take Liverpool to the next level. Plagued by injuries, Arsenal go into the game without a striker, and with a centre back pairing consisting of our 4th and 5th choice players. Liverpool will most […]
Arsene Wenger has confirmed (via The Mirror) that Arsenal’s integral trio of Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny will be out of the Premier League opening fixture against Liverpool on the 14th of August, stating: The Liverpool game will come too early for them The three stars will be given a rest following a […]
Come the opening day of the season, we are likely to face Liverpool without a seasoned striker – Danny Welbeck is sidelined and Olivier Giroud is being rested, while Takuma Asano and Yaya Sanogo are unlikely to be trusted. Many predict a wide player will be shifted up there, and based on his performance against […]
Following three unsuccessful tournaments in international football, Roy Hodgson resigned as the England boss, leaving a vacuum as the favourite to take over is unclear. Options such as Gareth Southgate, Alan Pardew and Glenn Hoddle are risky choices, which is why reports have come out that the FA want to poach Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger […]
Before Euro 2016, Arsenal signed Granit Xhaka – a combative midfielder with an eye for a pass. He played well in the tournament, picking up two ‘Man of the Match’ awards in the first two matches of the group stage, before being eliminated by Poland. Many Arsenal fans are optimistic that Xhaka will provide the […]
Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is set for a surprise Arsenal return after spending the 2015/16 season on loan to Serie A side, AS Roma.

Sunday saw us bid farewell to Arsenal’s lego haired Spaniard – despite only 4 years at the club, his loss feels like one of the cornerstones of Wenger’s reign is departing us. Signed in a frenzy following the 8-2 humiliation at Old Trafford, the ex Everton man provided a steady head and leadership in the […]
Arsenal welcome bottom of the league Aston Villa to the Emirates for the final game of quite an indifferent season. Arsenal can finish anywhere between 2nd and 4th, but the prize of another St. Totteringham’s day will prove tempting for many of the players. Last Sunday’s draw at the Etihad Stadium showed a lot of […]
Arsenal, coming off a victory over Norwich, compounded with Tottenham’s nonsensical collapse at Stamford Bridge, have every chance of taking 2nd place as they travel to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Last week’s game, although appearing like a dead rubber, was crucial to win and almost certainly cements Champions League football next season. City, meanwhile, […]
