Don’t expect Miracles Because Arsenal Have Always Been Consistently Awful in Their Decision Making

If Arsenal continue on their current trajectory and maintain their dismal form, the board will actually be negligent if they allow the situation to get worse under Unai Emery. One imagines that the words of Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi and managing director Vinai Venkatesham are still ringing in his

Arsenal continue the clear out but it’s not over yet as the new regime plot their incoming transfer targets for the next window

We’ve already seen a more streamline and ruthless Arsenal from the beginning of the Emery era and now Edu has arrived to join Sanllehi and Venkatesham, the planned cull shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Sentiment seems to be a dirty word as Arsenal severed ties that were unlikely under

Arsenal ring the changes with Emery and Sanllehi in the role of the smiling assassins

Arsenal were notoriously a soft touch in the world of football. Under avuncular Arsene Wenger, players grew increasingly more empowered. Some picking and choosing training, when they played and then there were the regulars to the treatment table. Some spent more time recovering than playing and this resulted in the club

The majority of Arsenal fans were delighted and surprised by the club’s success in the transfer market but as time wore on, it appeared that the hierarchy only seemed to be interested in attacking players and less inclined to bolster the defence. Although fans were given a blimmer of hope

After the acrimonious transfer of former captain Laurent Koscielny, Arsenal fans were split on his transfer to Bordeaux. Some felt that the players actions were disrespectful by refusing to go on tour but wanted him to stay. Others like myself considered there was no alternative but to sell him. https://twitter.com/goal/status/1160305134183813123?s=19 He had

Calum Chambers The Fulham Player Of The Season And The Defender That Simply Refuses To Be Obsolete

If Calum Chambers was a cat, he’d be halfway through his allotted lives at Arsenal because as a player, he has never really caught fire. A nearly man, a squad player, a loaner but not first team material and that’s pretty much summed up his time in an Arsenal shirt. However,

The surreal and unpleasant departure of Laurent Koscielny from Arsenal plunged to new depths yesterday, after it was announced that Arsenal had cut ties with their former captain for the tidy sum of £4.6m. https://twitter.com/SoccerAM/status/1158794257999769602?s=19 The sum was far more than I expected and seemed like a bounty fee for man who

Arsenal should be given credit for their transfer dealings so far with a mixture of creative short term and long term solutions, but as the transfer window gears up for a manic close, fans are beginning to panic about the defensive holes which look certain to undermine another season. Well, let’s

Arsenal are having a bumper transfer window but who will eventually make way and for whom when the window slams shut

As the transfer window countdown begins, it’s fair to examine what Arsenal have, what they need to jettison and what they still have left to do. It’s also going to be interesting to see what the eventual line up could be with the new additions. On social media, it’s been a

Sometimes transfers require one deal to facilitate another and in the case of Celtic’s Kieran Tierney, the sale of Krystian Bielik to Derby County for around £10m, will mean that Arsenal can, in theory at least, change to upfront amount they were going to offer the Scottish club. https://twitter.com/ArsenalAcademy/status/1157260281141182465?s=19 Now unless Celtic

Laurent Koscielny caused a storm by refusing to travel to the US as part of Arsenal’s pre season tour and received a fan backlash on social media. As the news has been received by Arsenal fans with mixed feelings, majority of the faithful think both the parties are at fault. https://twitter.com/ltarsenal/status/1151914896637845505?s=19 The

Dumping Koscielny Is The Only Way Ahead For Arsenal in Regaining Their Focus and Concentrating On The Future

It’s an unfortunate symptom of modern football that a players relationship with their club occasionally turns sour. There are numerous examples including Pogba/United, Neymar/PSG and more importantly to gunners fans, Koscielny/Arsenal. Originally, I felt the situation was similar to two male peacocks in search of a mate. Both showing off their

The rivalry between Arsenal and Spurs has always been intense. A win in the North London Derby is always a special thing for either side, a higher league finish secures the bragging rights until the next season and a win on opposition soil that secures the title is something that

Sometimes the essence of an idea or ideal gets lost as a business grows or expands. The history and tradition can become lost as the wheels are set in motion to increase revenue and revolutionise an existing venture same as Arsenal. Some things aren’t meant to change to this extent, they
