Mind the gap
It’s been a tough season for the Arsenal – what am I saying, it’s been a fucking dreadful season! But attending last weekend’s FA Cup Final and witnessing such an accomplished and determined performance from the team is undoubtedly one of my greatest live football memories. From the revenant Mertesacker to many…

Leave a CommentIt would be fair to say that Arsene Wenger’s decision to bench Alexis Sanchez last weekend at Anfield raised a few eyebrows. There are two reasons for this. Firstly and obviously, the Chilean has been Arsenal’s best player for some time and would be expected to feature in such a…

Leave a CommentIt’s that time of year again. Arsenal are out of the Premier League title race, after shitting themselves against credible rivals. Meanwhile, fans are left to pretend unrealistic (Champions League) and meaningless (FA Cup) targets mean all’s still to play for. But really, we know season’s over. It’s nothing new.…

After a dreadful start of the season, which further highlighted the team’s needs to strengthen (home loss to Liverpool due to thin defense, goal-less draw at Leicester due to lack of striker), the fans’ pressure seems to have paid off. Arsenal have…

Leave a CommentIt’s that familiar time of the summer again for Arsenal fans. After a promising start to the transfer window which began with a high profile, long-needed recruit (Xhaka this year, Cech last) it’s gone awfully quiet. Again. While our main rivals have splashed the cash, the Gunners are failing to invest…

Leave a CommentOn Sunday, Portugal beat France in the final of Euro 2016 in Paris. It’s not quite how this was supposed to go, really. It’s been a shit few months for my home country, scarred by terror attacks, seemingly never ending social unrest and even more striking than usual. The mood…

Leave a CommentNot long ago, I posted about how PSG should move forward after yet another Champions League failure against Manchester City. The first point on my list was the most controversial: to let Zlatan Ibrahimovic go. To relieve this mercurial yet overshadowing talent, and allow others to grow as leaders. To create a more unified and free-flowing team,…
