Would You Go To Arsenal ?

A post by @Swales1968 How many of the fifty five thousand Arsenal supporters that will be at the Emirates to watch the opening game of the season against Crystal Palace could be called “loyal supporters”? How many would turn up if Arsenal were in the position that West Ham or Aston Villa find themselves in […]

Arsenal’s Ambition

Last night I read this that Ivan Gazidis  had to say in America. “Think about this club. In 2002 and 2003, it’s really at the top of the world. And Arsene is at the top of the world. We have fantastic players. It’s us and Manchester United battling at the top of the Premier League. […]

Jack Wilshere End Of Beginning Or Beginning Of The End ?

So what is going on with Jack? His halo has slipped somewhat, in fact its fallen off and has been replaced by some little red horns. Well it has if you listen to many experts in the media and our own less than tolerant fickle fans. He has been caught smoking, drinking and worse of […]

The Making Of A Welsh Messiah!

Part 2  of our Aaron Ramsey series is by @kaltume_b Throughout History, and especially during Arsene Wenger’s tenure, Arsenal has built a reputation as a club that offers nascent talent a chance to have a shot at the big stage.  Amongst the many, there appeared Aaron Ramsey.
