The sun was out, the stadium was roaring, the stage was set, THE ARSENAL WERE BACK! For the first 60 minutes anyway, and then everything seemed to go a bit dead – atmosphere included. Nevertheless, I found it pleasing that despite losing our [former] best player and [former] captain, we looked an unchanged, comfortable and […]

The short answer: yes. A slightly longer answer: yes, but complacency, the terrible yet terrific two (Tevez and Balotelli) and the inconsistency of Samir Nasri and Edin Dzeko are going to be defining factors in the forthcoming season.

This week we’ve had Walcott linked with a move away from the Emirates (unlikely), we’ve also had the […]
