Ever since arriving from Lille in the summer of 2019, it is safe to say that Nicolas Pepe has not been a smash-hit. The Ivorian winger’s tenure in England has been marred with inconsistency, and he has barely managed to justify his enormous price tag that Arsenal paid to secure his services. Pepe has had …

Arsenal left it late but eventually did the job as they progressed to the next stage of the Europa League courtesy of an 87th-minute goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gunner won 3-2 as the Arsenal captain, who struck a brace, was supported by Kieran Tierney in the goalscoring charts on the night. Being the kind …
Mikel Arteta has been under increased scrutiny this season but should pacify at least some of the criticism aimed at Arsenal after the convincing 4-2 victory against Leeds United last week. The win sees Arsenal climb back into the top half of the table and while the position is nothing to write home about, Gunners …
John Terry is very nearly synonymous with Chelsea after playing in royal blue for nearly two decades of his playing career. The former Chelsea captain is one who enjoys legendary status at the club, and his best interests have been aligned with the club’s best interests more often than not: even after he has sat …
It is safe to say that Willian is not the most popular player amongst Arsenal fans at the moment, about half a season after his switch of clubs across the city. The Brazilian winger has had a very underwhelming start to life in North London, after Arsenal signed him for free in the summer window …
For the rest of my life, I just really just want to be as happy as Ian Wright was when Bukayo Saka scored last night. In what was a massive relief for manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal produced the goods to beat London rivals Chelsea 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium last night. It was the Gunners’ …
Arsenal’s horrific run of form of late continued with a 4-1 home defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup quarter final this week. Goals from Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte cancelled out Alexandre Lacazette’s effort for Arsenal, and helped Manchester City qualify to the semi finals in a competition that …
Arsenal are in the middle of a full blown crisis to say the least. The North London outfit have registered a total of 14 points from their 14 games played in the Premier League this season, and they have lost a whopping total of eight games out of them. The ever increasing pressure on head …
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made the dubious record of scoring more goals for opposition teams than for Arsenal at the Emirates this season as the Gunners succumbed to a defeat against Burnley. Quite a pity for the Arsenal fans who had waited all these months to get back into the Emirates, just to watch Granit Xhaka get …
If there is anything good about having no crowds at football games, it is being able to hear what gets said by players on the pitch. The television cameras sometimes pick up absolute gems as footballers lose it in the heat of the moment and one of such moments occurred in the Premier League clash …
Looking At The Most Booked Players In The 2020/21 Premier League As of the 23rd of November 2020, 139 yellow cards have been issued by Premier League referees to players in the 2020/21 season. Leicester City have had the most recipients in the book with 14 bookings so far, that’s 2.80 per game! Here are …
There was no middle ground, football fashion police either hated or loved the shiny, puffy bomber jacket Mikel Arteta wore last night. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, it seems majority of the fans absolutely loathed the choice of attire on display. Arsenal made light work of their match against Molde despite conceding first as the Gunners …
Mohamed Elneny turned out to be the unsung hero on the night as Arsenal won 1-0 against Manchester United on Sunday. The Egyptian was a surprise inclusion in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI but thoroughly justified his selection by dominating the 4-man United midfield along with Thomas Partey. Elneny played like his life depended on it …
Arsenal fans are finally managing to wipe off the horror imagery of Jesse Lingard doing the ‘milly rock’ at the Emirates back in 2017 as Aubameyang celebrated his goal against Man United with a little dance of his own at Old Trafford earlier today. Arsenal won away at a ‘big six’ club for the first …
The rivalry between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger continues to thrive despite the duo not locking horns for quite some time now. The former Arsenal boss provoked the Portuguese when he said that he didn’t mention Mourinho even once in his new book (called My Life in Red and White) because he “wanted it to …
Gabriel Martinelli has been one of Arsenal’s best young talents since the turn of the new decade, standing out as one of the beacons of light in a 2019/20 season filled with highs and lows. He added a new dimension in attack for manager Mikel Arteta’s new-look Gunners side, and was largely impressive before missing …
Football Twitter is arguably one of the best forums on the internet for bantering your rival clubs, though it might as well turn out to backfire against you if the narrative is not very well chalked out. Lord Sugar, the famous British business magnate who also turns out to be a former Tottenham Hotspur shareholder …
