In a period of frequent summer signings and acquisitions, Arsenal answered its biggest question early on. Undoubtedly, Arsenal’s primary area of concern last season was up front. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang endured a tough final 16 months with the Gunners. The Gabon international appeared to be a shell of his former self following his massive contract extension […]

Arsenal has reportedly agreed a $37 million fee for FC Porto star midfielder Fabio Vieira.

Consequently, Vieira’s Greece vacation ended abruptly to complete the deal in London. Vieira, 22, split […]

Arsenal's top-four push is something that should not be surprising given the stature of the club. Despite that, the north London outfit greatly struggled in recent seasons to secure a Champions League place. After consecutive eighth-place finishes in the league, Arsenal clearly needed a rebuild. Oftentimes, major names and potential signings avoid these extended rebuilds. […]

Liverpool dented Arsenal's top-four chances with a 2-0 defeat of the Gunners on Wednesday. The loss snapped Arsenal's five-game win streak in Premier League play. Despite the defeat, Arsenal played fairly well against one of the top teams in Europe. The main difference between the two sides came from the clinical nature of Liverpool. In […]

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last featured for Arsenal a month ago. Now, it seems he may never play for the Gunners again.

Arsenal's youth project dominated headlines to start the season. An expensive, but young, batch of transfer acquisitions provided the Gunners the youngest squad in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta had the options at his disposal for natural development of players. The question remained as to how well they would fit in with the squad. Once […]

Arsenal's European hopes looked bleak at the beginning of the season. Three-consecutive shutout losses in the opening-three games sank the Gunners to the bottom of the table. Of course, Mikel Arteta's squad then pulled off an 10-game unbeaten run in all competitions, ballooning the north London side to fifth in the Premier League. That run […]

Arsenal's rebuild arrived out of necessity. In the previous two decades, the London-based club consistently finished in the top four of the Premier League. In fact, the Gunners qualified for 19 straight Champions League group stages until 2017/18. Unsurprisingly, the fan base developed an expectation of domestic and, at least to some extent, European success. […]

It’s safe to say that Mikel Arteta and Arsenal’s shopped and sold in the transfer market under a microscope. Summer transfer windows always carry importance for 'big' clubs. However, Arsenal's summer ventures took on a particular significance. The Gunners had a simply terrible 2020/21 campaign. Arsenal finished the season eighth on the table. Consequently, they […]

Rewind to May 17th 2014. Arsenal have just ended their nine-year wait for a trophy and everyone around the club is elated.

Derbies are brutal. This isn’t breaking news, but derbies are games that are woefully brutal on the supporters leading up to the match, and the games rarely live up to the pre-match hype. It’s not a stretch to say that the latest North London Derby won’t be the same. Both teams have obvious strengths and […]

With Olivier Giroud’s surgery knocking him out of action until January, the buzz around Arsenal is that the team now needs to buy a new striker if they want to compete for a title. This has led to all kinds of rumors about who Arsenal is targeting and the obscene amounts of money it will […]

Champions find a comfortable spot while potential Champions book Wembley Goodbye Landon (maybe) There were four Premier League matches this weekend with one Monday night and another two set for Tuesday.

When Tim Duncan was a senior at Wake Forest University, his teammates often utilized a very basic strategy: 1.) get the ball to Duncan, and 2.) watch him play. A 7-footer can only do so much on a basketball court, however, and the lack of real help from Duncan's teammates allowed opponents to double- and […]
