Arsenal’s 2014/2015 Preseason

After many frustrating seasons to date, Arsenal fans can finally see the change they’ve been asking about time and time again. I personally believe the FA Cup win at the end of last season has been the reason for the change in operation and has re-lit the fire that once burned deep within Arsène Wenger. As we’ve all seen, Arsenal has once again become a premier destination for World Class talent with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy arriving this summer.

The Gem we have in Jack

Perhaps one of the most versatile players in the Arsenal squad, Jack Wilshere has been an irreplaceable piece in the mighty cannon that is The Arsenal. Although he may not always be a starter in the team, believe me he is one of the greatest players that has ever and will ever play for us.

Wenger Accepts his Team’s Underdog Role (Written by @ChrisMoore32)

Earlier Friday, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger made it known, quite frankly what most fans already assumed, that his team cannot match fellow Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea in funds.  The Frenchman told Arsenal.com, “In terms of their resources no (we can’t compete) because they have unlimited resources, but with our resources available, we are ready to fight.”

My Top 5 Arsenal Targets

With the transfer window having been open for 3 days now, there has been much speculation as to who the Gunners may decide to pursue in order to bolster the options for the squad. Many think that the club are in need of a striker, some say defenders, some people are even saying the club need more midfielders. From my eyes, I believe that the club should mainly focus on attacking players, just to have a variety of options with the attacking man up front. There are 5 transfers in particular that I would love to see happen, even if they are unrealistic.

Can the Gunners Triumph over the Defending European Champions?

 

Earlier Monday morning, Arsenal was drawn against defending European Champions Bayern Munich for their first match of the knockout stages. This is the second time in a row that Arsenal have been drawn against the European Champions, having been eliminated by them due to away goals after an aggregate score of 3-3. Now a full year has passed, and the question remains; Do the Gunners have what it takes to knockout the defending European champions and advance to the next round?

My Match Story: Arsenal vs Everton

So as you all know, Arsenal recently drew Everton at home 1-1 last Sunday. This was perhaps one of the most hard fought games by the squad, and perhaps the most interesting of the season to date! I'm really starting to like this type of play by Arsenal; play hard and with heart, as well as these new kind of "chemistry trick-shots/passes" that I keep seeing every single match. It's saddening that the Gunners were not able to hold off the pressing Everton side to earn the 3 points, however that being said, drawing against a club that has only lost one match this whole season is something to be appreciated. That being said, being able to watch the game for myself was no easy challenge...

Why Arsenal Needs to sign Julian Draxler Now

Julian Draxler, the €45m rated attacking midfielder, is reported to be close to joining Arsenal in either the January or summer transfer window. According to many rumours, Draxler currently speaks with Arsène Wenger on a regular basis and has even hinted at joining the club in the summer, according to the Mirror. Basically, Draxler needs Arsenal and Arsenal need him as well.

The Life of a Canadian Gooner

Oh to be a Gooner, especially in a country where football means something completely different. Yes I’m talking about the struggles of being an Arsenal fan from across the Atlantic, in my native Canada. The time difference, lack of media coverage and the virtually unknown existence of the club make it difficult to follow my favourite club.
