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.

Following Arsenal’s emphatic 4-1 win over Sunderland on Saturday, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praised midfielder Tomáš Rosicky.  The French manager also told reporters that Rosicky will be staying with the team behind the current season.  Wenger stated, “Tomáš Rosicky will stay.  We have an agreement with him and it will come out soon.  I am absolutely adamant he has to stay at the club."

Let's Stand up for The Arsenal

Does it really matter that we drew to Southampton? Does it really matter that we dropped points on Tuesday? Does it really matter that we are now second in the EPL? No it does not since after all we are The Arsenal, one of the greatest clubs to ever set foot on a football pitch.

I was thinking about the current status of the club a few days ago and I came to a revelation. We are finally on our way to overcoming the adversity that has surrounded us for the past 8 seasons. It’s quite amazing actually; the fact that we are now considered a threat in the world of football again. Seeing as we were once the joke of the English Premier League and the Champions League, and now we have the chance to finally break the dreaded trophy-less curse.

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?

Match Reaction: Napoli


UCL match night 6 was no easy task for the Gunners as much was needed from the English squad. Going into the match, Arsène Wenger's side needed a win or a draw to guarantee a 1st place finish atop of group F. In the case of a loss, the Gunners were required to concede a goal differential no greater than 2 goals to advance to the knockout stages of the competition. The final score ended up being 2-0 for the home side, although it was not the result that was desired from the club and fans.
