Say what you will about Bournemouth, who sit quite comfortable in 10th with ostensibly nothing to play for—well-safe from relegation, no realistic chance at European competitions. One might assume that they have one foot on the proverbial beach already, but one would only do so by also looking past their form of late. Over the ..read more

With the emergence of Kai Havertz as a false-nine-ish kind of forward, Arsenal might turn its attention to reinforcing other areas, namely, that right wing. While we have a plethora of options on the left—Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus, even Nelson—we have a dire shortage of options in the right—Saka. That’s…that’s about it. For as much as ..read more

When we signed Gabriel Jesus, the feeling was that we’d found a vital, polished stirker who could find the back of the net 20-25 times per season while adding title-winning experience to a callow, naïve side. That hasn’t quite come to pass. Maybe that’s down to the injuries the Brazilian has suffered since his arrival ..read more

It’s hard to remember, given all that’s gone on this season, but there was a time when it looked far more likely for Declan Rice to end up at Man City than at Arsenal. Gooners, of course, carry no small amount of PTSD when it comes to pursuing players only to see oil-rich megaclubs wave ..read more

That title is dead-serious and delivered with a dead-pan tone. I mean it. Seriously. No ulterior motives whatsoever. I want Spurs to end this season on an epic run, fueled by the injustice and the ignominy of losing at home to their most-hated rival. More on that desire of mine later. For now, let’s celebrate ..read more

I don’t want to look past the North London Derby before it’s even been played, but we do have to acknowledge the elephant on the room. We stand a decent chance at winning our remaining matches, finishing on 89 points, and…finishing second to Man City. Would such an outcome amount to failure? Would we have ..read more

We’re through the looking-glass here, people. Liverpool’s dramatic derby drubbing at Goodison Park may have knocked them out of this three-way title-race once and for all—and, even as I type those words, I know full-well just how wary we’ll have to be as we prepare for our own derby this weekend. More on that later ..read more

Well, that escalated quickly. After a first half in which it started to feel like it might be one of those nights during which we’d dominate possession, create boatloads of chances, and concede some slapstick goal completely against the run of play, we erupted for four goals inside of 15 minutes, completely eviscerating a Chelsea ..read more

While we all know how vital it will be to seize all three against Chelsea on Tuesday, it would be all too easy to write off the clown-car that Boehly has assembled over the last few transfer windows. After all, despite all of that spending, Chelsea languish laughably midtable with only a glimmer of a ..read more

I’m not sure whether either Arsenal or the player have heard, but the former is apparently linked with a move for the latter. Frankly, if I’m being honest, I want nothing to do with Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimarães even if Newcastle have given him permission to seek a move to a club that’s qualified for ..read more
