The argument for Arsenal to sack Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger is the longest serving manager in the Premier League. His tenure at Arsenal has seen a sustained level of success and quality of play that is only rivaled by Bob Paisley or Alex Ferguson. So why are Arsenal fans ready to end the Frenchman’s twenty-year stay at the London club? More importantly, why […]

Ranking the top mini dynasties of the Premier League era

With the advent of the Premier League in 1992 came the age of dynasties in English soccer. With the exception of Blackburn Rovers, and a T.B.D on Leicester City this year, nearly every team that’s won the Premier League has brought in more than a few trophies over a few year period. For the sake […]

St. Totteringham’s Day: A Spurs perspective

St. Totteringham’s Day — as a Tottenham Hotspur supporter since about 1996, it has been something I have been aware of since the beginning of my fandom. The wanderers of Woolwich have always had the upper hand by season’s end and that’s just the way it has been. In fact, its been the case since […]

St. Totteringham’s day: An Arsenal perspective

St. Totteringham’s Day is a day that all Arsenal fans love to celebrate. It is the day where mathematically Tottenham cannot finish above Arsenal in the English Premier League table. This day has been a small victory for Arsenal fans for 20 consecutive years so far, but it is in danger of not happening this […]

Looking into West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini’s disallowed goal, should it have counted?

In the very early minutes of the Arsenal-West Ham match (13:25), while the game was still deadlocked, Manuel Lanzini broke onto a mishit Andy Carroll bicycle kick. After a cool finish past Petr Cech, the linesman flagged Lanzini offside. We can see the goal below. In real time, Lanzini moves so quickly that it does […]

WATCH: Andy Carroll scores hat trick against Arsenal in eight minutes

Well, that’s not entirely true. West Ham’s Andy Carroll scored three goals and technically were within eight minutes but separated by halftime. Regardless, it’s an incredible feat that helped West Ham achieve a 3-3 draw against Arsenal. His first, a powerful header off a cross from Aaron Cresswell in the 44th minute put West Ham […]

Leicester City have become inevitable EPL champions

All season long it has been one hurdle after the other for Leicester City, as they knock down one the media and pundits put up another one. Now, with just six league matches to go, it is finally time for everyone to accept the fact that the Foxes are your inevitable EPL champions. Leicester City […]

Is this the weekend that wins the Premier League for Leicester?

The 2015/16 Premier League season is winding down, and with only a remaining seven or eight games left (depending on who you are). This also means that the race for the top of the table is becoming more and more solidified. It is pretty clear that there are two teams left in the running, Leicester […]

“In an era of Champions League superstars, do fans still care? Do the fans still dream of drawing a big club, of slaying a giant? Do the players dream of the Wembley arch, like I once dreamed of the Twin Towers? Do the chairmen still pray for a lucrative draw at Anfield or Old Trafford? […]

Which contender has the clearest path to the EPL title?

We’re down to just two handfuls of games in what can only be described as the wildest ride in the history of the English Premier League. Three teams have begun to separate themselves at the top — leaders Leicester City and North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur (sorry Manchester City you’re not chasing down […]

Video: Theo Walcott follows Giroud brace with brace of his own

It’s no secret Arsenal have been struggling for form recently. Part of that issue is that they haven’t been able to get consistent goalscoring from any of their stars recently. Danny Welbeck’s return from injury has provided a small spark, but it’s also caused a shift in Arsenal’s team, which has resulted in Theo Walcott […]

Video: Olivier Giroud gives Arsenal the lead over Hull City

It’s been a tough stretch recently for Arsenal. They’ve taken just 10 of their last 27 points in the league, and have likely fallen out of the title race. Over in the Champions League their situation isn’t looking good either, as they lost 2-0 at home to Barcelona and their only chance of advancing would […]
