Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny a bright spot in frustrating season for Gunners

When Arsenal signed Mohamed Elneny from Swiss club Basel in January, many fans of the north London club were left feeling unfulfilled.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Pope Francis, President Obama and Mathieu Flamini. Believe it or not, these four have something significant in common.

Arsenal’s options for club captain in the 2016/17 season

Midfielder Mikel Arteta has been Arsenal’s club captain since Thomas Vermaelen departed north London for Barcelona in the summer of 2014.

Arsenal will receive big boost when Santi Cazorla returns from injury

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Özil are Arsenal’s big guns (I’d also probably add Petr Cech as well), there is no denying that. The dynamic offensive duo are major talents and have been brilliant during the current campaign. Alexis has netted 10 total goals on the season, despite missing a chunk of games due to a […]

Arsenal fans hoping Tomas Rosicky hasn’t played last match for club

Before Alexis Sanchez graced the Emirates pitch, Tomas Rosicky was Arsenal’s Energizer Bunny. No, the Czech Republic international is not as prolific in front of goal as his Chilean teammate, but the “little mozart” brought creativity, energy and intensity to the Arsenal squad over the last 10 years.

It is fairly safe to say that Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud is not exactly the most well-liked player in the Barclays Premier League.
