Would you rather Arsenal win the Champions League or England win the World Cup?

Strikers are judged on how many goals they score.

If we successfully convince everyone that we have a destroyer who will take everything they throw at us and return it twice as hard, maybe we won’t even need a destroyer after all.

With this week’s announcement that there’s a new number 7 on the block, I couldn’t help thinking that it’s a good job Alexis’ move came this summer rather than last, for if it had been announced pre-publication, we’d have had to reconsider our list for our Greatest Number 7s book..

Is finishing above Spurs like winning a competition? Is it better?

Most seasons turn on just a few brief moments: here are the 2015-16 versions we’ve pulled out.

Can you fall out of love with football?

I don’t think I’ll ever get closer to forgiving Fabregas for abandoning my club than Monday night.

We’ve all heard the saying “one swallow does not a summer make” and in footballing terms it can be termed as “one season does not a superstar make.”

I’m a (very) bad loser. Whether I’m playing or supporting, there’s something inside of me that just outright rejects the idea of coming off second…

Prejudice is a funny thing. I read Nia’s article earlier this week on International Women’s Day about the difficulties she faces in establishing her credentials…

Football is a game of small margins. When Bobby Madley decided that throttling Mesut Ozil wasn’t even a challenge worthy of a free-kick, he effectively…

Momentum can be, well, momentous in football. When the Invincibles lost to United (or should I say: “were Mike Rileyed* at United”?) it triggered a…

MSN are going to tear Arsenal a new one. That’s if you believe the press anyway. There’s been lots of hype around Barcelona’s attacking threat,…

Arsenal are allowed to attack. All the talk this week has been of Barca’s menace but little credence has been given to our own forward…
