Arsenal Opinion Archives: 12/2019

I’ve been putting off writing this review of Arsenal’s 2019 because, well, it was rubbish, wasn’t it? You remember, you were there.

It’s the end of another decade and what better way to finish up what has been mostly 10 years of pain for Arsenal fans by looking back at some of the worst players to pull on the famous red and white during that time?

As we reach the end of the decade, I thought it would be a good idea to do a fans’ vote for the Arsenal Women’s team of the decade.

As 2019 comes to a close, it seems right to select an FA WSL best XI spawning the decade with the league in it’s ninth season.

Just like there have been a number of great signings for Arsenal women over the last decade, there have been a few stinkers too, so here are my top 6 worst Arsenal women signings from that period.

Arsenal have made quite a few good signings over the past 10 years, so here are my top 5 Arsenal women’s signings of the decade.

After the result against Chelsea on Sunday, Arsenal need to start prioritising the FA Cup and the Europa League to bring back some excitement for the fans.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal faced Bournemouth on Boxing Day and while he didn’t get the win his side’s performance deserved, there was a lot to be happy about.

As Mikel Arteta prepares for his first week of matches as Arsenal head coach, I’d like to stress the importance of the new boss trusting in the club’s youth prospects.

There is a lot of talk about an FA WSL salary cap at the moment and why it should be removed or changed.

It’s been quite the week in Arsenal land, so let’s take a look at what’s hot and what’s not.

Last year, I thought replacing Arsene Wenger with Mikel Arteta was a really stupid idea but Unai Emery helped me come around

Granit Xhaka, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette’s PR teams thought it a good day to make sure fans knew they wouldn’t be hanging around as Arsenal prepared to announce Mikel Arteta as their new head coach.

Napoli have reportedly made Arsenal an offer to take Lucas Torreira on loan for 18 months with a €27m option to buy but will they really let him go as well?

Stan Kroenke’s sports empire, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, has been named the ‘most valuable sports conglomerate in the world’ by Forbes, but what is the real price of supporting a  team owned by someone like Stan?

Strong links to Mikel Arteta are dividing opinion with some in the Arsenal fanbase, but for me, he’d be an exciting appointment.

Mikel Arteta looks like he could well become the next Arsenal manager, so what can we expect from the man who has been Pep Guardiola’s number two?

Another week has passed us by, so I thought it might be an idea to try and find the hottest and worst things in Arsenal’s world this week.

Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lucas Torreira seem unlikely to be Arsenal players this time next year and the decisions made around the Manchester City game seemed to clarify that and a number of others who could go.

It was more than a little disappointing to see Arsenal put their commercial interests ahead of human rights when they hung Mesut Ozil out to dry with their statement about his comments on the Chinese treatment of the Uighurs.
