Comedy gold.

Variety is the spice of life

Theo Walcott has been very vocal in his belief that he should play a central striker role in Arsene Wenger's 4-3-3 system.

Bacary Sagna: the War Horse (Video)

Arsenal's Bacary Sagna is one of my favourite players in the Premier League. He never leaves anything less than 100% on the pitch and despite breaking his leg twice (!) last season he has successfully rehabilitated and made his return.

Why Andre Santos can become an Arsenal force

In recent weeks and days it has become rather easy to lambast and ridicule Arsenal’s Brazilian full-back Andre Santos. In brutal honesty, his performances at left-back since Kieran Gibbs’ injury have been nothing short of disastrous.

Santos and the twitter trolls.

Those Twitter trolls have been at it again.
