SPORTING CP V ARSENAL ON TUESDAY AT 3 PM EST ON PARAMOUNT+
Tottenham defeat was a buzz kill
It’s been 24 hours and I have emotionally recovered from Arsenal’s derby debacle at Tottenham. It was such a buzz kill. During a match that saw the Gunners control possession 63% of the time, there was a lot of expectations for the squad to find a second goal and pull…
Could Guendouzi be on his way out of Arsenal?

The comeback kid, Shkodran Mustafi
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Shkodran Mustafi has to be Arsenal’s Comeback Player of the Year. Here’s a guy who was so prone to making costly mistakes supporters would actually curse his name when he ran onto the pitch. He was ridiculed, vilified and belittled to a point…

A disappointing draw, but the points will come
