Sunday the 28th of August, 2011. The day when the Arsenal Football Club, our club, were handed their heaviest defeat in Premier League history, conceding eight goals and slumping to 17th on the table. It was painful. It was embarrassing. It was surreal. A six-goal loss to a team we aim to compete with each [...]
Arsenal have agreed a fee, believed to be around £22 million, to sell Samir Nasri to Manchester City. It’s unbelievable to see him go really, considering he only joined the club two seasons ago. He’s an ambitious, confident footballer who knows what he is entitled to and in many ways it will be a shame [...]
