There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick. Then there were two, very similar in the idea they conveyed, […]
Well, that didn’t quite go according to plan, did it? However it also could have been worse: when Aluko took aim from what would be Hull’s only shot on target, I was prepared for the worst. It was a genuine heart-in-the-mouth moment, which would have felt like a cold shower had Aluko been a half-decent […]
Having collected the maximum six points from our last two fixtures, the mood has certainly improved among the clubs fan base in recent weeks. Despite this, the two goal victory at Bournemouth which got us back to winning ways two weeks ago, wasn’t enough to curtail the disagreements between Arsenal supporters on social media sites. […]
Arsenal’s FA Cup fixture against Hull will bring back memories of the memorable 2014 final at Wembley but for the squad and the manager, it is the start of another of those mini blocks of games that could be season defining. Playing Hull, Barcelona and Manchester United in the space of eight days in three […]
Despite being two of their respective nation’s biggest domestic sides, the upcoming Champions League fixtures between Arsenal and Barcelona has a tad of an inferiority complex about it. The all-conquering Catalans are heavily tipped to brush aside a team who are currently favourites to lift the Premier League crown (according to the bookies). After some […]
Supporting Arsenal is a lifetime commitment. We never switch off. There are highs and lows and sometimes summer sports intervene but come July we are scanning the internet for news of possible new arrivals and arrangements for early season fixtures. Today is the 45th anniversary of Charlie George’s two goals to beat Manchester City at […]
Let me get this out of the way first: Arsenal deserved to win the game. Those who say we were lucky to win it are partly right, but saying that without context would not be doing justice to the Gunners. The reality is such: we played Ranieri’s men off the park. We had 78% of […]
I was watching the Leicester match in the company of Man Utd, Spurs and Liverpool fans and whilst the match was unfolding I made the remark that on Valentines day I could feel all the lurve around me? Like Harold at Hastings, I stood my ground and in the face of the hordes around me […]
The Arsenal have, over the decades been blessed with players of tremendous skill, fight, and most importantly, the will to learn and be better than they initially were. We always mention Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Viera, Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg, Tony Adams and a select few when the topic of the greatest players to […]
Howdy. Matchday №26 is looming large (in fact it’s already upon us at the time of me writing this), however, I think I won’t make a grave mistake by assuming most eyes will be fixed on Sunday’s fixtures and not so much on Saturday’s. It is understandable: the top 4 teams are playing one another […]
