I have written and re-written this blog a few times. I decided to shelve it until after the F.A. Cup match vs. Watford, a match I was sure that Arsenal were going to narrowly win. However, I was mistaken. The Arsenal defence needs an overhaul. The two goals that were conceded were both avoidable and […]
I held back to see what the reaction from fans and the media would be to our exit from the FA Cup. It seems that the pendulum has now distinctly swung towards the “Arsene Out” brigade. It ranges from the DT/Piers Morgan faction (and there are apparently groups of divergent opinionated fans who are prepared to […]
How Löw can we go? February Fever has turned into March Madness, it’s all gone Pete Tong, again and I’m afraid to say but I think the time has finally come. Loyalty comes at a price and I believe it is a price we have now paid. Arsene has a mission statement “The Right Way” and […]
I would like to start this piece by apologising to you, my readers, for I haven’t written home for quite some time. Going over the horror show that was the United defeat sapped me of my last drops of energy and desire to write about the Gunners and the surrender to Swansea did little to […]
The famous Voltaire quote comes to mind (except it wasn’t Voltaire who said it) “I disagree with everything you say but will defend to the death your right to say it”. The Banner Man has a view. He thinks Wenger should have moved on. That is his view. Others agree with him and others, me […]
On Tuesday night, Arsenal secured their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with an ultimately dominant 4-0 victory over Hull City. In the original encounter, the Tigers earned a replay after holding the Gunners to a frustrating 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium but it was much easier for Arsene Wenger’s men in […]
I have just seen the news and comments on TV regarding the Hull match. I am delighted with the result and the performance however I am very disappointed to see the banner produced for Arsene Wenger`s attention. I am well known as a critic of Arsene but there are two messages on the banner – […]
A solitary point is rarely viewed as a cause for celebration but given the circumstances that unfolded at White Hart Lane on Saturday, I’ll make an exception. Having seen Francis Coquelin get himself needlessly dismissed and our one goal advantage turned into a one goal deficit within the space of just seven minutes, it is […]
So today the Arsenal squad or those fit and selected to will fly to Hull for our 7pm FA Cup replay against Steve Bruce’s Tigers. An additional fixture the team could do without but one for which they only have themselves to blame. In a strange way however the match takes on greater significance strangely […]
