I don’t normally write analysis pieces, but a couple of graphics I’ve seen recently by the genius analyst @11tegen11 have inspired me, so here goes. Arsene has a decision to make; does he go with Le Coq Blocker or the Stone Cold Kosovan as Santi’s sidekick. Both players have different outlooks to the game with […]
It’s hard to argue that earning a point in the Parc des Princes in the opening game of a new Champions League campaign isn’t a good result. On paper Paris Saint-Germain are comfortably the toughest opponents Arsenal will face in Group A this season and a draw away to them is not one that should […]
So the new season is back and after finishing second in the Premier League last season, we are now back in the Champions League for the 19th season in a row with a tough first group game against Paris Saint German in France, a match which may be our toughest group game. After being drawn […]
I have just read some very interesting articles today and apart from Alex`s I have left comments. I didn’t comment on Alex’s, as usual, well-written one because I am including some of the points raised by him in this attempt at analysing where we are after the week end. Firstly his guess at what the […]
In January 2006, during the winter transfer market something very very strange happened. Arsene Wenger signed on three new players, Abou Diaby, Emmanuel Adebayor and Southampton starlet, Theodore James Walcott. Yes, you read that right, THREE players. Each stayed at The Arsenal for a length of time to varying degrees of success, but of that […]
For this week’s Highbury Hero I’m going back to the early 1990s to talk about our original Super Swede Anders Limpar. When he trotted onto the pitch last Saturday, it brought back so many great memories of him. Hard to believe it’s over a quarter of a Century since he signed for The Arsenal and […]
Recently a habit I had for some time, bubbling under the surface, started to get the better of me: a habit of turning my back on the TV when there’s a dangerous situation near our or our opponents’ goal. Not when such a situation arises from open play, I mostly have free-kicks and penalties in […]
Arsenal is powering their way through the Champions League, but not without issues. As well as many injured players, could Arsenal’s manager be getting cold feet? Arsene Wenger has admitted that he had been repeatedly courted for the PSG job, conceding that their president Nasser al-Khelafi had offered him the job on three separate occasions. […]
Hello everyone. Club football is back again and thank Christ for that. It feels like every Interlull is worse than the previous. I’m sure that’s my memory playing tricks on me, there’s no obvious reason why the breaks could be getting increasingly frustrating, but there you go. Anyway, we have a delicious Saturday of footy […]
Thank God, the interlull is over and the season can start, again, in earnest. To all you who entered the Fantasy Gunnerstown League, thank you. The rest of you….why not? Congrats to Graham Hayward and his “Fish Chops XI” for taking out Fantasy Gunnerstown Part 1, with a massive 1 point lead over his […]
