Saturday the 4th February 2017 was the day for the first time in my life, since I can remember when I woke up on the day of an Arsenal match and I had no fervour or sense of excitement for a match. Now keep in mind I’m forever the dreamer when it comes to football […]
It’s been an awful end to the week for any Gooner. Some are angry, some are sad, very few must still be positive; but, as much as our feelings towards the scheme of things do matter, I can’t imagine how the players and the manager feel and that’s what really matters at this time. Cech […]
It is easy to get emotional over Saturday’s game and I am no exception so I understand the anger and frustration of the fans. It is an annual experience at this time of year. We are now playing for a top four finish. I could have sat down and written this on Saturday night, but […]
In my almost 13 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve witnessed a lot of defeats. Yesterday’s 3-1 surrender to Chelsea was by no means the worst. In fact, I can think of a handful of draws much more painful than some defeats Arsenal suffered down the line. Before you shout “any draw is better than any […]
Well, it looks like the last throw of the dice, doesn’t it? Drinking in the last chance saloon for Arsenal. To say I’m hugely disappointed in where this season seems to be heading would be stating the bleeding obvious. I’m also angry. At myself, first of all. Yet another season I’ve allowed myself to buy […]
We are taking a trip in the time machine back to the late 1980’s for this week’s Highbury Hero. Arsenal have had some brilliant left backs over the years and this man is no exception. Such a consistent player and a member of the famous back four. It is Nigel “Nutty” Winterburn. Nigel was highly […]
The Watford defeat hurts big time. It doesn’t go away. Three days on and the frustration at missing the opportunity remains and the questions remain unanswered. Why were we not “mentally prepared” as Wenger admitted? How could Watford, with such a poor run coming into the game, be sharper, quicker and more committed? Was the […]
If anyone needed further evidence that this season should be the final one of Arsene’s managerial reign, our defeat against Watford should have provided them with it. After an impressive five goal victory, away at Southampton, I arrived at the Emirates in an optimistic mood and confident that the team would win the game. However, […]
This is the second in a series of Wenger-related posts by me. I am Wenger Out, but still revere him for his achievements. My intention here in this series is to highlight and correct some misconceptions or misinterpretations of his tenure, since he should be seen by ALL of us (Wenger in or out) as […]
I agree with Andrea Rosati from his piece on Wednesday that we are now in a position where Wenger has to make 100% correct tactical decisions beginning with Chelsea. Conte has Chelsea playing to a system, which the team understands, and he has fitted all his square pegs into square holes. The key to his […]
