Dear Fellow Gunners Three good wins followed by the United defeat and now two draws in matches we would expect to win and then the hard fought win over Newcastle. A friend approached me after the win – quite agressively commenting on my support for Wenger. I did not want to raise the temperature and […]
Well, that was a bit better, wasn’t it? The Gunners, back on home turf, finally managed to get their hands on three points, despite a somewhat underwhelming performance. In the end a moment of sheer brilliance from Mesut Ozil separated the two sides, however that doesn’t mean the game was devoid of other interesting bits […]
Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United Premier League review I was in the North Bank Upper for this game, and I expected us to win beforehand, and we did. But my sincere hope was not to see “square pass football”. Even though we won, my wish was not granted. We didn’t attack with much width. We dominated […]
We face Newcastle at the Emirates today, and this gives us another chance at redemption. A third one after losing to United. While I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic given the way we’ve played recently, two things make me somewhat calmer we won’t shoot ourselves in the foot once again: it’s a home fixture and […]
Following the defeat to Manchester United, my dad and I engaged in our usual post-game analysis phone conversation. He was fuming, deriding us for not taking something from the game having made so many chances, whilst at the same time making stupid errors at the back. He was right, but for some reason I was […]
Some time into the second half I had not so much a distinct feeling of deja vu, but rather an impression of an unending nightmare. You know how sometimes you have a very vivid and highly unpleasant dream, wake up in the middle of the night, go back to sleep, and are treated to the […]
West ham 0-0 Arsenal It really seems we’re in the Twilight Zone. Wasn’t this akin to the Southampton performance? Or the United one to some extent? More “pass, pass, pass”, and not enough “shoot, shoot, shoot”, and “score, score, score”. The overview here is very like recent games, however: Our clear-cut chances were limited. Wilshere, […]
We are in the middle of our eight games this month and the transfer window opens in about two weeks, so….. Will the real Arsenal players please stand up – May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please? Will the real Arsenal players please stand up? I repeat will the real […]
In a few short hours we take on West Ham and it’s fair to say this game doesn’t look nearly as straightforward as it did two weeks ago. Back then we have battered Huddersfield at home while West Ham was at the wrong end of a pasting at Goodison Park. This in itself tells you […]
Global support, Wrighty, and change…. How global support has changed from the past…. Ian Wright (Wright Wright) is a certified Arsenal legend, and a major reason why I am a Gooner. He not only scored a bag load of goals. He did so with class, tenaciousness, and guile, and to point where he became our […]
