Arsenal 3-2 Southampton review – Premier League – 8th April 2018 (H) We were lucky. I’d readily admit that. We didn’t really play well for extended periods. But then we managed to sneak the win all the same. The starting line up was OK, though I don’t believe it was that weak. Wenger clearly […]
Since last weekend there has been a lot of chatter around the formation and how we can get the best out of the best we currently have on the books. I thought I’d take this and hopefully run it through the whole squad. With 7 games to go and our realistic target of maintaining 6th […]
We take on Southampton today, looking to build on the back-to-back league wins and a midweek bashing of CSKA. Even though Southampton have lost consecutive games with an identical 3-0 scoreline (to West Ham and Newcastle no less), I’m still wary of the threat they pose. A number of our recent clashes come to mind, […]
Sitting in the Clock End to witness Mesut Özil’s stellar performance against CSKA Moscow on Thursday night was a real privilege. Rarely do I come away from a game in awe at what I’ve seen, but his performance was up there with his top ones for Arsenal and any individual display I’ve seen from a […]
It was an explosive performance against CSKA in Thursday night’s Europa League encounter and this was in no small part down to the team selection and crucially the structure of that team. The set up gave full license to Arsenal’s attacking flair and most evidently to Aaron Ramsey. If we suspend belief just for the […]
It’s now on to Russia (with love)…from a sound first-leg victory. It’s often said that we don’t play sexy football anymore. That Wengerball is as extinct as the dinosaurs, the dodo, mammoths, and Neanderthals. Well apparently, Wengerball made a Lazarus-esque comeback last night. Despite some poor defending at times, we tore CSKA Moscow to […]
I have been silent for some time as far as articles go, but frankly, there has been very little to inspire me that hasn`t been covered by the excellent Gunners Town crew. I have confined myself to commenting fairly detailed replies on many of these articles. In recent times though, there is one consistent topic […]
Whether Arsène Wenger stays or goes at the end of the 2017/18 season, it is likely to be a very busy transfer window at the Emirates Stadium this summer. Targeting just two or three players won’t be sufficient if Arsenal are to rid themselves of the dead wood that will see them miss out on […]
Hopefully another nail in Stoke’s relegation coffin…. I attended this game, and it was good to be back at our home again. I don’t go as often as I wish to, but I do my best. Our ground, despite being 12 years old, still holds up well in both English and global terms. It’s a […]
I woke up with the intention of writing a conventional match review but first off, I asked the question on Twitter, which, in some shape of form, is probably on every Gooner’s mind this morning. Can Arsenal, as a consistent selection shoe horn Ozil, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette and Aubameyang into the starting eleven? Earlier in the […]
