It is that time of year again. The time of the year when the tabloid press roll out their unsubstantiated, fake news regarding that old chestnut, ‘Arsenal’s overpriced Season Tickets’. The Current Bun’s illegitimate half-sister (The Mirror) ran with the usual: “Arsenal fans hit hardest, Arsenal revealed as most expensive Premier League club […]
…aaaaaand we are back to square one. Three games into a new season, with a new head coach and five new faces added to the team and all I see is fans’ unrest. All the nice pre-season talk about getting behind the new head coach and the team seems gone already, the good vibes […]
Much has been written on the form of our Spanish fullback Hector Bellerin and for sure, he has been frustrating from a defensive point of view, for some time in my opinion. Ironically, however, whilst defensively he can be questioned, offensively on Saturday, he seemed to find his feet once more. Many armchair pundits have […]
First half…. an utter mess. Yet again the entire offensive 4 playing poorly all at once. The midfielders playing too slowly and positionally poor on defence. The back four left exposed yet making a litany of poor decisions. Cech keeps us in the game.. again. Second half… our biggest problem this season has been individuals […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
Matchweek 3 sees Arsenal face fellow London side West Ham in what is being called must-win already, here I predict the results with Mark Konieczny, a keen follower of the Premier League, despite being a Brentford fan. You can follow Mark on Twitter: @milik_fan. Wolves v Manchester City: Mark: Wolves looked good at Leicester and certainly […]
Granit Xhaka is a player whom I like. I think under both Wenger and now Emery, he is not being utilised properly. There is a podcast I watch/listen to a lot named Cheeky Sport, and in a recent show one of the hosts called Xhaka “the Swiss Charlie Adam….” Now, this was intended to […]
I hate losing and I’m disappointed by every defeat that Arsenal suffers. However, I wasn’t angry or surprised by our defeat against the current league champions, Manchester City, in our opening game. They are a class above us and everyone else domestically. In saying that, like many others, I expect Liverpool to get much closer […]
While it’s never pleasant to witness your team lose any game of football, let alone several on the trot, I find it extremely hard to get bent out of shape this morning. Context is king here, of course. Had we lost the two opening fixtures under Arsene Wenger, people would have been out in force […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. The past still influences the present This still looks like a Wenger side. Do not blame Emery yet. As I said last week, Arsi ene Wenger left this team with such a complacent tactical attitude and with no repercussions for lack of work ethic. It will therefore take longer than we […]
