As we approach the end of the international break we all heave a collective sigh of relieve and turn our thoughts back to the Premier League, and in our case: a visit to St James Park. We are all hoping that Emery’s new Arsenal can build on two hard-fought (if not entirely convincing) wins over […]
Emery dream-team. Who can best suit his style, and help us compete for the league again? Things are shaping up under Emery. A number of the defensive issues remain. But then it’s often said that a team takes the shape of a manager’s footballing philosophy, and even true persona, over time. Wenger is […]
There have been many great sporting rivalries over the years. Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier, Bjorn Borg versus John McEnroe, Sebastian Coe versus Steve Ovett and Nigel Benn versus Chris Eubank are just a few unforgettable rivalries. What they all had in common was they all had a real edge to them. They didn’t really […]
Hector Bellerin – the pioneer A neat traditional side-parting echoing a time gone, a conforming throwback to the George Graham days – and whatever you do, don’t forget those black boots. Hector Bellerin certainly doesn’t subscribe to any of the above. A talented, passionate, principled and intelligent young man who is doing things his own […]
Aaron Ramsey – Is the club at fault? Or is it him? Aaron Ramsey is a player I respect a lot. He’s not a legend in my eyes – don’t get me wrong, he’s clearly not rubbish. But then he hasn’t done it consistently. This is for me my definition of a legend. […]
The Gunners notched their first away win this season, and made it two league wins on the trot in the process, but I think it will be fair to say the manner of the win raised more questions than it answered. Let’s get straight to it. Cech’s distribution is abysmal – again While it’s clear […]
At half time I often check the thoughts of a few on twitter. Emotions can cloud. Clive Palmer @clivepafc is becoming increasingly well respected and often has the pulse. Today my main thought concurred with his: in-game management needed to be improved. Emery makes statements at half time either with subs or obvious improvements. The […]
Cardiff City 2-3 Arsenal – Premier League review A hard fought win in the Welsh capital for us, and about time we got another away win. Our last trip to this part of our country saw one of our worst defeats last season. But today, we got the win, and overall it was […]
Hi everyone. We face Cardiff away this coming Sunday and the game will come as another test of our credentials. After an underwhelming, though somewhat expected, outcome of the first two games, the Gunners went on to win against West Ham. The performance was not ideal from what I have glimpsed, but at least we […]
