#AskingForAFriend Has Mkhitaryan forgotten how to play football? #AskingForAFriend Who scouted Mustafi and said “yes, £35m” #AskingForAFriend How much does Aubameyang spend a season on haircuts? #AskingForAFriend Should the team take travel sickness pills before getting on the bus? #AskingForAFriend What is Steve Bould’s role at the club? #AskingForAFriend We have two of the best […]
Unai Emery once led Sevilla to a whole season without an away win, ironically, the season they won the Europa League in 2015-16. The Spaniard has found it tough away from home with the Gunners this season, but why? Arsenal have won just 10 games away from home in nearly 2 seasons of Premier League […]
WERE SUMMER DECISIONS TOLD IN SPRING? Positives, Needs and Hopes Were Summer transfer decisions told to the players in Spring? This is an educated guess, not knowledge…… What happened after the Napoli tie? Such an impressive result against a very good opponent and then a total 3 game collapse. I don’t think it’s too far […]
Out-Foxed at the King Power This was a new low. And I feel it was coming from the off. The team selection was fair, in terms of the player quality. It was seemingly a 442 we were playing, but then from the off, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers got his players up for it, […]
Leicester City vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We have another away day, and this time at the King Power Stadium, the home of Leicester City. It’s been a mixed season for Leicester, with the untimely death of their owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Seasoned manager Brendan Rodgers has also come in, and despite not achieving fully […]
‘WHO STOLE THE JUMPERS?’ Positives, Needs and Hopes One of Unai Emery’s very first soundbites was, “We want to be protagonists!” I’m glad he wants to be as all fans love attacking football but we are protagonists only every once in a while. Personally, I would not have made this statement without the individual […]
‘The best of the worst of the rest? I have been a bit quiet on the site over the last month or so. Manic work schedule and a well-earned holiday have restricted my output. So on Sunday night, I finally found a bar in Khao Lak showing the game and, to be fair, I should […]
What a weekend for sitting out in the sun and enjoying an early summer. Blue skies all around and I should be happy. Unfortunately, a cloud hanging over AFC is spoiling my mini holiday. I have read Mike McDonald`s excellent article and he very succinctly describes his dissatisfaction with Mustafa. I don`t think I could describe […]
Arsenal 2-3 Crystal Palace Premier League Review Our top four hopes have been dented, and in some ways shattered. Roy Hodgson has proven he’s no dead/joke manager since his game plan worked a treat. And despite Manchester United and Spurs losing, we couldn’t capitalise on their failures. We failed just as much. This […]
‘THE £100 MILLION UPGRADE’ Positives, Needs and Hopes I’ve decided to not cause myself any further pain. It would be super easy to go in two footed on that selection and performance but no doubt you’ve read that over and over already as it’s 35 minutes after the final whistle and that’s all I’ve read.
