Well it has been quite a week supporting The Arsenal. A stirring come back in the Premier League, an exciting victory over Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, a first glimpse of Kieran Tierney, the return of Holding and Bellerin and the captaincy decision played out in the public arena. The decision to name Granit […]
Manchester United vs. Arsenal PL Preview The battle of the (former) titans is due again. We haven’t won there in the league at least since 2006 – when a certain Mr. Adebayor scored the winner. The only other victory has been an FA Cup win on route to our triumph in 2015, when […]
Unai Emery must go. This is not one of those post-defeat, rage-fuelled tantrums but a conclusion I came to after a long reflection. I held this back until after the Carabao Cup game against Nottingham Forest to avoid any connection between to over-laborious win against Aston Villa in the Premier League and my piece. I’ve […]
‘THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH OF THE SEASON?’ Really? I think so. Why? Unless Emery is stubborn or blind, he was smacked in the face with a handful of potential changes that he could make based on what we all saw. Changes that could swing our season from ‘decent results, poor performances but fall short again’ […]
The future’s bright – the future is Arsenal? Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest – League Cup review Orange may have morphed into EE – but their old and paraphrased slogan seems applicable here. Old heads like Ozil performed well, but the young and new guns shone. All of this was mixed with our good […]
Wonderful. Painful. Awful. Vital Here’s some facts…. 1) We rarely win when Chelsea, Spurs and Utd lose. We did. 2) We are 3 points ahead of all three of them after 6 games. 3) We played over a half with 10 men and won. 4) From a losing position too. Twice. 5) We are […]
In October 2017 I wrote about a young Arsenal lion named Eddie Nketiah who came roaring to prominence with the winning goal in the league cup victory for Arsenal against Norwich. At the time Arsenal’s front line consisted of Theo Walcott , Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud, who all seemed to be struggling for form […]
Arsenal: Premier League Review So Far It’s been an indifferent start to the Premier League season for Arsenal. Unai Emery’s team has picked up 8 points from their opening five fixtures. The Gunners have shown grit and determination in some games. However, they have thrown away leads and rolled over in others. We’re going to […]
‘THE £50M MAN’ When I was young, clubs invested in Academies because they hoped that they could get a small handful break through to help the first team. That has changed somewhat. Now, clubs hope for this but also have the dream that a gem will come along that they can sell for big bucks […]
Arsenal’s first Europa League game of the campaign will be a welcome distraction from the Premier League. Following the capitulation at Watford, the mood around the Emirates is far from upbeat. Five games into the season isn’t the time to panic. But the rumours that are circling the club about players not understanding the manager’s […]
