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 […]
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 […]
Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace – PL preview After the triumph in Naples, we face fellow Londoners Crystal Palace at home on Easter Sunday. With their keeper, seemingly, not having knowledge of arguably the definitive events of the 20th century (for our country and globally….) Palace seems safe enough though they would want to […]
Napoli 0-1 Arsenal – Europa League QF Second Leg (0-3 agg.) It took a beauty from Lacazette to secure an excellent win in the San Paolo stadium. Napoli was anticipated to be strong, forward, and pressing, as they needed to be. But they weren’t. If anything, I was surprised at how limp […]
Napoli vs. Arsenal Europa League preview QF 2nd Leg (0-2 Aggregate) We’re heading to southern Italy, and the city of Naples – or Napoli in Italian. Napoli has been the biggest challenger to Juventus of late, beating either bigger clubs like Inter and AC Milan in this regard. They’re no slouches really – since they […]
Arsenal and Tottenham – Stadium comparisons/issues Arsenal and Spurs, with the opening of Tottenham’s new ground, will have some inevitable comparisons in their grounds’ financing and operations. Both us and them have built grounds for the same reasons – to provide a footing to compete at the highest levels. And revenue is all in […]
Watford vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We face Watford, and a certain Mr. Deeney, who notably said we lacked the balls (essentially) when he beat us 2-1 in 2017. This comment was perhaps a bit base, since it was on national TV (BT Sport), but it was warranted. We did lack the “cojones” […]
Arsenal vs. Napoli Preview – Europa League QF Preview After the poor game at Everton, we’re back in Europe, and this time vs. Napoli of Italy’s Serie A. This was, of course, the hardest draw in the competition – though I feel whoever wins this will go on to win the competition. However, despite […]
We got stuck in Everton toffee today. And this isn’t the best for our top four hopes – however, I believe we can still get top four. However, this game wasn’t really the best, and Everton outmuscled, outfought, and bullied us. Without disrespecting our previous manager, this was a performance reminiscent of the latter […]
