Everton vs. Arsenal – Premier League Preview We travel up to Goodison Park, and face off with the Toffeemen on Sunday. Everton’s form has improved over the past few weeks, with some wins against Chelsea and a strong victory over West Ham to boot. Everton is a traditionally great club in English […]
Arsenal vs. Newcastle United – Premier League preview So, after our adventures in Dubai, we’re back at home with our returning international stars. The interlull is dead; long live the top four/Europa League run-in. We face Newcastle United, and both we and they have points to gain for two differing reasons. We’ve had some […]
Granit Xhaka, at the time of writing on international duty with Switzerland, has been under some scrutiny given some comments he’s made lately. He said the following in an interview with Swiss newspaper Tagablatt: “I’m very ambitious, I want to take the next step, Arsenal does not have to be the last stop.” This has […]
By now, most nay all know that Monchi, or Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo to quote his full name, is going back to Sevilla and won’t be coming to us. But then the change in attention to this, from a few decades ago, is stark. Back then, we would not have cared about appointments like this. […]

This fixture inevitably brings up comparisons of yesteryear, when Wenger was in his peak, and Sir Alex Ferguson was in his pomp. This was arguably the greatest title rivalry in Premier League history – bigger than United/Blackburn, United/Newcastle, or United/Chelsea, or United/City. Both us and United have similar values, attitudes, and history of success (albeit […]
Them 1-1 Us North London Derby review So, we haven’t lost to them in the league this season. But I have some mixed feelings on this game. Yes, we didn’t lose. But let’s be real – we should have won this game. Tottenham, with their lauded and trophyless manager, wasn’t up to it. Alli […]
Cherries pitted at the Emirates This was sexy football again. We had snippets vs. Southampton but we had more of this vs. Bournemouth. The line-up featured our German maestro Mesut Ozil, and a recall for Guendouzi. Auba played up top by himself, but Jenkinson started a as a right-wing back. Monreal started as a centre-back […]
Yes, we’ve had some comical instances which other clubs haven’t had in recent years. City didn’t lose 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern. Spurs haven’t had “Poch In/Poch Out” fights in their stands.
