Toon 1-2 Arsenal I’m mostly happy after this win, but in part subdued. We got another away win, but no clean sheet. It seems that clean sheets are a premium for us now – we’ve had immense defences in the past, but now it’s near full circle. The famous back four, and then Campbell, […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
Granit Xhaka is a player whom I like. I think under both Wenger and now Emery, he is not being utilised properly. There is a podcast I watch/listen to a lot named Cheeky Sport, and in a recent show one of the hosts called Xhaka “the Swiss Charlie Adam….” Now, this was intended to […]
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
Chelsea vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview Kings of London “derby” – Defence, midfield, attack analysis Spurs are the enemy, but Chelsea and Arsenal are two global clubs. Tottenham, hence their new and comically overdue and over-budget ground, are a wannabe global player. But we and Chelsea certainly are. We both hold a global […]
Mr. Arsenal….captain, leader, legend….but wrong on our opening day defeat… He’s a boss in many ways. I doubt there are many, if any, Gooners alive who don’t rate Tony Adams. Every club seemingly has a pre-eminent player, who represents the best triumphs and spirit of the club in question. For Man United, it’s […]
Arsenal 0-2 Manchester City – Premier League review – 18/19 season opener City are the champions, and we knew it wouldn’t be easy. However, it was a good defeat, if that makes sense. City were the better team overall, and had more chances to score. Though I think we looked to get forward, and […]
