Watford 2-1 Arsenal Hornets sting Arsenal…… So….is this the same old Arsenal? Is it? I think so. Without complaints of sour grapes, I don’t believe Watford overly dominated. It was a mix of Watford’s clinical finishing when it mattered, and Arsenal’s slackness. First half Both teams had some good inter-passing, but created few clear-cut chances. […]
Are Arsenal fans spoilt? – Part 1 It’s often said that Arsenal fans are seen as both insufferable and a joke by other fanbases. I can see why this is so, but then I think to some degree it’s unfair. What prompted this piece was the latest Footballistically Arsenal podcast, in which it was discussed […]
Arsenal 2-0 Brighton and Hove Albion Review – Premier League 1st October 2017 Arsenal got a comfortable victory, though Brighton did threaten in parts. However, Arsenal’s quality was too much for the Seagulls, and are our in fifth place and level on points with Chelsea. The line-up had few surprises, though Koscielny was injured and […]
Arsenal vs. Brighton Premier League Preview Sunday 1st October 2017 Our goodly manager is on the third of the games he complained (rightly so in my mind) about. We welcome the Seagulls to our stadium, and it’s nice to see new teams in the Premier League, especially those we don’t play in the league that […]
BATE Borizov 2-4 Arsenal Europa League 28th September 2017 Arsenal haven’t played much in Belarus before. BATE Borizov are the long-running champions of Belarus, and narrowly missed out of Champions League qualification. They have however played and done well vs. Bayern Munich amongst others in previous seasons. So whilst it was not going to […]
Arsenal 2-0 WBA Emirates Stadium 25th September 2017 – Premier League A reasonable performance tonight from Arsenal. WBA had some good chances in the first-half, and looked pretty dangerous in parts. However, they crumbled as Arsenal’s quality was too much for them. Pulis had supposedly never won at Arsenal before, and he needs to wait […]
Arsenal vs. WBA Premier League – 25th September 2017 Emirates Stadium So a prodigal son, as it were, of Mr. Kieran Gibbs may be returning. I have nothing against him, he did his part but in the end it wasn’t good enough. However, Pulis comes with his WBA team, and most likely will try to […]

Arsenal 1-0 Doncaster Rovers Carabou Cup Wednesday 20th September 2017 It’s funny that Darren Ferguson is the Doncaster manager. His father, Sir Alex, was in the stands tonight, and it seems daddy Ferguson channelled one of his performances from his Man U days into his son’s tonight. How Doncaster are a League 1 team is […]
Arsenal vs. Doncaster Rovers Carabao Cup Wednesday 20th September 2017 As autumn dawns and it gets colder, the League Cup’s sponsors are a cold drink too. I don’t drink energy drinks that much, but then this isn’t a “monster” tie. Nor will this tie have a strong bite to it, like a “gator”(ade). Sorry, I […]
