Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal 17th September 2017 Stamford Bridge – Premier League That was better. Better than Anfield. Better than..well most other top teams in recent years. Conte is supposedly the tactical master but Wenger, the supposed tactical dinosaur, “out-tacticed” Conte. And I’m sure all the pundits, who like us fans rightly dismiss the team, […]
Chelsea vs. Arsenal Stamford Bridge – 17th Sept. 2017 Premier League Preview I think in some ways, Chelsea vs. Arsenal is becoming secondary to Arsenal and Spurs. 10 years ago, or more for that matter, Arsenal fans viewed Chelsea as just another London club. Like a West Ham, Palace, or QPR. But I think, on […]
There is no agenda by the media. Enough of the paranoia The media aren’t stealing your thoughts. No need for the tin foil hat. Look, there is no “media agenda” against us. They don’t hate us, nor are they all closet Tottenham fans reveling in our “demise”. I see numerous fans online who make these […]
Arsenal 3-0 AFC Bournemouth Premier League – Emirates Stadium – 9th Sept. 2017 That is more like it. Today was sexy football. As sexy as a Miss World/Miss Universe event after-party…. And we got a clean sheet too, which is a plus. Overall, every player had a decent game, including the subs (Alexis included). Though […]
Arsenal vs. AFC Bournemouth preview Premier League – 9th Sept 2017 Emirates Stadium Many of our players did reasonably well in the Inter-lull. Let’s see if they can do similarly vs. Bournemouth. Bournemouth may be by the sea, but they are no salts (sorry…) Their manager is highly rated, and who knows, may […]
I will miss the Ox Ox’s introduction to the Liverpool faithful, in his new Liverpool kit, and made at the England camp hurt me. He wanted to leave, granted. And it’s understandable how he wanted to move. But it bothered me since it’s a waste. Emergence When he arrived, he was the next big thing, […]
Why did Wenger change? The recent defeats have made me more pensive about our club than usual. I have said I am Wenger Out for some time here, but then I guess it’s part of my personality and my own vocational experience to be analytical. I have often been involved in roles requiring problem-solving/organisational operations, […]
The transfer window has now shut, and this is a summation of how we did relative to our rivals. CHELSEA Positives – Shut out Costa, who clearly didn’t want to play for them again – Morata – Bakayoko Negatives – Confusion with the board and Conte on signings – Not enough possibly compared to other […]
Cloning players from the past….who could do it in the current era and team? Comparing eras is a fallacy, really. The 1970s had its unique parameters that don’t apply now. They had really shitty pitches, but largely since 3G pitches didn’t exist, nor was the technology for virtually unbroken pitches widespread back then. It’s the […]
Why Wenger needs to go…. Part of the reason why I believe Wenger needs to go is about the relentless pursuit of excellence. It’s also about my own experiences in a working/corporate environment. Lexus used to have a slogan named “The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence”. For me, this epitomises what a successful business, and football […]
