If Arsenal was a human being, we’d say it was sick. We’d say it had a chronic illness, extending for years. But what is this illness? To treat it, we need to know the diagnosis, before we can get to prognosis or cure. I could write many thousands of words on this – but here […]
It’s Freddie’s first home game, and would it be a sound win? Or will it end up as stony as Brighton’s beach? We ended this game 1-1 in the latter part of last season – and arguably this led to Emery’s downfall. Or at the least, it was a major catalyst in fans turning against […]
The first game of the Freddie era has come and gone. And in many ways, it was the more things change, the more they stay the same. Look, I love Freddie. He had red hair, and amongst Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, Pires, et al., he was arguably our best player in the 01/02 double […]
After the international break, we’re back with a home game vs. Southampton. England and Wales, amongst the four UK sides, have qualified for Euro 2020 outright. Can we get the win here, in our hope to qualify for another competition commencing in 2020 (Champions League)? If we can, it’s dependent on our tactics, […]
Most Gooners out there are Emery Out. Recent results haven’t been good – evidently. And on the eve of the Leicester City game, it’s dark and peak times at Arsenal right now. Even those who were largely Wenger In want Emery gone. This shows how dark it’s got. This is a time where our new […]
Most Gooners are now Emery Out. I am too, and the Sheffield United defeat was my personal tipping point. I don’t think he can take the club forward anymore. However, should we sack him, there is a thought amongst fans that grates me, to some extent. Would it be “un-Arsenal” to sack […]
This is another low – as we surrendered another lead and this time it was to Wolves. A draw was perhaps the fairest result as Wolves had chances – and overall had more shots on goal than we did. Yet again, we’ve been out-shot, and this isn’t on. Wolves is a decent side, and they […]
I don’t hold a season ticket but I try to attend as many games as possible. I’m just a Red member, though I’m at position c. 20,000 in the season ticket list or so…. However, it’s not a good look if a club like THE Arsenal has some empty seats available. It doesn’t look good […]
Today was another poor game for Arsenal. Crystal Palace is a club, for me at least, that I view as a feeder of some club legends (Ian Wright and Kenny Sansom) and duds (Eddie McGoldrick). I recall that Gilles Grimandi scored a wonder goal against them, on the way to us winning the 1998 Double. […]
Our record signing Nicolas Pepe got the win here, with two wonderfully executed free-kicks at the death. But overall, it was another limp performance. Yes, we won, and we should be happy with that. And Vitoria Guimaraes was not here to lie down or be the accessory. They pressed us well and passed well through our midfield. However, […]
