Sheffield United vs. Arsenal – PL preview – Monday 21st October 2019 – Bramall Lane, Sheffield. Time to end once and for all our away day “rustiness” in the Steel City We’re off to the Steel City on Monday. Our away form has been rusty over the past few seasons, but then this can […]
Man United 1-1 Arsenal Premier League review We didn’t get the win at Old Trafford after all. It’s been since 2006 and we’re still waiting…. Overall, a draw was a fair result. Both sides had good chances and created moments in the 90 minutes. However, from our standpoint, I feel it’s a disappointment. […]
Manchester United vs. Arsenal PL Preview The battle of the (former) titans is due again. We haven’t won there in the league at least since 2006 – when a certain Mr. Adebayor scored the winner. The only other victory has been an FA Cup win on route to our triumph in 2015, when […]
The future’s bright – the future is Arsenal? Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest – League Cup review Orange may have morphed into EE – but their old and paraphrased slogan seems applicable here. Old heads like Ozil performed well, but the young and new guns shone. All of this was mixed with our good […]
Watford 2-2 Arsenal Premier League Review – 15th Sept., 2019 – Vicarage Road, Watford Same old Arsenal. Always a bad culture.. It always creases me up when I hear the chant “same old Arsenal; always cheating!” It often arises when we’re awarded a foul, and one that is legitimate per the IFAB Laws […]
Watford vs. Arsenal preview Our training ground neighbours are our next opponents, though this may be trickier than anticipated considering their recent managerial change. But there is some beef, of sorts, between us, so it’s intriguing to see how this will pan out. The usual talk when we play them is the “cojones” […]
Why is our defence poor? – Part 2 I wrote earlier that the inclusions of Bellerin, Tierney and Holding won’t alone change our defence. However, why is our defence crap? In this part, I’ll explain where I feel we’ve gone wrong. For me, it’s in stages and has regressed year on year for […]
Tierney, Bellerin, Holding Will their arrival alone lead to better defending? Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, and Kieran Tierney are all young and promising defenders, who Arsenal haven’t had the time to bed in this season. Bellerin dipped a little in the past couple of seasons, though he stepped up before his injury at […]
Us 2-2 Them Emirates Stadium, September 1, 2019 So it ended all square vs. the Scum. Despite some apparent faults at Spurs with Pochettino, Eriksen, et al, we weren’t able to capitalise and get the win. I feel a draw here was fair, in honesty. The narrative from some fans was that […]
So, it’s coming. Us vs. Them. 60,000 ground vs. 62,000 ground. And 30 major trophies vs. 17 major trophies. And a league title won in recent memory vs. a league only fully remembered by the very elderly. That lot has had some issues lately since Pochettino has made some public statements perhaps showing […]
