Yes, Arsenal have found another way to fail to convert superior, well superior everything, except the goals for column, to points on the board. Officially our lowest points tally, at this stage of the season, since 1982. It doesn’t make good reading. But it’s the shots stat really takes the biscuit! Olivier Giroud had the […]
Yes, it’s bloody frustrating supporting Arsenal, but hey, at least it’s not boring. Over the last few weeks, the vitriol between the pro and anti Arsene Wenger camps has reached fever pitch and Twitter has gone into melt down. I think we should take a step back and reflect. Arsene deserves the utmost respect and […]
“A Little Less Conversation” Following Anderlecht, Arsene Wenger said; “We had bad luck because the first goal is offside, we had bad concentration because we thought the job was done, we had fatigue and didn’t win the challenges anymore.” Following Swansea, Wenger said; “It was a game where we were in control and at 1-0 up I […]
I would like to state up front that this week’s view is not an Arsenal blog, but a football blog. So please forgive me for my indulgence. I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Western Sydney Wanderers. I’m not a Wanderers fan (Central Coast Mariners have my allegiance) but WSW recent achievement is […]
Now I know many more esteemed bloggers than I have broached this topic, but I wanted to put a different slant on the subject. Following Saturday’s successful but ultimately disappointing performance, questions regarding our midfield have raised their ugly heads again. Arsene chose the odd but partially enforced formation of 4231, playing the much maligned […]
Invincibles to Unavailables And so it came to pass, with Welbz’s (potential) injury, Arsenal now have a starting XI of sidelined players for Saturday’s face off with Hull Kingston Tigers. Total cost – £120m (give or take a couple of quid) Combined estimated time unavailable – 18 months (give or take a couple of weeks) Combined time […]
Daniel Nice Tackle Messiah Welbeck (bloody auto correct!) He’s not the messiah; he’s a very naughty boy! Danny: I’m not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly! Tabloid press: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity. Danny: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? Alright! […]
DOCTOR AND THE MEDICS Colin Lewin and (Doctor) Gary O’Driscoll are sat in the London Colney medical centre, drinking their morning coffee, waiting for the usual Monday influx. At 8.30am there’s a knock at the door; the Doctor looks at Colin; “Bet you a fiver, it’s Abou” “Not a chance, you pull that one every […]
Welcome to Your Local AHA meeting In a small church hall in Cheshire, a group of dishevelled men sit in a circle, eating rich tea biscuits and drinking tea. Everyone goes quiet when a small ginger guys stands up to speak. “Hi may name is Paul and I’m an addict, an Arsenal Hating Addict.” “Hi […]
Welcome To The Arsenal Arms It’s my sixth season of self-enforced exile from my spiritual home at The Emirates and finally I’ve got my lazy arse in gear and joined Arsenal Australia. This also coincided with the official opening of Arsenal Australia’s new Sydney base; ‘The Arsenal Arms’ at the Croydon Park Hotel. And I […]
