Following the comments I made to Faisal Mohammad`s blog I have read many reports of the City Game and other blogs on Gunners town. The consensus of all of them is profound disappointment with the Arsenal performances of late. The causes which are cited are also almost universal. They are 1. No commitment 2. No […]
I have long criticised Arsenal for not trying, poor tactics, Badly coached defence etc. Now here we are having been beaten 2-1 by Everton which on paper should have been a fairly straightforward task. Many Arsenal fans, especially those who travelled to the game will be traipsing out one or more of the above complaints, […]
I have been reading a few scribes player ratings for last night’s match and there is a great deal of similarity in the best and worst of what was generally regarded as another poor show when we failed to turn up. The most common reason for it is the “November Curse”. What annoys me about […]
I watched the Arsenal match on Saturday and a feeling of Deja Vu came over me. Can you have multiple Deja Vu? It is November, we are away to Man Utd, we are playing well and we are reasonably confident of the result. The teams came out and Wenger and Mourinho touched hands and ignored each […]
My interest in football articles and in particular those associated with Arsenal was drawn to a number of articles in which the common subjects appeared to be praise for Wenger for the performance of the current team and severe criticism for the ineptitude of Man Utd`s recent managers. Kroenke in particular remarked on the difficulty […]
I have just returned from holidays in Benidorm. I watched all the big matches and I was surprised and disappointed to find that Arsenal supporters were thin on the ground. Thankfully though, I did not meet a single Spud. The big screens were captured by Utd, City and Liverpool and even Celtic fans! Anyway, I paid 2.4 […]
What I took from the PSG match. I was mystified when I saw the team selection. No Xhaka, No Giroud. Ospina for Cech? At the weekend I assumed that Xhaka was not selected because he was being saved for this match. The same applied to Giroud and I could not believe that Wenger would repeat […]
I have just read some very interesting articles today and apart from Alex`s I have left comments. I didn’t comment on Alex’s, as usual, well-written one because I am including some of the points raised by him in this attempt at analysing where we are after the week end. Firstly his guess at what the […]
I would love to be writing to say that it is a lovely morning and the sun is shining through the window. I would dearly love to say that Arsenal banked another three points by playing Leicester off the park and that we now sit level with the big boys Man Utd., Man City, Chelsea […]
I have read the excellent articles by Petits Ponytail, Alex Baguzin and Timothy Hargreaves and this contribution is designed to augment them rather than to try to improve upon them. The one by Timothy was predictive and was written pre the Liverpool match and that is the cue for my lead in. Just before the game […]
