As a community, we are undoubtedly all feeling wounded, raw and a tad sorry for ourselves right now, which is completely understandable. However, in the despondency it is not so hard to find reasons for huge positivity. It has been a wonderful season and we can all trot out the obvious response to recent decline […]
Much has and will continue to be written about Bukayo Saka and his exploits in the famous Arsenal shirt. A shirt, lest we forget, that he has worn since he was 7 years old. 2 seasons ago, after the disappointment of non-selection for the 2020 FA Cup win, still aged only 19, virtually singled handed, […]
Last Saturday’s lunchtime’s goal fest at Villa Park, might have offered us an insight into what life without Thomas Partey could look like, in the short-term at least. As someone who’s views, I respect, suggested to me, with Jorginho playing at 6, Arsenal will have to outscore opponents, because we will concede goals. The adopted […]
A colleague on GT inspired me to articulate something that has been on my mind in recent weeks, by writing this excellent piece earlier today. Thomas Bahnson identified a problem that has become evident as Arteta’s team have recently struggled to break down a well-organised low block from Newcastle, Everton and Brentford. He also pointed […]
My first visit to Highbury was in 1976, and I have been attending Arsenal matches fairly regularly since the early 1980s, when my parents finally allowed me to make trip across to North London on my own. It would be fair to say therefore, that I have heard and sung hundreds of fabulous and frankly, […]
Arsenal under Arteta are sitting 8 points clear at the pinnacle of the toughest, most competitive league in Europe, and it seems we Gooners are still able to find something to complain about. Despite dominating the ‘old enemy’ at their place, securing a comfortable win and a clean sheet, some supporters are amazingly still attacking […]
So, at half-time of Arsenal’s FA Cup third round tie at lowly Oxford, there was a collective fanbase bemoaning that may of the squad’s fringe players simply were not of the quality required for the team to sustain its title challenge. However, there seems to be one player more singled out for criticism than others, Albert […]
Well, that was a hugely frustrating match. In fact, frustration is my overwhelming emotion after being held to a goalless draw at home by, let’s not forget, a Champion’s League challenging team, in Newcastle. I am sure we are all frustrated at Newcastle’s footballing approach, which in all honesty, changed completely after we totally dominated […]
The World Cup has been enjoyable, with surprises galore and of course star performances from our boy Bukayo. However, as Arsenal fans are desperate for our domestic form to continue later this month, we will all have been watching with fingers crossed that none of our players picked up the dreaded injury. Hence, the news […]
As we Gooners savour our team sitting pretty, 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League, our thoughts, for most of us at least, may turn to the World Cup. We probably don’t want it or approve of it, but we do have several of our stars, although thankfully not as many as […]
