Reflecting on last night’s narrow cup win I find myself considering what the match against West Ham might suggest for Friday’s visit of Liverpool. Who was not selected and whether that means they have now been upgraded to the ‘A’ Team and on last night performances, who pressed their claims to face the Anfield Reds. […]
Saturday’s victory over Spurs has helped re-instill optimism in many Arsenal fans. The meaningful commitment to width, the dominance by our wingbacks on the flanks, and coordinated team pressing were a few of the many areas we were proficient in. For me however, it was the direct nature of our play and the variety in […]
Suffice to say I am still buzzing after Saturday’s magnificent win over the noisy neighbours from Middlesex. It was quite easily the team’s most comprehensive performance of the campaign to date and after that 90 minutes it would be hard not to point to the return of a certain German defender as being pivotal. It […]
The debate on Arsenal’s contract rebels will rumble on and as long as it does it will only exacerbate the division of opinions on Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez. Neither performed at anywhere near the levels we know they are capable of last time out at the Eithad. The venue for their understated (being polite) […]
Arsenal supporters of all ages and from all over the world are keenly awaiting the general release of ’89 The Film’. The new movie, inspired by the unique climax to the 1988/89 Division One season, that saw The Gunners, having seemingly thrown the title away, travel to Anfield for the last match of the season […]
It has been a largely positive week for Arsenal with wins in three competitions but it is a feature of the Premier League victory over Everton that caught my attention. It has been a case of finding the time to do some research and write something here. Much has been said about Nacho Monreal, by […]
The morning after a hard fought away win in Europe, courtesy of a wondrous goal, we should be waking up to different back pages than the one informing us that Mesut Ozil has told his his pals he is off to Man United. However I find myself neither upset or angry, more resigned and indifferent. […]
There is much to be positive about as an Arsenal fan. After a tricky start to the campaign the team are winning consistently, if not flamboyantly and certain individuals have been key to that. However the two players who have not been integral to the turnaround are still the two players being most discussed in […]
Will the real Aaron Ramsey show himself? Ireland’s victory in Cardiff means that Aaron Ramsey will not have the opportunity to showcase his talents to the watching world in Russia in 2018 as he did so wonderfully in France in Euro 2016. Though watching the Arsenal FA Cup hero huff and puff against a well […]
England missing Wilshere’s vision Looking ahead to a relaxing Sunday and it would be lovely to say in keen anticipation of watching England finish of their World Cup qualification in style. Sadly despite the pressure being off the Three Lions squad I am not hopeful of seeing an exhilarating creative display from Southgate’s team. Not […]
