It’s Southampton away in a couple of hours as our unlikely quest for a top 4 spot continues. The Saints have become somewhat a bogey team for Arsenal lately, with the Gunners losing the previous two league fixtures at St. Mary’s. Both were notable losses too: the first made the manager drop Szczesny and subsequently […]
We face Manchester United today, but the game will definitely miss the spark of an important rivalry. It’s 5th vs 6th, and even a win won’t move Arsenal above United. In the end, whether we finish the campaign 5th or 6th doesn’t really matter. I have next to no hope we can break into the […]
Howdy. It’s the North London derby today and a start of a very tricky run-in. After playing Spurs away, we face United, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland and Everton, with only former game and the latter two at home. Can’t remember when we last had a finish to the season so challenging. However we are totally culpable […]
Howdy. We face Crystal Palace today and it’s another must-win situation for us. I’m talking more our future prospects here than a need to win because of a shambolic run. Our last five league games will be extremely tough to get all 15 points from (Spurs, United, Everton, Stoke and Soton in there somewhere), so […]
Albeit playing Manchester City after four league defeats in five games is less daunting than playing Chelsea on the back of such a streak, this is hardly the best way to get into the swing of things nonetheless. My usual line “we’ll produce a response after a defeat like that” died a horrible death more […]
Howdy. It’s the West Bromwich Albion enigma the Gunners have to crack today and, taking into account our poor recent form and the fact Pulis is in charge of the Baggies, this is not going to be a walk in the park. Team news update Arsene Wenger faces an unenviable task of shaking the current […]
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted something. I hope you’ll pardon this self-imposed exile from your truly, but, akin to last season’s loss to United, the crushing defeat to Bayern Munich proved one too many for me. I don’t have any idea whether things will go uphill, in fact, I do not […]
Howdy. It’s Hull we face on Saturday, while all being preoccupied with one single question: is there life after death? Well, strictly speaking it’s what point there is in the rest of the campaign after a failed title bid?, but I just wanted to add a bit of drama. Because clearly there is not enough […]
Well, it looks like the last throw of the dice, doesn’t it? Drinking in the last chance saloon for Arsenal. To say I’m hugely disappointed in where this season seems to be heading would be stating the bleeding obvious. I’m also angry. At myself, first of all. Yet another season I’ve allowed myself to buy […]
Howdy. It’s Burnley today and a win will lift the Gunners to second in the table. Yesterday all of Liverpool, Spurs, City and United dropped points, clearing the path for us to overtake the former two and increase the gap on the latter pair. On paper screen, Burnley at home looks as winnable a fixture […]
