Hello everyone. Club football is back again and thank Christ for that. It feels like every Interlull is worse than the previous. I’m sure that’s my memory playing tricks on me, there’s no obvious reason why the breaks could be getting increasingly frustrating, but there you go. Anyway, we have a delicious Saturday of footy […]
Hello. Game week №3 is nearly upon us, which means we are about to see our players don the blue (gray?) and yellow once again, before the international break kicks in. This time around a win for the Gunners is absolutely vital, even though not all players will be available still, to say nothing about the two […]
So, the new season is just around the corner. We start the 16/17 campaign in style, by facing Liverpool at home. This should ensure the players and the manager approach the game fully concentrated on the task ahead. No underestimating our opponents, Liverpool is one of the teams to beat this season. So in a […]
For The Gunners pre-season begins in earnest tonight in Lens. FC Lens are no longer the top side who battled Wenger’s great 1998 double winners in the Champion’s League. Indeed they are not even a top division side in France, finishing last season 4th in Ligue 2 but they should provide a good work out […]
Howdy. We take on Aston Villa today in the last game of the season and we all know the possible outcomes: a win can still elevate us to 2nd, a loss drop to 4th. Both scenarios are rather unlikely, so a 3rd-place finish seems in order. Team news update Ozil is back up again, neither […]
Howdy. We play Sunderland today and in order to regain our top 3 spot we need a win. However it most likely won’t be a straightforward game, seeing as Sunderland face an uphill battle for survival and Newcastle’s point at Anfield did little to alleviate the Black Cats’ fears. Head-to-head We have a pretty good […]
I’ll start this preview with an astonishing bit I’ve only just dug up: Crystal Palace have won ONE game in the last 16 league matches. It was a recent home win vs Norwich, the game which ended 1-0. This run of sixteen games included an 11-game winless streak, during which the Eagles have only drawn […]
The game against Manchester United is looming large and it is the 3rd match in a busy schedule. It started vs Hull in the cup, continued against Barca, now we have United and then, with a 3-5 days interval, Swansea, Tottenham, Hull again, Watford/West Bromwich (depending on whether we beat Hull in the replay), Barcelona […]
Howdy. Matchday №26 is looming large (in fact it’s already upon us at the time of me writing this), however, I think I won’t make a grave mistake by assuming most eyes will be fixed on Sunday’s fixtures and not so much on Saturday’s. It is understandable: the top 4 teams are playing one another […]
Howdy. The football is back today (along with yours truly) and, much as I like to avoid the cliched phrase, we really do have to win this one. Spurs scraped past Twatford yesterday to open up a 3-point lead on the Gunners (naturally, having played a game more) while City went down to Leicester at […]
