Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I wrote home. Hopefully that will change from now on. It’s Chelsea away this Saturday as Emery tries to get a better result out of his team than on the opening day. I hasten to add some of our play against City was encouraging and will hopefully continue […]
Chelsea vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview Kings of London “derby” – Defence, midfield, attack analysis Spurs are the enemy, but Chelsea and Arsenal are two global clubs. Tottenham, hence their new and comically overdue and over-budget ground, are a wannabe global player. But we and Chelsea certainly are. We both hold a global […]
Unai Emery will lead out his Arsenal team for the first time as Arsenal host champions Manchester City in an enthralling encounter at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal It’s exciting because no one knows what to expect, formation, lineup, performance, it’s all new, one thing we do know is that everyone will be 100% […]
So it’s Wenger’s final game…..ever. It’s a sad occasion. I’ve wanted him out for a while, but then he is a giant in our club. He got a great send-off for his final league game at home. So we need to give him a win, and to stop our bad away form, at least. This […]
With two matches left of a disappointing, yet historic season, Arsenal make the first of two away trips to end the campaign. The Emirates party to send our existing Manager off was well-intentioned and well-executed but now most Gunners’ minds are already on the future. A new manager, new players, departing players and the beautiful […]

I see ourselves and United as similar clubs in many ways. Both have been definitive in shaping the Premier League as a global sporting brand. Both have had iconic players and managers, in PL history and prior. For every Best, Sir Bobby, Robson, Keane, Schmeichel, Beckham and Cantona, there is a Jennings, O’Leary, Brady, Adams, […]
Arsenal vs. Stoke City preview Premier League – 1st April 2018 Easter Sunday, (H) Stoke is a kind of weird club for us. The Aaron Ramsey thing is naturally big. As is, from their standpoint “Let’s all do the Wenger!!” I don’t dislike nor detest many clubs. The Edmonton-adjacent lillywhites feature here, as do […]
Arsenal vs. AC Milan (Round of 16 – 2nd Leg) Emirates Stadium – March 15, 2018 Can we learn from the Ostersund second leg game? We’ll see. However, with the international break coming up, why not play with as strong a team as possible? This can be mixed of course with young players, or squad […]
We host AC Milan today, merely a week after the first leg. Such are the perks of Europa League though: we have to play catch-up with the Champions League schedule-wise, so ours is a bit more packed as a result. If there was a time I’d prefer the return leg, however, I would say […]
