Having slept on yesterday’s draw, watched the highlights and both AW’s presser and post-game interview, and gulped down some validol to get over the fact how monumental an excuse of a ref Anthony Taylor is, I’m ready to say the draw was a fair result overall. For every good attack of ours we looked just […]

Alexis springs to life and the Wilshere/Xhaka blossoming partnership may give Wenger a Ramsey Headache
The Gunners managed to eke out their third away win of the season yesterday, ending Palace’s unbeaten run streak in the process. I never expected the game to be easy, we have been culpable of complicating our lives unnecessarily away from home, so I’m grateful for the win. However I cannot quite grasp the words […]
Ozil makes the difference, but it’s the back four that stands out: #AFC1-0NUFC
Well, that was a bit better, wasn’t it? The Gunners, back on home turf, finally managed to get their hands on three points, despite a somewhat underwhelming performance. In the end a moment of sheer brilliance from Mesut Ozil separated the two sides, however that doesn’t mean the game was devoid of other interesting bits […]
Abject Gunners spoil the festive mood by falling short once again
Following the defeat to Manchester United, my dad and I engaged in our usual post-game analysis phone conversation. He was fuming, deriding us for not taking something from the game having made so many chances, whilst at the same time making stupid errors at the back. He was right, but for some reason I was […]
Let’s play the best header in the league and never cross the ball!!
Some time into the second half I had not so much a distinct feeling of deja vu, but rather an impression of an unending nightmare. You know how sometimes you have a very vivid and highly unpleasant dream, wake up in the middle of the night, go back to sleep, and are treated to the […]
Floundering Mertesacker, Hot Headed Xhaka and the Incompetence of Referees
I have just watched the match on TV and I was resolved to post a blog on the game when I sat down to write it and I saw Alex Baguzin`s preview. As usual he was pretty accurate in the make-up of the team and he identified the threats of the opposing team. Unfortunately he […]
Gunners are found lacking as De Gea saves United from a spanking: AFC1MUFC3
The only place I can start today is to say just how massively disappointed I am. Disappointed with the result, disappointed with making a lot of despicable people happy, disappointed our fans went home on that freezing night empty-handed. Before the game there was a genuine buzz of excitement in and around the stadium. I’m […]
A Bittersweet Defeat as De Gea and Marinner defy Arsenal
Arsenal 1-3 Man United Review I’m not sure about anybody else, but this loss for me was a tolerable one. No fan ever likes to lose, naturally. But bar some individual errors, I think we attacked well throughout. Our passing was crisp, and our attacking players were sharp. Though this really is a bittersweet defeat. […]
Ozil’s finally delivers a ’10/10′ performance v Terriers – Now for Consistency Mesut.
Arsenal 5-0 Huddersfield Town Premier League review Well…..that was satisfying – a 12th consecutive Premier league home win. Though for most of the game, we were very pedestrian. Our issues are largely mental, and this was no different. We scored initially via Lacazette, but then for much of the first-half, we looked pretty stolid. But […]
Gunners’ football becomes art as Mesut Ozil tears Huddersfield apart: #AFC5HTFC0
Arsene Wenger was once asked what is his ultimate goal in football. He responded with that: “You strive for perfection. And when you reach these moments, even for 5 minutes, they stay in your memory forever.” Yesterday, the Gunners managed to squeeze the perfection period in even less – just 4 minutes, from 67:44 to […]
