Arsenal 3-0 AFC Bournemouth Premier League – Emirates Stadium – 9th Sept. 2017 That is more like it. Today was sexy football. As sexy as a Miss World/Miss Universe event after-party…. And we got a clean sheet too, which is a plus. Overall, every player had a decent game, including the subs (Alexis included). Though […]
Well, that went a bit better, didn’t it? A convincing win at home, some breathtaking football and a clean sheet on top. Yummy. Of course we have to take a toothless Bournemouth into account. Eddie Howe’s side offered precious little and at one point the commentator said it was probably the worst he has seen […]
I think the last thing you need on a Monday morning (albeit a bank holiday makes it better) is me starting this review with a phrase: “I’ve seen Arsenal lose many games”. Before going on to recapture some of the hammerings past. It will certainly do nothing good for your mood. Let’s just set the […]
Last season started at 100mph. Playing at home, Arsenal looked decent going forward, but vulnerable at the back, playing out a match that ended 4-3. Last night, 12 months had past, though little had changed, with the same questions asked and the same scoreline occurring. Fortunately, this time it was a win over Leicester rather than a […]
I’m not sure where to start today, I’m so filled with emotion. Ramsey wheeling away in celebration, Mertesacker and Koscielny lifting the cup together, the sight of a victorious Arsene Wenger… I have truly enjoyed the occasion, and I’m happy more than I can put into words. It is a boundless elation, a pure and […]
So, that’s it then. Over and done with the Premier League until August. I’d like to say I won’t miss it, but I will. We have hit form in the last ten games, which made the end of the season quite enjoyable. I wouldn’t mind if the season ended in February/March, however now I […]
Another win, another home clean sheet. I think I can get used to that. Pity the season is almost over, we’ve just about found our groove. West Brom didn’t do us any favours at the Etihad, so Man City are basically out of reach. There are five goals between the teams, so we’ll need to […]
I think the only appropriate place to start this report is to apologise for something I said after we lost to Tottenham: “And barring four wins in five remaining games, our total this season won’t be better than in 2016. Want a bet we won’t amass 12+ points before the end of May?” I hold […]
I must admit I was very worried before the game yesterday. St. Mary’s has become a hard place to visit in recent seasons. Southampton have also been a problem at the Emirates – our two last League Cup exits are a testament to that. However what we witnessed was a mature performance from an Arsenal […]
It’s amazing how much of a difference one win can make. Suddenly the season doesn’t look beyond salvation, the players don’t look beyond caring and the formation doesn’t look like a stop-gap solution. However what I think made this win stand out was: a) we’ve beaten a top six side b) this side is spearheaded […]
