Sometimes, the fans are right Positives, Needs and Hopes Over the years I’ve wavered as to how I feel about how the impatient modern culture has infected football and fans in particular. I find it true that most people talk in extremes. Arsenal were brilliant. Arsenal are awful. Extreme views are much like sweeping statements, […]
‘DID ARSENAL PLAY NORWICH OR ARSENAL?’ Positives, Needs and Hopes If you could pick the most important need for improvement on the field, what would you choose? I’ve thought about this too much. I think this means I’m sure of what I think. I’d try to improve defensive transitions. I bet I’m not alone. The […]
‘Sunday, Thursday and Freddie’ A POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Special How did you feel when you found out about Emery/Freddie? It was 5:30am here in Tennessee. It felt weird. Like everyone, I was anticipating it, so it felt very […]
‘Someone dropped a ladder in the deep dark hole’ By the time you read this surely he’s been sacked! If he hasn’t then these thoughts will need to be delayed. I had multiple negative titles and thoughts for this blog but I’m quite honestly bored of writing about Unai Emery. I want to be happy […]
Will Spurs save Arsenal?’ Positives, Needs and Hopes Sometimes other people’s boldness nudges others to action. If our board’s reason for not already firing Unai Emery is that they don’t want to be labelled by others in the game as impatient, then maybe they will be prompted by an unlikely source. There are different reasons […]
‘All eyes on the Arsenal board’ My writings have been lengthy recently. This is because there has been so much to say. This will be shorter. It is shorter because life is simple at Arsenal right now. It is simple because it all pivots on two decisions. I’m not sure that Auba’s form, Ozil’s […]
‘I looked around, but I can’t find HOPE’ When Unai Emery took over I was so excited. To be fair, much of this excitement was due to years of hoping for change. I was impressed that he was making Ozil and Ramsey accountable for poor performances, that we seemed to have more defensive energy […]
‘When Better is Average ‘ Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was the Arsenal board then yesterday’s game would have troubled me more than all the others. Why? I’d say that when you’ve had a group of miserable performances and then (finally) play better, even if it’s a little better, and you still […]
‘A Seminal Moment at the Crossroads’ Any day now it’s about to happen. The Arsenal board will arrive at the crossroads. They have to decide. Most certainly a seminal moment in our recent history. Even though this game was the least important (finally a fun fest for the fans), it once again exposed Emery. We […]
‘The Unnecessary Self Destruction of Unai Emery’ I wonder if anyone in Unai Emery’s circle will ever sit him down and tell him the truth. As and when he leaves Arsenal somebody needs to tell him that he blew up his own birthday party. Last Spring many wanted a rest from Arsenal. In a short […]
