There were two big pluses to this game: we won and it took us one step closer to the end of the campaign. The performance, however, isn’t much to write home about, so I’ll start with it. The game It was dire. It was mind-boggingly dull. If I was a neutral I would have switched […]
I rarely watch Arsene’s pressers, you know. It has nothing to do with a particular result, I just find it easier to read a transcript. Lately I can hardly do even that, for reasons you probably understand. Yesterday I was at uni from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. and only got home around 7 p.m. […]
Well, what more can I say? I feel a strong, almost overwhelming desire to just copy and paste huge chunks of text from my Palace review. Not only because GroundHog day is now associated more with Arsenal than the movie, the day itself or even groundhogs, but because I’m tired of dissecting this tidal wave […]
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 […]
Finally a win and a convincing win with a lot of positives. No “ifs”, no “buts”, no dissecting another below-par performance and finding possible reasons behind it. A simple, emphatic win and it doesn’t really matter West Brom couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the game. All that matters is that we’ve secured the much-needed three […]
Words fail me once again. I don’t think I can say anything you don’t already know. I’ll probably start with the bit from my preview: “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 […]
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 […]
Howdy. It’s been quite some time since I’ve written a regular preview. Hopefully now that Arsenal have found their groove (knocks on wood) I’m back for good. Huge thumbs-up to Dave for doing a top job of standing in for yours truly at such a hard time. We are facing West Ham at Boleyn Ground […]
The summer is fast approaching and this can only mean one thing: transfer speculation is about to begin. In fact, it already sucker-punched us like a kick to the privates during the international break. A host of clubs was linked with a host of players, Arsenal was among these clubs. We were linked with a […]
The lion’s share of our fans’ disappointment at how this season is shaping out to be is linked with a simple fact: our traditional rivals are underperforming. City and United are 4th and 5th respectively, while Chelsea sit in 10th place. In a campaign where all the big boys are struck with such a malaise, […]
