The trip to the south coast in on the cards for the Gunners and it presents Arsene Wenger’s men with a chance to finally win a league game and somewhat improve their away record in the process. Last year’s game was absolute bonkers. Eddie Howe’s men expertly capitalized on our slow start and susceptibility to […]
We take on Chelsea for the the second time inside 6 days and my fear Wenger is going to field a squad not dissimilar to the one which crashed out of the cup three days ago. Mercifully, there’s the small matter of these guys having to play a second game in just a matter of […]
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 […]
Antonio Conte’s men visit the Emirates today, and somehow I feel even less optimistic about our chances to come out on top than before the Liverpool game. In part this feeling is down to the turgid performance we produced at the Hawthorns, in part because our growing injury list restricts Wenger’s options. Also, there’s that […]
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 […]
We visit Selhurst Park today, in an attempt to right the wrongs of the last meeting between the two sides. There’s also the small matter of Arsenal winning just one of their last five league games: a slender 1-0 victory over Newcastle. Crystal Palace, followed by West Brom, will cap off this calendar year and […]
Despite the general gloomy mood with regards to yesterday’s game and result, I can’t shake off an overall positive feeling. This is in sharp contrast with my Twitter timeline, Arsenal blogosphere and the opinions of fans inside the stadium. I can’t quite put my finger on why I’m inclined to feel slightly optimistic. Is it […]
We take on Liverpool today and I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic going into this one. I have watched Klopp’s side dismantle Bournemouth away, with a 4-0 spanking. This was Liverpool’s fourth successive away win by 3 or more goals (4-1 vs West Ham, 3-0 vs Stoke, 5-1 vs Brighton and now 4-0 vs Bournemouth), […]
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 […]
We face Newcastle at the Emirates today, and this gives us another chance at redemption. A third one after losing to United. While I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic given the way we’ve played recently, two things make me somewhat calmer we won’t shoot ourselves in the foot once again: it’s a home fixture and […]
