Xhaka………right player, wrong place? The title is confusing, but I’m not saying we should sell him. I don’t think he has been stellar since he joined us. However, he is a good player, and it’s possible that his billing has been off. He’s not the Swiss Vieira, nor the Arsenal Dembele/Wanyama/Kante. He’s his own player, […]
Arsenal 2-1 Swansea City Review – Premier League We won, and I’m glad. But then in a way it was same old Arsenal. We deserved to win, but then we made hard work of it. And our individual errors cost us in parts. Our issues are, as always, mental and attitudinal. Seems the board were […]
For the second time inside a week Arsenal have done something I thought they were not capable of since the meek surrender to Watford: they showed some guts. Both against Everton and Swansea the Gunners went behind; both goals were conceded against the run of play; both were the first moments of danger created near […]
Arsenal vs. Swansea City Premier League preview Ozil resurged, and Eddie Nketiah became our new hero this week. Though we are at home to Swansea, and it seems vis a vis the Norwich game, we will see the big guns return. However, how will we fare here? I predict this team will start: […]
Everton 2-5 Arsenal Premier League Review Well…where the hell was that performance in recent months (nay years)? We bossed them from start to finish, despite Rooney scoring a great goal for them at the start. Rooney’s goal was against the run of play, but we did show the “cajones” today. We showed overall the technicality, […]
Everton vs. Arsenal Premier League preview This is a special fixture in some ways. Bergkamp’s first assist for us was here, all the way back in 1995, for a certain Mr. Wright (Wright, Wright). Vermaelan of all players got a debut brace, and the “certain world-beater” Cadamateri secured a winning brace here many years ago. […]
The morning after a hard fought away win in Europe, courtesy of a wondrous goal, we should be waking up to different back pages than the one informing us that Mesut Ozil has told his his pals he is off to Man United. However I find myself neither upset or angry, more resigned and indifferent. […]
There is much to be positive about as an Arsenal fan. After a tricky start to the campaign the team are winning consistently, if not flamboyantly and certain individuals have been key to that. However the two players who have not been integral to the turnaround are still the two players being most discussed in […]
Will the real Aaron Ramsey show himself? Ireland’s victory in Cardiff means that Aaron Ramsey will not have the opportunity to showcase his talents to the watching world in Russia in 2018 as he did so wonderfully in France in Euro 2016. Though watching the Arsenal FA Cup hero huff and puff against a well […]
England missing Wilshere’s vision Looking ahead to a relaxing Sunday and it would be lovely to say in keen anticipation of watching England finish of their World Cup qualification in style. Sadly despite the pressure being off the Three Lions squad I am not hopeful of seeing an exhilarating creative display from Southgate’s team. Not […]
