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 […]
Arsenal vs. AFC Bournemouth preview Premier League – 9th Sept 2017 Emirates Stadium Many of our players did reasonably well in the Inter-lull. Let’s see if they can do similarly vs. Bournemouth. Bournemouth may be by the sea, but they are no salts (sorry…) Their manager is highly rated, and who knows, may […]
Brilliantly inspired by Dave’s blog about Jack Wilshere (by the way: it’s not Wiltshere, it’s not Wilshire, it’s Wilshere. The number of times his name is misspelled is appalling), I started thinking about how our former academy gem could actually re-build his career at the Arsenal. Our man has quite some way to go after […]
My 7-month stint writing for weekly for Football London is over and my house move is behind me so you will hearing more from me back here on GT. There are a few subjects on my mind, most of which have been discussed ad infinitum so the end of the summer transfer window closed to […]
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 […]
17/18 season expectations The season has started. And thus far, it’s reasonably good. A pulsating 4-3 win vs. Leicester City was added to a “friendly trophy” win vs. Chelsea at Wembley. Last season was poor, bar the FA Cup of course, though the past is the past, and we should look to the future. So […]
So, a new football season, and all the joy it brings, is upon us once more, and I’ve decided to have a go at bringing back the season diary. I’ve not written in quite a while now for one reason or another, so if this is shit you can blame it on that. I was […]
94 Seconds is what it took for the Arsenal to open their account for the new campaign, and it had to be our club record signing, Lacazette. It was well past midnight in my part of the world when he guided that ball in, and I had absolutely no thought or respect for the fact […]
So, Thomas Lemar could be on his way to the Arsenal this summer- after a season in which he flourished for Monaco, scoring 9 times and grabbing 10 assists (league stats). He is commanding £50m plus potential add on’s fee, is he worth it? … Absolutely. At 21, Thomas Lemar took Ligue 1 by storm; […]
Australia here we come! A group of 25 players has been selected to take part to the usual increase-your-commercial-revenues summer tour – to Australia, this year. We started with three consecutive Far East tours from 2011 onwards, which saw the Arsenal playing games in Malaysia, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam (remember the Running […]
