Dear angry, depressed, resigned Gooners, I’m back with my weekly column. Inspired by Dave the Master and his brilliant piece on why Arsène Wenger should rotate his left-backs, I also try to find some positives in these gloomy days. The defeat suffered against Chelsea has reminded us that we still have a lot to go […]
Well, it looks like the last throw of the dice, doesn’t it? Drinking in the last chance saloon for Arsenal. To say I’m hugely disappointed in where this season seems to be heading would be stating the bleeding obvious. I’m also angry. At myself, first of all. Yet another season I’ve allowed myself to buy […]
The Watford defeat hurts big time. It doesn’t go away. Three days on and the frustration at missing the opportunity remains and the questions remain unanswered. Why were we not “mentally prepared” as Wenger admitted? How could Watford, with such a poor run coming into the game, be sharper, quicker and more committed? Was the […]
I agree with Andrea Rosati from his piece on Wednesday that we are now in a position where Wenger has to make 100% correct tactical decisions beginning with Chelsea. Conte has Chelsea playing to a system, which the team understands, and he has fitted all his square pegs into square holes. The key to his […]
Tonight’s visit of Watford is intriguing for many reasons but none of them really involve the Hornets. This is a team that could not even muster a performance to send of the late Graham Taylor at home so are not likely to threaten and in form Gunners at the Emirates. No this evening is all […]
What follows below is a considered response (a comment on the site) from American Gooner @scrivs to Clive Palmer’s considered article on his journey with Aaron Ramsey, published here on Friday. Clive and Scrivs interact regularly on Twitter and the response was so good that we asked if we could use his comment as an […]
Aaron Ramsey – World Class or Bang Average? Aaron Ramsey – The most interesting player to review at Arsenal for me. I know it’s dangerous to go online and give your analysis of a player so what I am going to try to articulate is my journey with Aaron Ramsey. How my feelings have changed, […]
Howdy. It’s Burnley today and a win will lift the Gunners to second in the table. Yesterday all of Liverpool, Spurs, City and United dropped points, clearing the path for us to overtake the former two and increase the gap on the latter pair. On paper screen, Burnley at home looks as winnable a fixture […]
It feels like quite a bit since we’ve won a game of football comprehensively. So it was really nice to not fret about the result for most of the second half and just lazily follow the action. I was worried going into the game. On top of Swansea being a tricky opponent for the Gunners […]
Athleticism -And The Need for Speed I always say when you watch football we all watch from our own personal structures or values. What do you mean Clive?….. I hear you cry… In my opinion we are all formed in a football way by our own individual exposure to the game, our memories of our […]
