With the incorporation of Alexis, Lucas, Giroud, Ozil, Iwobi, Xhaka and Ramsey all in the same attack at various points of a game I think we can agree that this is our best attack for quite a few years. The effectiveness is there, because coming back from deficits requires mental will no doubt but also […]
One thing that I have noticed over the last few matches, particularly so in the Premier League match away to A.F.C. Bournemouth and the away F.A. Cup tie with Preston North End is that Arsenal seem to struggle with starting quickly in matches. All too often, we see a lot of sluggishness in the opening […]
Is Number ‘10’ football Limiting Arsenal Been away from blogging for a while – wrapped up in Twitter and Podcasting for @Goonerramble which is and has been very enjoyable. But it’s also reminded me that 140 characters can be misunderstood and doesn’t allow for clarity and explanation and some time to think. So […]
Well, this last week has been so much better than the previous, hasn’t it? Two wins, two clean sheets and some very commanding and entertaining football played in the process. Oh, and we’ve moved into third, leapfrogging Manchester City. I was a bit surprised by team selection, however it proved highly efficient as the game […]
Howdy. It’s a face-off with Crystal Palace for Arsenal on New Year’s day and a chance for the Gunners to close in on City and Liverpool, seeing as they play one another. What’s more, Tottenham host Chelsea on January 4th, providing us with a further opportunity to make up the lost ground. Fat Sam will […]
I have seen much talk about Arsenal and in reality Wenger’s ability to alter his approach to secure results, ideally wins, against what can described as ‘the other big clubs’. I hesitate to say title rivals because I am far from certain at present that we are that. As so often is the case our […]

Ramsey. We want you to succeed, do it for us…. Aaron Ramsey is an enigma. He has proven quality. Look at the 13/14 season, winning the FA cup, and performing well in Euro 2016. But has he done it enough? And is criticism of him valid, or warranted? Since then, he has not performed as […]
Today I feel a strong urge to just copy and paste chunks of text from my United review. Insipid performance? Check. Unbalanced midfield? Check. One shot on target? Check. Giroud on the scoresheet? Check. I don’t see in what way our performance vs PSG was any better than our performance vs United. In fact, I […]
Howdy. We take on PSG today in what will be a battle for the top spot in Group A. The winner gets Bayern/Atletico in the last 16 … Kidding, kidding. It’s actually Borussia/Real. However, on the off chance we get lucky + there’s no tampering with the draw this season, it is worth beating […]
