Although the embarrassing surrender against Sheffield Wednesday signalled the end of our participation in this season’s Capital One Cup and amounted to our heaviest defeat against lower league opposition in fifty six years, bizarrely, numerous Arsenal supporters somehow found positives amongst the debris of our exit, however, as you may have already realised, I wasn’t […]
Another league game looms large and another tough opponent awaits us. I gotta say Arsenal’s fixture list hardly does us any favours: between two international breaks we face(d) Watford, Bayern Munich (twice), Everton, Swansea, Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday. All of this inside three weeks, meaning we are forced to play every three days, but the […]
WHAT A NIGHT OF FOOTBALL! The amazing and surprising (let me say that…) win against Bayern Munich has left a wonderful feeling, even hours and days after the final whistle. We have shown solidarity, maturity, composure and desire to see off one of the best teams in Europe and surely one of the favourites to […]
Oh he already has! It has been a very strange opening 3 months of the campaign with some amazing results and some dreadful ones. We have been stunned into disbelief both negatively and positively by our team’s performances, most strikingly in the space of five days with our last two outings. Is the team […]
Morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s United we have to deal with today and once again I find myself searching for imperative adjectives which will demonstrate how we need a win. However, this time we need a win mostly for psychological reasons. Sure, City thrashed Newcastle yesterday (with a little help from Sergio Aguero), but dropping […]
“You become a complete player at 23. From 23 to 30 is certainly where you are at your best. He has the future in front and it’s a bright one.”-Arsene Wenger on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. After his match-winning performance in the Community Shield win over Chelsea in August, many tipped young Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to push on […]
With our beloved Gunners in pretty mixed form thus far this season I’ve refrained from writing. There being so many problems and seemingly no solutions to get the boys to click and every Tom Dick and Harry’s angle and thoughts are there to read. There is the midfield balance, the lack of a top striker […]
Ready for a rumble, Gunners? Yesterday’s game proved that the Champions League could be even more surprising than the Premier League – with Manchester City losing at home to Juventus and Manchester United defeated by PSV. Tonight’s game against Dinamo Zagreb will tell a lot about our guys and their mental strength, because we have […]
It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]
On the eve of post deadline day hysteria I started on a piece about our striking options without bringing anyone in. The gist of it being is that, for the team to progress, Welbeck would be our best option at ‘nine’ given his physical attributes and, compared to Ollie and Theo, he has a greater […]
