Dear Fellow Gunners So How Is It For You? Is your Glass Half Full or Half Empty Are we making progress or are we Same Old Same Old? Are we going forward or just treading water? Into the final quarter of the season and we are in contention for a Top Four Place […]
‘Balance, Belief, Better…… Buzzing!’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Balance Squad balance and in-game balance doesn’t come quickly and we are impatient. Have you noticed that it may well have arrived? Amongst the litany of change on and off the field it has been lost that Arsenal have a very balanced squad, age wise. I looked […]
This fixture inevitably brings up comparisons of yesteryear, when Wenger was in his peak, and Sir Alex Ferguson was in his pomp. This was arguably the greatest title rivalry in Premier League history – bigger than United/Blackburn, United/Newcastle, or United/Chelsea, or United/City. Both us and United have similar values, attitudes, and history of success (albeit […]
Them 1-1 Us North London Derby review So, we haven’t lost to them in the league this season. But I have some mixed feelings on this game. Yes, we didn’t lose. But let’s be real – we should have won this game. Tottenham, with their lauded and trophyless manager, wasn’t up to it. Alli […]
Arsenal 2-0 Southampton – Premier League Review Saints decanonised and beaten at the Emirates….. This was a return to a fluent Arsenal, in large part. After the comfortable win and clean sheet in the Europa League, Southampton offered some fight, but not enough to seriously trouble us. The starting line-up featured […]
The Herbert Chapman derby, as it were, ended in an Arsenal win. The game perhaps wasn’t the best, but I’m sure Mr Chapman is looking down and happy to see both of his prodigy performing in the top division. His Yorkshire former club is certainly going down this season – though on this showing they […]
Arsenal 3-1 Burnley review This early kick-off was a chance to get a win after the Scum and Southampton defeats. And we got this, though it wasn’t all plain sailing. Burnley started in the relegation zone, and for this reason alone it was never going to be easy. Sokratis returned, and Elneny started as […]
ARSENAL 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN EMIRATES STADIUM 8TH DECEMBER 2018 – PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW “He comes from Uruguay…he’s only five foot high!” This game in truth wasn’t the best. As per my preview, I knew Huddersfield would come to rough us up, or at the least try and curtail us. We need to give […]
Arsenal vs. Huddersfield Town – Premier League preview We have another instalment of the Herbert Chapman “Derby” – since the great manager had successful spells at both clubs. He won the league three times in a row at Huddersfield and then commenced our great era in the 1930s. Moreover, this fixture has irony […]
AFC BOURNEMOUTH VS. ARSENAL PREVIEW We’re heading to the South Coast, and take on Bournemouth. who under Eddie Howe have performed very well this season. They currently are in sixth place – one behind us incidentally – and have continued much of what Howe has been noted for. Quick passing, good technical skills, and […]
