It’s been an up and down season which includes some great performances and some terrible ones. Below, me and the GT team look back on Unai Emery’s first campaign in charge of the Arsenal. Gary Lawrence (@garythegooner56) Player of the Season: Lacazette Worst Player of the Season: Mustafi Most Improved: Maitland: Niles Most Underwhelming: […]
Arsenal vs. Chelsea – Europa League Final Preview So the final is upon us. We’re in Azerbaijan, and the talk of Mkhitaryan not going, fans’ travel costs, and why Azerbaijan was even chosen, now comes all to a head. THE Arsenal is facing off with Chelsea, for the Europa League. Our first European final […]
#AskingForAFriend Has Mkhitaryan forgotten how to play football? #AskingForAFriend Who scouted Mustafi and said “yes, £35m” #AskingForAFriend How much does Aubameyang spend a season on haircuts? #AskingForAFriend Should the team take travel sickness pills before getting on the bus? #AskingForAFriend What is Steve Bould’s role at the club? #AskingForAFriend We have two of the best […]
What a weekend for sitting out in the sun and enjoying an early summer. Blue skies all around and I should be happy. Unfortunately, a cloud hanging over AFC is spoiling my mini holiday. I have read Mike McDonald`s excellent article and he very succinctly describes his dissatisfaction with Mustafa. I don`t think I could describe […]
Napoli 0-1 Arsenal – Europa League QF Second Leg (0-3 agg.) It took a beauty from Lacazette to secure an excellent win in the San Paolo stadium. Napoli was anticipated to be strong, forward, and pressing, as they needed to be. But they weren’t. If anything, I was surprised at how limp […]
I agree with Dave`s analysis of the Watford match. In contrast, against Everton, I regretfully strongly disagreed with Marble Halls preview and particularly his selection for the game as he suggested Guendouzi and Elneny should play. I suppose that is why Football is such a fertile ground for diverse opinions. Surely the performance and the […]
Another away match and another performance that failed to inspire confidence but a valuable three points in the bag. As a fan you would like to simply sit back and enjoy the ride with a new chauffeur but at times Emery’s Arsenal conspire to make that difficult. Indeed, it sometimes seems that Emery’s executive limousine […]
We got stuck in Everton toffee today. And this isn’t the best for our top four hopes – however, I believe we can still get top four. However, this game wasn’t really the best, and Everton outmuscled, outfought, and bullied us. Without disrespecting our previous manager, this was a performance reminiscent of the latter […]
I am delighted to read the football pages this morning and to see that we are now third in the Premiership table and once more in St. Tottering ham territory. Who would have thought that not so long ago we were 10 points behind the old lady down the road? I see that she has […]
The business end of the season starts here. After an exciting international break, if you are an England fan, the Premier League returns and there is so much to play for still for so many teams. I think there are only two or three teams with nothing to play for really. You could argue that […]
