Many words have been spent about the impressive depth of our team this season, so I guess that Arsène Wenger’s forgotten men won’t have a better chance to show their worth than Saturday’s match at Old Trafford. According to the latest team news, against Manchester United we’re very likely to miss all our major attacking […]
It’s difficult to put into a short amount of words just how much of an impact Arsène Wenger has had not only on Arsenal Football Club, but also on the overall modern game of football. Across his twenty year tenure as manager of Arsenal, Arsène Wenger has completely revolutionised the club’s philosophies, reinvented the way […]
The words “at least we didn’t lose” have been used far too regularly by some Arsenal supporters, following last Sunday’s draw with Spurs. Should we not all be disappointed that we failed to win the game rather than be relieved that we didn’t lose it? Prior to kick off, we had won ten of our […]
Arsenal fans wait nervously to see if Alexis Sanchez is risked by Chile this week in his country’s crucial World Cup Qualifier against Uruguay. The striker has been in superb form for the Gunners in his new central role and his goals and all round contribution have helped his club stay undefeated since the season’s […]
Hello there, what a week it has been so far. India outlawed higher denomination notes in a bid to end black money on 8th November and America elected Donald Trump as leader of the free world on 9th, in a bid to end the world as we know it. All week we’ve been hearing about […]
I was involved in a rather depressing and thought provoking conversation on Monday on the Footballtasitically Arsenal podcast. The cause of the depression or enlightenment perhaps was Alan Alger from Betway. Armed with indisputable statistics Alan suggested in strong terms using various metrics that the only thing Wenger’s Arsenal improved upon in their Premier League […]
Well the win over Sunderland was predictable, well, if it wasn’t Arsenal, enjoyable, if it wasn’t Arsenal and thought provoking as Arsenal performances always are. Even the apparently most routine victory, after a first half of taking a deserved lead, following after and preceding total dominance, gave the Arsenal supporters the obligatory period of concern […]
Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer. Things had started well, with Granit Xhaka’s acquisition from Borussia Monchengladbach in May an encouraging start, but the weeks of inactivity that followed seemed to indicate at best a gross incompetence with regards to transfer dealings, and at worst a […]
When Duncan Watmore went down inside our box I sank in my chair. It looked all set up to become one of those days. Good pressure and slick passing, a goal to show for our trouble, loads of chances created, then one mistake puts paid to everything good. Usually it’s also the first shot on […]
In the past I have been accused of being negative or having some form of personal agenda against Arsene Wenger. Accusations, that unsurprisingly, originate from supporters who wear rose-tinted spectacles where our manager is concerned. These are accusations that I strongly refute and would argue that perhaps it is those who choose to focus on […]
