There has been much praise for Mesut Ozil this season and rightly so. After a sluggish return from injury in the spring he has been sensational with the turning point perhaps being a stand out display in Arsenal’s epic FA Cup victory at Old Trafford. In this campaign the German international has certainly stepped into […]
There are only so many games where you can spot the spectacular and Bayern was one of those games where the spectacular was coming from the opposition, which is why there was no post from me on that game. The Spurs game seemed to be going the same way and after the first half I […]
Dear…… What was obvious from yesterday’s game is that a lot of our players are running on empty. Two of our best players (Santi and Sanchez) were woeful and Santi was taken off. If we had had a replacement, so should Sanchez have been. This is a threadbare team. We cannot continue to compete with […]
The memorable win in the reverse fixture is still in our minds, isn’t it? A true masterpiece by the players and the manager allowed us to stop the unstoppable Bayern Munich and earned us a lifeline in this utterly complicated Champions League journey; the only problem is that we would need to produce another […]
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 […]
In the aftermath of a dream shattering series of four goals scored, FOUR conceded in a combined square up against Liverpool (1-1) and Tottenham (3-3) within FOUR days in April 2011, Arsenal were once again greeted with a campaign that flirted with title success, following FOUR months of sublime attacking football, literally between December 2010 […]
Well, that was fun. Another good performance and another win by three goals. I think I can get used to this. Before the game, a lot was made of how tough a team Watford is on their home soil and you could see why: the Hornets started the game at a really good pace, were […]
Hello and welcome to Watford vs Arsenal LIVE… brought to you by Arsenal’s official car and van rental partner Europcar. It’s been a fantastic international break for the Gunners, with the squad that demolished Manchester United 3-0 a couple weeks ago, stealing the plaudits across Europe with some refined displays for their respective countries. But […]
Watford They haven’t had too many regular starters on international duty so they’ll be fresh for the challenges that we’ll present them with. Luckily for us, Mertesacker has retired from international football, while Gabriel, Monreal, Koscielny and (inexplicably) Coquelin were all left at home by Brazil, Spain and France respectively. That means that defensively at […]
Howdy. It’s been quite some time since I last wrote, but a combination of an extremely tedious Interlull and my rather stressful two weeks at uni contributed to my total lack of inspiration. Glad to see the back of this fortnight. In what will be Arsenal’s first game in 13 days we face Watford away […]
