The results from the past month put paid to Arsenal’s chances of winning any silverware in the cup competitions. The Gunners were knocked out of both the Champions League and the F.A Cup in consecutive games. The Premier League title seems like a distant faint beacon towards which the Arsenal ship is wobbling. Despite all the […]
Last year @7amkickoff wrote a piece about how Arsenal are the team to tug at most heartstrings because of the fact that we are one of the last clubs on the planet left with a semblance of honour in our dealings with people. The piece specifically talked about how Arsene Wenger put faith in first […]
We are still without our superb Match reviewer who returns next week for West Ham so I thought I would step in again with some player ratings instead. It was a hugely enjoyable performance from Arsenal yesterday and the only disappointments came off the pitch and not on it. The 7th minute response to Rocky […]
A solitary point is rarely viewed as a cause for celebration but given the circumstances that unfolded at White Hart Lane on Saturday, I’ll make an exception. Having seen Francis Coquelin get himself needlessly dismissed and our one goal advantage turned into a one goal deficit within the space of just seven minutes, it is […]
ARSENAL CIRCULAR 136 GRAHAM PERRY 1 MARCH 2016 The knives are out – not just for Wenger but also for me. Wenger’s critics – haters is a more appropriate word for some – are in full flow and those of us who have been prepared to put their heads above the parapet and support Wenger […]
The game against Manchester United is looming large and it is the 3rd match in a busy schedule. It started vs Hull in the cup, continued against Barca, now we have United and then, with a 3-5 days interval, Swansea, Tottenham, Hull again, Watford/West Bromwich (depending on whether we beat Hull in the replay), Barcelona […]
Well, that didn’t quite go according to plan, did it? However it also could have been worse: when Aluko took aim from what would be Hull’s only shot on target, I was prepared for the worst. It was a genuine heart-in-the-mouth moment, which would have felt like a cold shower had Aluko been a half-decent […]
Last week I talked about how our targets for next season would pan out if we were to lose the title this season, and as promised in that piece I am back with another question that is soon going to become pretty big in the ultra-divisive Arsenal fan circuit: Do Arsenal need Arsene Wenger to […]
The greatest threat to Arsenal’s title chances, is Arsenal. We seamlessly transition from the stratospheric heights of sublime perfection to the abysmal depths of hopeless ineptitude. When Arsenal fans are knocking on heaven’s doors, they are advised to declare that they support Arsenal. The range of emotions that one experiences as an Arsenal supporter is quite […]
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies I’m not normally one for writing previews, but this week I thought I’d give it ago. Sunday Morning (AEDT) Burnley roll into town and The Arsenal continue their second defence of the Emirates (FA) Cup. (That would be a lovely Saturday 3pm for you guys back home) In true Wenger cup […]
