Arsenal, how the mighty have fallen. And how we’re allowing the sore to grow. The latest defeat to Bournemouth highlights how far we’ve fallen. But why do we allow the sore to fester? We’re sick. But then we’re not resolving the sickness. I feel like we’re viewing a bad cut, and not making any effort […]
Bournemouth 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Matchday 22 Vitality Stadium – January 14th, 2018 Bournemouth grabs first ever win over Arsenal More bad news? Seems like it. It doesn’t rain, but it pours, seemingly….. The starting line-up didn’t include Sanchez, amidst the speculation of him joining United (over City no less). Iwobi, despite his recent […]
The Gunners managed to eke out their third away win of the season yesterday, ending Palace’s unbeaten run streak in the process. I never expected the game to be easy, we have been culpable of complicating our lives unnecessarily away from home, so I’m grateful for the win. However I cannot quite grasp the words […]
So, the year is almost ending. But then how has it been for us? This is my view: The Good I cannot ignore the FA Cup win. A certain club got second place for the first time in decades, but that’s not a trophy, is it? We were underdogs vs. Chelsea, but then we bossed […]
Thanks to our friends over at EA Sports for this mid-season update. Some interesting stats in here – noticeably the absence of any Arsenal player in the Goalscorers Top 6. It’s hard to win anything without scoring, and Arsenal has had one of its lowest scoring seasons in ages. We have hit the woodwork a […]
Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool Matchday 19 • Emirates Well…wow. What the hell was that? In my preview, I mentioned Liverpool and Arsenal are similar, but this is taking the mickey.This game was a tale of two good attacks, and two poor defences. Liverpool dominated the first half. Firmino looked primed, as Cech saved well at the […]
Some time into the second half I had not so much a distinct feeling of deja vu, but rather an impression of an unending nightmare. You know how sometimes you have a very vivid and highly unpleasant dream, wake up in the middle of the night, go back to sleep, and are treated to the […]
In a few short hours we take on West Ham and it’s fair to say this game doesn’t look nearly as straightforward as it did two weeks ago. Back then we have battered Huddersfield at home while West Ham was at the wrong end of a pasting at Goodison Park. This in itself tells you […]
Southampton 1-1 Arsenal Barclays Premier League Matchday 16 St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton That was poor. Like last week vs. United. Like the Stoke away game earlier this season. Like numerous games last season. Or the season before that. Or several seasons before that. Yes, we did well to get a point in the end. But […]
Before the game I genuinely thought we would see the Gunners respond to last week’s injustice at the Emirates. The rested during midweek squad started fully, with just one, rather predictable, exception: Mertesacker for Mustafi. It’s a change a championed myself to a degree in my preview, though it still came second after switching to […]
