Howdy. We face West Ham at Upton Park today in what will provide us with a chance to make up ground on the three frontrunners. Liverpool don’t play until Sunday, while City and Chelsea play one another, which means at least one team will drop points. Alas, they can’t both drop points… The last meetings […]
I have been reading a few scribes player ratings for last night’s match and there is a great deal of similarity in the best and worst of what was generally regarded as another poor show when we failed to turn up. The most common reason for it is the “November Curse”. What annoys me about […]
Arsene Wenger says he loves a bargain in the transfer market, and the facts certainly show this to be true. The Frenchman has a knack for spotting talent, and he has revolutionised the way even rival clubs find players. Under Wenger’s reign, Arsenal has managed to consecutively qualify for the champion’s league every season, despite […]
Howdy. We host Bournemouth in a fixture which signals a schedule ease-up. I am less than pleased about drawing three consecutive games, while also playing as poorly as we did, but it can’t be denied we faced tough opponents. Bournemouth is a step down from the quality of the sides we drew against. That’s not […]
Ramsey. We want you to succeed, do it for us…. Aaron Ramsey is an enigma. He has proven quality. Look at the 13/14 season, winning the FA cup, and performing well in Euro 2016. But has he done it enough? And is criticism of him valid, or warranted? Since then, he has not performed as […]
It has been the longest month of the year, and as a Gunner, it has also felt like Groundhog Day, every single day the team has stepped on to the field in this gay ole month of November. Ha! Coming into this month we have been inundated with news stories about how this month has […]
Confidence is the key for still young Iwobi You will have seen the clip doing the rounds during the international break of Alex Iwobi channeling his inner Jay Jay Okocha whilst wearing Nigerian green. As a loose ball drifts towards him, Iwobi runs and in one move lifts the ball over his opponent’s head using […]
Today I feel a strong urge to just copy and paste chunks of text from my United review. Insipid performance? Check. Unbalanced midfield? Check. One shot on target? Check. Giroud on the scoresheet? Check. I don’t see in what way our performance vs PSG was any better than our performance vs United. In fact, I […]
There is a nice story about Colin Bell – one of the very best Box-to-Box players in the late 1960s/early 1970s. He was physical stamina personified. Endless energy – a player who played extra time in every First Division match. He was trained by Malcolm Allison at Manchester City who watched every step of […]
Howdy. We take on PSG today in what will be a battle for the top spot in Group A. The winner gets Bayern/Atletico in the last 16 … Kidding, kidding. It’s actually Borussia/Real. However, on the off chance we get lucky + there’s no tampering with the draw this season, it is worth beating […]
