Well, for a surprise, this is a surprise. The Arsenal Football Club just announced the arrival of former Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight coach Arsène Wenger at the helm of the Club, to replace the departing Bruce Rioch. Despite penning a three-years deal fourteen months ago only and qualifying for next year’s UEFA Cup by […]
3 wins in a row. Three actual football matches Arsenal have won, putting 9 very real points in the bank. I think I can get used to it. With time. Jokes aside, though, we’ve shown some very good football yesterday. Both 11v11 and then of course 11v10. We’ve screwed up moments either side of […]
Hi everyone. We take on Hull today and another win would be extremely welcome, given we host Chelsea next weekend. Mike Phelan’s men have started pretty well and sit on 7 points after 4 games – exactly the same amount we’ve garnered. Let’s shoot to the team news, I guess. Team news update We’ll […]
So, we are under way in group A and, while it can hardly be called a flying start, at least we have a point to show for it. A lot of things I want to discuss with you, so I’ll get straight to them. The result If you offered me a draw before the game, […]
It’s hard to argue that earning a point in the Parc des Princes in the opening game of a new Champions League campaign isn’t a good result. On paper Paris Saint-Germain are comfortably the toughest opponents Arsenal will face in Group A this season and a draw away to them is not one that should […]
So the new season is back and after finishing second in the Premier League last season, we are now back in the Champions League for the 19th season in a row with a tough first group game against Paris Saint German in France, a match which may be our toughest group game. After being drawn […]
Recently a habit I had for some time, bubbling under the surface, started to get the better of me: a habit of turning my back on the TV when there’s a dangerous situation near our or our opponents’ goal. Not when such a situation arises from open play, I mostly have free-kicks and penalties in […]
Hello everyone. Club football is back again and thank Christ for that. It feels like every Interlull is worse than the previous. I’m sure that’s my memory playing tricks on me, there’s no obvious reason why the breaks could be getting increasingly frustrating, but there you go. Anyway, we have a delicious Saturday of footy […]
A common theme seems to be occurring with myself and Arsenal signings, which is I know very little about them. So as with Xhaka and Elneny I’ve looked at the stats behind the man to try and infer what kind of player were getting, unfortunately stats have zero bearing on centre backs so Mustafi and […]
DB’s Season Dairy is back Well, that’s another transfer window done and dusted then. It was a bit of a weird one really seeing as for most of it, it seemed we were in for the meltdown of all meltdowns, then we signed a couple of players before the Sky Sports sponsored Transfer Deadline Day […]
