Silly season is here….run, Gooners! At a time when online media throw names around to win the click-bait war, in a quite ridiculous crescendo that saw the Arsenal linked to Alexandr Kororin, Troy Deeney, Javier Hernandez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in deals going from £3m up to £60m, I would like to concentrate on some transfers […]
At this time of year you naturally tend to reflect on the year just gone and what lies ahead. So let me indulge myself. A serious read so you need to be sitting down! Given the recent cult of the ‘superstar’ manager and how many of us have become swayed by their influence and supposed […]
When I saw Fonte power his header past Cech in the 66th minute, I turned the game off. It’s what I always do when the Gunners go 3 down. I haven’t watched us lose to United 8-2. I haven’t witnessed our 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Chelsea, or the 5-1 at Anfield. Even this […]
I have just watched Arsenal disintegrate against Southampton in a way which takes me back to the worst of our defensive performances i.e. Liverpool, Man U, Man City and Chelsea. Throw in Monaco and Dynamo Zagreb just for fun. Ironically, as I sat at my PC I noticed Timothy Hargreaves article about defensive discipline. I […]
No rest for the wicked as the Gunners (along with the other 19 teams, truth be told) prepare for their Boxing Day game against Southampton. And despite Southampton’s atrocious recent form (1 point in 6 games, with only 2 goals scored during that run), I feel uneasy about this match. Maybe because I can’t recall […]
Christmas comes but once a year! Christmas comes but once a year, Bringing Gooners everywhere plenty of cheer. But don’t forget the very best part, Chelsea imploding causing Maureen to depart. And United can score at home or away!!?? With Van Gaal facing the sack, well any day City are wasting the money from the […]
Showdown time has arrived. We take on Manchester City this evening and this game represents a clash between two heavyweights, two potential champions. Should we write down Leicester as a team which won’t fight for the title? Common sense and basic logic say we should. Even the manner in which Leicester play is very dangerous […]
It is Monday night football for Arsenal so we’ve got the whole weekend to ponder over our clash against fellow title rivals Manchester City. And that means I can take some time out to really enjoy Jose Mourinho and Chelsea’s troubles. And he’s been sacked!! I know their loss this Monday meant we aren’t top […]
Wednesdays are never a great day of the week anyway, it’s too far away from Friday and it’s just downright depressing. Well for Arsenal fans, some news made this week’s Wednesday just that little bit worse with many a source confirming that Manchester City danger man Sergio Aguero is set to be fit for the […]
Quite unexpectedly (for me, first of all) I made it in time for the game. That’s due to my missing out on Cumberbetch’s “Hamlet”. For those of you interested, someone here came up with a brilliant idea to broadcast the play on a big screen, in cinemas. And sell tickets, naturally. So my friend proposed […]
