Well this is awkward. We all know how people tend to overlook the performance in the context of the result. Of course, it’s fair to say this is mostly wrong: down the years Arsenal fans have seen good performances aplenty only to see the Gunners consequently lose the match. Many started supporting Arsenal for the […]

So… What really happened against Swansea?!
I was fortunate to not have seen this match live. I have, however, heard and read all about it. Statistically, this is Arsenal’s worst result vs. Swansea – further reading shows that we had not lost to Swansea at home since before 1981, back in the Highbury days. So, what happened? It was a […]
Arsenal fans like Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson have to investigate the ‘Mysterious Case of the Swansea defeat!’
We’re not allowed to lose one single game, are we? In the exact moment Kevin Friend blew his whistle to sanction a very surprising and unwelcome home defeat against Swansea, the Arsenal world started to crumble. I’m not saying our defeat didn’t really bother me, I reassure you: I am such a sore loser and […]
Arsenal 0 Swansea 1 – Sadly ‘Good Old Arsenal!!!’
“As Valencia’s deflected shot found the bottom corner I stared at the screen in disbelief. The sense of unreality swept over me. For a good while longer than a few seconds I’ve been (fruitlessly) trying to persuade myself that this wasn’t happening. This could not be happening. Simply because everything about this goal was so […]
When you consider who could replace Wenger you may decide Arsene is still the best man for the job
Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]
Bellerin for the Win-g? – Can Hector be our future Right Wing Solution?
Though there seem to be other pressing concerns at the moment like Who should play in midfield? Who do we need to sign in the summer? We need to beat Swansea on Monday. And of course the endless goalkeeper debate for the cup final. Thought I’d take a break from those and address a suggestion […]
Ramsey is the Hero of the week as Borinhogate drags on and the Gunners mark a special 20th Anniversary in North London

The new Resilient Arsenal have progressed in 14/15 – Wenger has retained flair but learned to win ugly and not lose!
This season so far has seemed like a big step forward for this Arsenal squad, despite only being three points better off than at this stage last season. Of course there has still been some worrying results; the Monaco, Tottenham and Southampton performances spring to mind as well as the home defeat to Manchester United […]
Thierry, do the Arsenal really need an entirely new spine?
Do you remember my blog from last week? I said Thierry Henry was right in his criticism of Olivier Giroud, I said I agreed with him about us not being able to win the title with (only) Olivier Giroud upfront. I didn’t change my mind since, however I’d like to point out that anything else […]
