Today’s visit to Old Trafford will be a stern test of Arsenal’s growing credentials as, at the very least, strong Top 4 challengers. After 5 straight wins it would be fair to say that the media and pundits are being kinder to Arteta’s Arsenal, but with the constant caveat of ‘you have not played anyone […]
Energy, everywhere Positives, Needs And Hopes I’m writing and rewatching at the same time. It’s the 16th minute. We’ve just had yet another chance in Villa’s box. The ball ends up outside the box with Saka and he gets pushed down. Within two seconds Xhaka, Odegaard and Saliba surround the potential counterattack. I could have […]
New Arsenal 2 Old Arsenal 1 Positives, Needs and Hopes It was the 57th minute. There I am sitting with Max and my wife in the Hops ‘n Holler Arsenal pub in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was struggling to get a feel for what the problem was in the game. […]

If that was the past POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Before the game started I was really looking forward to simply watching my team. I’ve been bragging about the ‘new Arsenal’ to many people and told them to tune in. I desperately wanted Arsenal to show my friends and the world that they have changed. The […]
