When the least is the most POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES It would be beautiful if one time in my life Arsenal would have a period where they had a bottomless pit of cash. That they would have a couple of transfer windows where they bought everyone they needed. Just once. It’s not going to happen, […]
A look ahead to the January Transfer Window, how Arteta and Emery compare defensively, and behind-the-scenes drama. Recent results have wound up Arsenal fans over the globe; with some calling for Arteta’s immediate departure and comparing his win rate in his first 26 games, (46%) with Unai Emery’s (58%). Emery outperforms Arteta in most categories, […]
BLOODY HELL, SCORE SOME GOALS!As if it was easy… As a 37 year-old man, I couldn’t fully appreciate the boring, boring Arsenal days; when I first met the Gunners, in 1994, the George Graham era was scarily close to its end – although none had a clue about it. The Cup Winners’ Cup final was […]
The Fanbase is willing you to make this work We have your back after that other berk It’s like homegrown talent, a fact well known: Supporters are more patient with one of their own We know financially you have one arm tied behind your back We know […]
What a difference a week can make, from feeling euphoric to embarrassed. One step forward, two steps backwards. My previous article warned Arsenal supporters against getting too carried away after our impressive victory at Old Trafford and unfortunately, that proved to be some shrewd advice. I’ve also been saying for a while that Mikel […]
Since signing for Arsenal as a 10-year-old back in 2011, 19-year-old Folarin Balogun (known also as ‘Flo’), has netted 53 times and has 15 assists at the U18 and U23 levels for Arsenal. His future, however, is a major uncertainty as Balogun has entered the final season in 20/21 of his contract as a Gunner […]
The Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ isn’t a fixed concept. Fifteen years ago, you might have argued it was more of a ‘Big Three’. Whereas ten years ago, there were maybe four teams who challenged for the title. The number of teams who hit that peak of performance, and dominate both home and away, can shift […]
On occasions when our manager and players have failed to deliver in games, some of our supporters including myself, have criticised them, so by the same token, it’s only fair that we praise them when they do perform. After previously questioning some of Mikel Arteta’s tactics and decisions, it was perhaps inevitable that I would […]
Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal – 14 years is way too long! This isn’t a peak Man United side by no means. Yes, they finished third last season and have some top players like Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, and now Cavani. But to win at Old Trafford after 14 years with some debasing defeats (8-2), […]
The System or the Game POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Some games feel more important than others. Yesterdays game felt particularly important. This might have been because our results have been as expected so far. This game was against an equal. It had the power to send us one point off top, but even though we […]
