I’ll preface this blog with this: this one will be a sad blog, for many fans. Please tweet all abuse to me @timjbharg on Twitter or leave a comment below – but please don’t abuse the other writers and editors! I think that next season Arsenal will get into the Champions League but it will […]
The match last night was a viewer’s delight. Before the game, the papers were full of what Klopp intended to do in order to counteract Arsenal`s passing game and to take the game to them. There were rumours that Wenger had suggested that he was prepared for the hard pressing onslaught that typified Klopp`s approach […]
The above became an iconic image as Francis Coqulin truly announced himself back on the Arsenal scene playing an integral part in the team’s 2-0 triumph away at City in the Spring. From his return from a short loan at Charlton, Le Coq and Arsenal have not looked back as he played his part in […]
Another day, another game. They really are coming thick and fast, which has its benefits, of course. But also its downsides. The obvious one being fatigue. No player, however physically fit, can play three games a week for even a fortnight, let alone three or four weeks in a row, which is exactly what we […]
Cazorla is not bringing enough to the deeper role – it’s time to build around Ramsey. Another disappointing evening in Europe for Arsenal, which effectively makes our task near impossible with two heavyweight ties against Bayern pending. What I wanted to discuss was the major flaws of Santi Cazorla and the very little he brings […]
We face Olympiacos in the 2nd game of the group stages and, needless to say, this game is a must-win: “You have to win your home games if you want to qualify from the group stage, it is simple as that. We cannot afford to drop points now against anyone at home.” While I have […]
After a loss I almost always swear and say I won’t write a review. The truth is, I will. I’ll even go as far as to say you are more likely to see a review of a defeat from me than a review of a resounding win. I’ll explain why. A little over two years […]
Well, this is awkward. A few times a season such a thing happens: we play a team I know nothing, or next to nothing, about. And yet I have to write a preview. In such cases I try to concentrate more on what we do and how we approach the game and this is exactly […]
Omar wrote a great blog earlier about players playing in certain positions, also calling the manager’s (I don’t mean Wenger per se but a manager in a general sense) tactics as a factor in how that player performs, for example Wenger using Eboue as a right-winger when he was a full-back by trade, or Mourinho […]
So, Where Are We Really? The silly season is almost over. So, where does Arsenal stand in comparison to our major competitors in the Premier League? Arsenal signed a top goalkeeper in Petr Cech, with Wojciech Szczesny exiting on loan to Roma, and David Ospina and Emi Martinez remaining to deputize. Ospina and Martinez are likely, […]
