NLD Review – It is time for more mobility in attack, it is time for Chuba.
After the loss to Tottenham with no chance of a response again this season, I will honestly admit I’m enraged! It means that we have failed to beat them this year that is always damaging to our pride as the far superior club. It’s hard to pinpoint where we went wrong but being the world […]
Villa too easy but the real test of the New Arsenal is at the Lane tomorrow
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,0,7,9 point 12. We’re interrupting our 5-year mission to head back to Earth for the North London derby. Exploring the final frontier can wait. Aston Villa Watching the game at the weekend I couldn’t help but think that this is the worst Villa side I’ve seen since David O’Leary was in charge. […]
Brighton, Tactics and not getting carried away cos Villa may not score but they don’t concede either!
Captain’s Log, Star-date 1,0,7,9 point 2. Does anyone know whose time measurement this actually is? Having survived my first sexual experience with the Klingon, (I can’t pronounce her name so I’m gonna call her Shirley) she’s now challenged me to a Bach-Ta! I thought I’d check what it was with Uhura this time. It turns out […]
Well F*ck Me, What A Start!
Anti Social Media Behaviour Well fuck me, that went well. What a disastrous start to a season. Gone be with the days where we could look at these first 8 or 9 fixtures and confidently say – “nice, 7 or 8 wins before we meet any of the top teams”. Gone be with the days […]
Arsenal 1-3 Aston Villa – The Worst Possible Start

Arsenal 1 – Villa 3: Enough’s enough.
Michael Jeffares Column Well isn’t it great to be back? Fuck me, how I haven’t missed this feeling. A feeling that can only be summed up in the word ‘deflated’ I thought I’d check out deflated on the old thesaurus and it threw up the following: DrainedEmptyExhaustedSagging There you have it, Arsène Wenger’s recent reign […]

Arsenal vs Aston Villa: View From The Opponents
View From The Opponents Arsenal will start their 2013-14 league campaign at home to Aston Villa on Friday. Both teams endured indifferent campaigns last season, the only difference being that Arsenal’s scramble was at the top and Villa’s at the bottom. Ahead of the game tomorrow, I caught up with Stuart Young of Avillafan.com for a small chat. While […]
Classics from the archive: Arsenal vs Aston Villa (Video)
It has been a season to forget for both Arsenal and Aston Villa for vastly different reasons. Arsenal, after the usual early season promise, have imploded and will, more than likely, end the season with no silverware. Villa, on the other hand, were not expecting to be in a struggle to stay in the top flight, especially after the […]
