‘Backstage kills the band’ The match was a snapshot of Arsenal over the last 10 years. On the ball, good enough to win. Much like a band they had some rockstars who had the crowd on their feet. Lacazette, Aubameyang and Pepe played some quality back up to the lead singer, Matteo Guendouzi. Unfortunately, […]
Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal Premier League review I’m not sure what to think here. Yes, it was another defeat at Anfield. It’s been a ground for us, over the past several decades, of immense highs and woeful lows. This was a low, but not as bad as last season’s 5-1 battering, or the 4-0 […]
‘The Game of 7 Truths’ Sometimes we watch and it’s obvious what went right and wrong. Sometimes we watch and it isn’t because there were so many components to what happened. That was Liverpool vs Arsenal. So much truth and it comes from all directions. 1) Arsenal were dangerous going forward […]
Ceballos Controls Clarets Arsenal 2-1 Burnley Arsenal got off to the quick start they needed, with Lacazette getting the goal; with his back to goal (and defenders in tow) he swiveled whilst falling to get a finish away – nut megging keeper Nick Pope for the goal. Burnley equalised before the break through Ashley Barnes […]
‘HEROES ARE BORN QUICKLY’ Part of the unrest in previous seasons was not just the results or the lack of style but that the fans didn’t have a hero. Heroes can be frustratingly inconsistent but they offer a fan the breath of their footballing existence…. hope. When I started watching Arsenal seriously Anders Limpar had […]
Emirates Stadium – August 17, 2019 Last time out Arsenal won their last game away to Newcastle 1-0, a rare clean sheet on the road after only recording one all of last season. It was a makeshift team with a few first-teamers missing. Youth was also given a chance and there were good performances from […]
The New Premier League Season: Can Arsenal Kick Off With A Victory? Season 2019/2020 is finally here and we are surely going to enjoy a lot of interesting games in the English Premier League this year. Can other teams keep up with Manchester City and Liverpool this time and make the title race much more […]
Arsenal’s record-breaking acquisition of Lille forward Nicolas Pepe ahead of some top European clubs stunned many. It looked for a long time as if Wilfried Zaha would be the man making the move to the Emirates before news broke on the 27th July that Arsenal had agreed an €80m fee for Pepe. So what does […]
THE GAME CHANGERS vs THE SLEEPING PILLS Arsenal have two opposites going on. They have not only reinforced the attack, they have reinvigorated it with top class, youth, athleticism, speed and a new directness. I was fooled in the first half. We looked like we might replicate the big score line the last time we […]
The 10th rendition of the Emirates Cup returns this year after absence in 2018. The new tournament, which also features Arsenal women for the inaugural time, starts on Sunday. Arsenal returned from their American tour on Wednesday after three wins and a defeat. Two 3-0 victories against Colorado Rapids and Fiorentina respectively and also a […]
