With the arrival of PEA, Mislintat, and potentially Sokratis, as well as the football development appointment announced lately, and Ozil’s extension, does this mean we’re adopting a German-esque model? Are we becoming the Dortmund of England, or even to prove Gazidis correct, another Bayern Munich? Monetary deficits Arsenal is a rich club, and […]
This is the response to an article written by a well balanced and very reasonable man, who has an admirable streak of loyalty to friends and people with whom he attaches himself. The article contains references of Arsene Wenger`s loyalty to the club and therefore there is a kind of kindred spirit between him and […]
Ever get the feeling you have been had? 12 months ago Arsenal were playing 4231 Theo and Ox were the first two choices for the right wing berth Iwobi was emerging as Alexis’s cover Serge had returned from a disastrous loan under Spulis Arsenal sold Serge to Werder Bremen for a pittance, with rumours that […]
There has been a lot of discussion amongst supporters recently, regarding the proposed ‘Wenger out’ protest, due to take place prior to our home game against Bayern Munich. A protest that has sparked a combination of disapproval, anger and typically, abuse being aimed in the direction of those responsible for organising it and planning to […]
Our annual trip to Munich is coming to a head today, with yet another showdown against the Bavarian giants on the cards. Undoubtedly we are the underdogs once again. Because of our far-from-stellar form, because of the general lack of belief in our ability to get a result, and obviously because Bayern are just a […]
“If I have learned anything during these past few weeks, it’s that we can adapt to opponents. We can hit them from the off like a hurricane (the normal one, not that overgrown Draco Malfoy version), we can play sterile possession to tire them out, or we can just set up two banks of four […]
Last year, when changes to the seeding system were announced, Arsenal fans were both outraged and excited. Outraged because the new system meant only champions would be seeded in the first pot. Our chances at becoming champions last year at that stage looked, let’s put it mildly, slim. However, the fans were also excited to […]
Well, that was fun. Another good performance and another win by three goals. I think I can get used to this. Before the game, a lot was made of how tough a team Watford is on their home soil and you could see why: the Hornets started the game at a really good pace, were […]
Watford They haven’t had too many regular starters on international duty so they’ll be fresh for the challenges that we’ll present them with. Luckily for us, Mertesacker has retired from international football, while Gabriel, Monreal, Koscielny and (inexplicably) Coquelin were all left at home by Brazil, Spain and France respectively. That means that defensively at […]
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 […]
