Do you remember…….? Arshavin’s one touch vs Barcelona. Henry’s rare late header vs Utd. Fabregas from kick off vs Spurs. Kanu going solo vs Chelsea. I remember where I was, who I was with and the level of mad-crazy I went. Fans love moments. They are important. Martinelli vs Chelsea has now become one. A […]
The 65th minute on December the 10th Positives, Needs And Hopes In my lifetime I cannot remember a more obvious sliding doors moment since Lehmann got sent off in the Champions League final. That’s a long time. Prior to the 60th minute I was seriously considering the short term future of the club. It’s hard […]
‘A Seminal Moment at the Crossroads’ Any day now it’s about to happen. The Arsenal board will arrive at the crossroads. They have to decide. Most certainly a seminal moment in our recent history. Even though this game was the least important (finally a fun fest for the fans), it once again exposed Emery. We […]
“We are all humans, we all have emotions, and sometimes it’s not easy dealing with them. It’s time to lift each other up, not to push each other away. We only win when we are together.“ These fantastic words are just a well constructed, diplomatic and compassionate way of trying to help, to defuse and […]
‘Pepe lays a rug on Madface’ Sliding doors moment for Nicholas Pepe and Unai Emery?? For the first 70 minutes I was wondering if Emery’s last real positive was slipping away. We’ve been very good in the EL and yet again we were poor AND poor and losing. Not only has Pepe’s two moments of […]
‘WHAT MATTERS?’ The points and performance debate…. No argument that the points matter. They matter more than the performance. That’s not what this question is about though. It’s about how the present is making us feel about the future. It’s fair to also say that Emery has been given the squad to produce far better […]
Was Arsenal’s summer transfer season really a success? On the 30th of September, Arsenal clashed swords with Manchester United under unrelenting Mancunian skies, hoping to lay down its first significant marker of the Premier League season. However, they failed to do so as Unai Emery’s men crawled to a tame stalemate. The Gunners, despite finding […]
The future’s bright – the future is Arsenal? Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest – League Cup review Orange may have morphed into EE – but their old and paraphrased slogan seems applicable here. Old heads like Ozil performed well, but the young and new guns shone. All of this was mixed with our good […]
You can’t win anything with kids It’s Wednesday 12th August 2020 & Julian Nagelsmann is about to start his first pre-match press conference of the new season. It had been an interesting summer in the transfer market. Mustafi and Xhaka had joined Yeovil Town on deadline day, both stating it had been a childhood dream […]
On one bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon I decided to get a little trim at the hairdressers, upon walking into the barbers , I found myself in a long queue with some other fine gentlemen of various degrees of baldness. I’d been meaning to write a North London derby starting 11 piece for some time […]
