It would be impossible to label Arsenal’s performance at Everton as anything other than ‘limp’ and that might be considered generous. Whilst much of the Arsenal fanbase might lay the blame for the team’s lack ambition, particularly when his team takes the lead, at Mikel Arteta’s door, there is no evidence the Spaniard is […]

The New Premier League Season: Can Arsenal Kick Off With A Victory?
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.

Crucial game for Top 3 dreams: Arsenal vs. Newcastle United – Premier League preview
Arsenal vs. Newcastle United – Premier League preview So, after our adventures in Dubai, we’re back at home with our returning international stars. The interlull is dead; long live the top four/Europa League run-in. We face Newcastle United, and both we and they have points to gain for two differing reasons. We’ve had some […]
If Emery wants to persist this way surely Holding and Leno can’t do worse than Sokratis and Cech?

Gunners need Jack and Laca (back) to reignite their limp attack: Newcastle preview
We face Newcastle at the Emirates today, and this gives us another chance at redemption. A third one after losing to United. While I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic given the way we’ve played recently, two things make me somewhat calmer we won’t shoot ourselves in the foot once again: it’s a home fixture and […]
Wenger 2.0 – Make It Real, Not Fantasy
