Sometimes, the fans are right Positives, Needs and Hopes Over the years I’ve wavered as to how I feel about how the impatient modern culture has infected football and fans in particular. I find it true that most people talk in extremes. Arsenal were brilliant. Arsenal are awful. Extreme views are much like sweeping statements, […]

Arsenal vs. Brighton Preview: Time to test our top attacking trio, with Luiz in mid
It’s Freddie’s first home game, and would it be a sound win? Or will it end up as stony as Brighton’s beach? We ended this game 1-1 in the latter part of last season – and arguably this led to Emery’s downfall. Or at the least, it was a major catalyst in fans turning against […]
Assessing Arsenal’s next 9 Premier League fixtures and predicting their position in the Premier League table.
Assessing Arsenal’s next 9 premier league fixtures and predicting their position in the Premier League table. Back in 2003-04, Arsenal scaled a seemingly insurmountable peak when they went through an entire league season unbeaten, earning themselves the nickname of the ‘Invincibles’ and pocketing another Premier League crown. However, since then, the Gunners haven’t managed to […]
The buck may stop with Emery, but the buck begins with Kroenke: it’s in HIS hands
I shared the feelings of optimism tempered by pessimistic thoughts described in Mike McDonald`s excellent article and unfortunately, the pessimism has come to the fore. We need to beat Chelsea now (provided we beat Valencia ) to get into the Championship League and in present form Chelsea must be favourites because while Arsenal have stagnated, […]
Arsenal 1-1 Brighton: Mistakes are forgivable. Not learning from them isn’t. [Player Ratings]
Arsenal 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion Premier League review Top four has gone, and given the recent state of affairs, this won’t be a very positive review. We have made some progress this season, both on and off the pitch, but we still hold some major issues that need rectification. Most of us […]
Temporary blip or year-end collapse? Emery needs to hit Arsenal’s Refresh button. Fast.
This game against Brighton has to be the worst performance from Arsenal this year. We had 68% possession and were a goal up after 6 minutes yet we could only manage a1-1 draw against a team whose players were shivering with fear at the start of the game. They could not string two passes together […]
C’mon Arsenal, light your fire! Got deadwood to burn… (Brighton 1-1 Arsenal)
Arsenal about to light the fire 🔥 POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Sometimes the coach needs to see something so poor in order for the fire to arrive. Ever since I moved from London to the US, I have greatly enjoyed living here but if I was to change something then this would be on the […]
Brighton 2-1 Arsenal: Gunners Slide on the Seaside
Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Matchday 29 Amex Stadium It’s more negativity here. Since we lost away. Again. We actually started off well, at least within the first 10 minutes or so. We had some chances via Ozil and Wilshere, but then we conceded a soft goal from a set piece. The […]
Can the Gunners get out of their slump, or are we in for another disappointment? – Brighton preview
We visit Brighton today as the search for some semblance of form goes on. I have to admit it’s been quite a while since I’ve felt this down before writing a preview. Possibly it compares to the events of 2016, when, after beating Leicester, we went on to lose to United and and Swansea. Right […]
Arsenal set to break an Emirates record with 9th Straight Win v Seagulls
Howdy. It’s Brighton today, the last Premier League game before the international break. The Gunners will be looking for a third consecutive win, fourth consecutive clean sheet and a record-high nine straight triumphs at the Emirates. There’s not much I can tell you about Brighton. Chris Hughton’s outfit has won 7 points from the first […]
