Since Little Chilli burst onto the scene 4 seasons ago, teams have struggled to deal with his pace, guile and all round sheer genius. However, since the restart after the World Cup, it has become clear that a combined tactic has been adopted to stop Star-boy in his tracks. Through my covert contact, I have […]
Firstly, what is the problem? The problem is that teams have found a perticilur tactic that seem to neutrulize ours. A tactic that involves having everyone behind the ball, having the midfield and attack central and most importantly doubling up on our wingers when they get the ball. All this while focusing primarily on direct […]
The one that doesn’t have them An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Control and consistency. If you were to ask the elite football coaches for the two things that they strive for more than other it will be these two. Everybody’s trying to attain what Arsenal have achieved already. Nobody’s going to hand out […]
Forged in fire. One of our own. A star rises up to meet the challenge… Post- West Ham art doodle – fan art tribute to Lil’ Chilli, Bukayo Saka 7. Unashamed fanboy. Perhaps part of a future series? Your thoughts in the comments below. invinciblogI was eleven-and-a-half. My family had just emigrated from […]
As we Gooners savour our team sitting pretty, 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League, our thoughts, for most of us at least, may turn to the World Cup. We probably don’t want it or approve of it, but we do have several of our stars, although thankfully not as many as […]

So, when Arsenal did exactly that against Nottingham Forest, and Gabriel Jesus failed to score for the 7th successive match in which he featured, some in the media may have been questioning the Brazilian’s […]
Football history, yes, even before the Premier League, tells us that the most successful teams strengthen when they are on top. The great Liverpool managers of the 1970s always added 1- or 2-star signings each summer as league champions, even though in those days with only 1 substitute, it usually meant demoting a fan favourite.

Arsenal are in the middle of a bruising playing schedule and like most fans I was concerned to see the energy and urgency in the team’s performance drop off at St Mary’s on Sunday. Fortunately, Arteta’s team, despite their first dropped Premier League points since the defeat at Old Trafford, still sit 2 points clear […]
On the 12th of May, Arsenal’s Champions League hopes were severely dented by the old enemy as Tottenham Hotspur ran out 3-0 winners on home soil. A result that many didn’t expect but one that led to the Gunners’ capitulation towards the dying embers of the season, losing out on a place in Europe’s top […]
It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fanbase in general showed a lack of faith and a fair amount of concern at the end of the Transfer Window. The worries concentrated around a lack of depth in central midfield and also on whether the squad had cover to rest and rotate an over […]
