GT It wasn’t the best of performances in Moscow, but Arsenal survived a Moscow onslaught to reach the Europa League semi-finals thanks to goals from Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey, here are some player ratings from Moscow. Petr Cech- 5, Cech was arguably at fault for both of their goals, pushing it straight to […]
In truth, the sight of Skipper and on pitch leader, Laurent Koscielny being withdrawn injured has for years been a worrying one for Arsenal supporters. For some time, in the eyes of most of us the Frenchman was one of a decreasingly limited number of world class performers in the first team squad. We can […]
There are only three days and two training sessions between Arsenal and their best shot at a trophy in this, so far, season of gross under achievement. This being the case it is hard to imagine that any player with a realistic chance of starting at Wembley will start this evening in the Europa League. […]
WBA 1-1 Arsenal Not the best of performances last night. And a certain Mr. Dean did rob us. But in honesty, that’s not what’s bothering me. What IS bothering is another sideways shuffle and impotent performance in the final third. We had more than enough, in terms of personnel, to win that game. It’s just […]
Palace 2-3 Arsenal This was good. Yes, we showed more mistakes in places. But overall, this was a good performance. And befitting of our manager’s record-equalling game. Palace huffed and puffed a bit in the opening minutes, and Zaha looked strong throughout. However, we bossed this period, with sharp passing, pressing, and incisive inter-play. Our […]

Though it could be called a Herts. neighbours’ derby, since our training grounds border each other near London Colney, a village just south of St. Albans. That said, Watford has established itself as a firm Premier League club in […]
Arsenal vs. Doncaster Rovers Carabao Cup Wednesday 20th September 2017 As autumn dawns and it gets colder, the League Cup’s sponsors are a cold drink too. I don’t drink energy drinks that much, but then this isn’t a “monster” tie. Nor will this tie have a strong bite to it, like a “gator”(ade). Sorry, I […]
Well, that went a bit better, didn’t it? A convincing win at home, some breathtaking football and a clean sheet on top. Yummy. Of course we have to take a toothless Bournemouth into account. Eddie Howe’s side offered precious little and at one point the commentator said it was probably the worst he has seen […]
7 days and counting… Arsene’s quotes directly after our defeat to Stoke RUFC “First we lose the ball in the middle of the park, and after that we gave them too much freedom at the back through the middle and basically gave them a goal. You need to improve the connections with the players but […]
