A game of no risk POSITIVES, NEEDS and RIP-OFF LEADS You’ve had time to breathe. I haven’t. I write this pretty raw after a game I did not see coming. I predicted 5-0 and actually felt pretty sure of myself. Arsenal had many layers of momentum and West Ham had the opposite of momentum, […]
The HUGE small detail Houssem Aouar may never sign for Arsenal. If he doesn’t don’t chuck this post in the bin because there’ll be another that this speaks to. When signing a player the very first step is identifying the needs of the team. If I had that job this would be my list […]
Episode 16 “Get Out Of Jail Free (Bronze Edition)” Dave, Charlie and Paul discuss the Aubameyang contract saga, Dani Ceballos’ loan renewal, the players we’re prepared to sell and those we’d rather keep (there aren’t that many of them!) They then turn their attention to Saturday’s Cup Final – possible formations and tactics, predictions, and […]
Can we sign Trust? I don’t trust Arsenal. I don’t think I have for over 10 years. My son and I get comfortable and excited on the couch. Out Arsenal run. My son looks at me. He does it every game. It’s a mix of fear and adrenaline I see in his face. He’s only […]
Vital Statistics from Arsenal 1-1 Leicester City Premier League • Matchday 35 • 12th July 2020 A bitterly disappointing result that included far too many individual errors at both ends of the pitch, defeat to them will never be easy but it hurts even more when they are a really poor side and we ourselves […]
It’s the game every Arsenal fan looks forward to. Fiery, controversy, passion and hatred are words I’d associate with the NLD. Add Mourinho into the mix and it’s spiced things up to a whole new level. Right now I’m confident but I guarantee you that come Sunday morning, anxiety will creep in. Spurs: Set […]
Vital Statistics from Arsenal 1-1 Leicester City Premier League • Matchday 34 • 07 July 2020 In a performance that showed resilience, battle, structure and a superb attitude, we can find ourselves unlucky not to take the 3 points after the damaging red card and our unfortunate inability to finish key chances and put the […]
Vital Statistics from Wolves v Arsenal Premier League • Matchday 33 • 04 July 2020 Structure, hard work and attitude, right through the team – the simple part of football that’s been missing for too long. POSSESSION Interesting to note that again we didn’t have the lion’s share of possession, gone are the entirely ball […]
In my previous article, I said that football is a results business and in that respect, what a great couple of weeks it’s been since I last penned my thoughts. Most supporters are quick to criticise the manager when he gets it wrong, so I’m going to buck that trend by being quick to praise […]
Polish the rocks to buy the diamonds POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Many years ago I was in Memphis sitting in a restaurant late at night. I was chatting with a local man who was imparting one pearl of wisdom after another. As is life, we only remember the odd thing here and there. For some […]
