After suffering a hugely disappointing defeat against Everton at Goodison Park, I was hoping to see some form of positive reaction from our players against Manchester City. Unfortunately, it didn’t materialise and we now find ourselves nine points adrift of the current league leaders, Chelsea. In the eyes of many supporters, a nine point lead […]
Ten minutes from time I was ready to accept the draw. This was born out of the simple fact we looked flat and more likely to concede than score. Olivier Giroud’s introduction didn’t quite produce last week’s effect, while Oxlade-Chamberlain was simply horrendous and had me wishing we had Lucas available. But we didn’t. Some […]
Howdy. Sorry for prolonged radio silence, but I bear good news: I’m finally done with uni (at least till September) and you’ll have my unreserved attention from now on. I’m also a bachelor of law now, only the formalities remain, so hit me with your congratulations in the comment section below. Anyway, quite a lot […]
Howdy. Euro 2016 marches on and further 6 games took place in the last two days. I’ll take a look at 3 of these, simply because the other 3 weren’t nearly as interesting. Germany 2-0 Ukraine Like with the hosts, the first thing that instantly draws your attention to the German team sheet is a […]
Ever-present. Long-serving. Commanding. Here are the three qualities any captain should have, in my humble opinion. I am quite sure you already know where I’m going with this piece, so let’s cut the introduction short: why are the Arsenal missing proper captain material so badly, recently? Leadership was never an issue during Arsène Wenger’s early […]
Why is Tomas Rosicky an Arsenal legend? Let us first explore the meaning of the word ‘legend’ in this context. According to the website of the Cambridge English Dictionary, the noun legend when used to denote a person is said to mean ‘someone very famous and admired, usually because of their ability in a particular […]
I think I won’t make much of a mistake if I say our Sunday game has produced only two positives: we have almost guaranteed 3rd (provided we avoid defeat in the last match) and Giroud had a good game, one which was long overdue for the Frenchman. Actually, thanks to Southampton, we even retain a […]
Well, what more can I say? I feel a strong, almost overwhelming desire to just copy and paste huge chunks of text from my Palace review. Not only because GroundHog day is now associated more with Arsenal than the movie, the day itself or even groundhogs, but because I’m tired of dissecting this tidal wave […]
As supporters we’ll never lose our addiction for discussing potential improvements the club can make throughout the year. I’ve seen plenty of Gooners enlisting Xhaka, Ibrahimovic, Mahrez, Kante as desired transfers in the summer but seriously is there any point to this? We’re simply wasting our time. In the past 3 season’s we have brought […]
Once again I don’t know where to start. Not because I have nothing to say, on the contrary, I have a lot to say. But little of it is good, hence my desire to delay the moment for as long as I can. I’ve never suffered from depression, you know. Depression is an actual illness, […]
