The title race is over. In January. A rampant Liverpool side is already 13 points clear (with a game in hand) and are on a 37-game undefeated streak that is rapidly approaching the 49, 49 Undefeated… achieved by Arsenal’s 2003/4 “Invincibles”. That Liverpool may go the season undefeated seems more likely than not. Most Arsenal […]
Most Gooners are now Emery Out. I am too, and the Sheffield United defeat was my personal tipping point. I don’t think he can take the club forward anymore. However, should we sack him, there is a thought amongst fans that grates me, to some extent. Would it be “un-Arsenal” to sack […]
Today sees the launch of a campaign to make Stan Kroenke and KSE sit up and take notice at the concerns of the majority of the Arsenal fans. This has not been effective or possible in the past because the fan base and the influential groups who represent, write or talk about our great football […]
Welcome, new season! While the Club is busy launching the new home kit, which will finally see us leave Puma and embrace Adidas, I am reflecting about the upcoming season and the expectations that go with it. The recently leaked (was it, though?) commercial about the new home kit has gone viral for various reasons, […]
With just a couple of days now till the Europa League Final in Baku. I thought I’d take a stroll down memory lane to take a look at our previous endeavours in Europe. All in all it has to be said for a club of Arsenal’s stature we’ve underachieved in European competition. Just two trophies […]
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 strengthen chances of a top four finish There is little doubt that the main aim for Emery at the start of the season was to ensure the club is playing Champions league football next season. The Gunners can still qualify through the Europa league and recently secured their progression to the next round following […]
Deloitte Arsenal – cause for concern but a way forward can be clear The Deloitte Money League, an annual report on global football clubs’ revenues, was released in January. It’s a mix of projections and actual accounts from clubs, and used to show how revenues impact on performance relative to others. As a […]
The weird and wacky world of UEFA It is the Interlull so not much Arsenal news afoot. Down here, the news is awash with yellow sticky tape, sugar and reverse swingers. Therefore, I thought I would have a look at something slightly different. The weird and wacky world of UEFA. When is The Emirates […]
With the Europa League game very soon, and the prospect of winning a third European trophy, I wanted to lighten our negative mood. And not just after losing to the scum. But in our inconsistent displays and weak mentality. Opinions will naturally differ, but these are my favourite European games*: Arsenal 7-0 Sparta Prague 1993/94 […]
