At present, we are lying 6th in the Premier League table with 45 points, 8 points behind Chelsea and 12 points behind Tottenham in 4th. We are a remarkable 30 points behind league leaders Manchester City, who put us to the sword for the second time in a week at the Emirates last night, having […]

Lacazette or Giroud: Have we sold the wrong Frenchman?
So after the more than disappointing North London Derby a lot of the media have been using Lacazette as a scapegoat. Lacazette’s recent performances have doubtlessly been very short of his best but is this criticism fair? After Giroud’s performance for Chelsea on Monday night I’m sure a lot of Arsenal fans will be kicking […]
Sting in the Tail as Arsenal Bids Adieu To Scorpion King Giroud
When Robin van Persie left Arsenal in 2012, I made a promise to never have a favourite Arsenal player again. The wounds from Henry’s departure still hadn’t fully healed, despite the divorce happening five years prior. I was also trying to black Cesc Fabregas out of my mind. To lose a second captain inside one […]
The League Cup – Love it or Leave it, Arsenal are In it to Win it
League Cup.. Hypocrisy or not?? Well, we’re in the League Cup final, vs. City no less. I genuinely believe we can win this, since we can beat anybody on our day. Last season’s FA Cup win proved this in fine style. Nonetheless, despite us being the better team over two legs vs. Chelsea, should we […]
Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal – Wenger’s New Tactical Purchase? A Bus.
Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal Carabao Cup Semi-Final Leg 1 Stamford Bridge • January 10, 2018 Where did this come from? My latest match reviews have been pretty morose. Well, it’s pretty much on point, considering we’ve played the same bad stuff, and hit new lows. But today, we did OK. Chelsea had a stronger team out […]
Last Chance Saloon for Wenger, Senior Fringe Players and Arsenal’s domestic season – CFCvAFC Semi
We take on Chelsea for the the second time inside 6 days and my fear Wenger is going to field a squad not dissimilar to the one which crashed out of the cup three days ago. Mercifully, there’s the small matter of these guys having to play a second game in just a matter of […]
Dodgy Defence, Dodgy Ref, Dodgy Pen over shadow a Wilshere Masterclass
Having slept on yesterday’s draw, watched the highlights and both AW’s presser and post-game interview, and gulped down some validol to get over the fact how monumental an excuse of a ref Anthony Taylor is, I’m ready to say the draw was a fair result overall. For every good attack of ours we looked just […]
Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea – Super Jack fires Gunners to heroic but disappointing draw
Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea Emirates Stadium, London January 4th, 2018 The good Arsenal turned up today, and not the bad one that showed up at West Ham, Southampton, or West Brom. I genuinely suspected it might, and I tweeted such pre-match. I don’t know, maybe it was a hunch, but a correct one nonetheless. Chelsea look […]
Injury Blues ahead of facing the Blues – Debuchy or Niles in with Kolasinac joining Monreal out?
Antonio Conte’s men visit the Emirates today, and somehow I feel even less optimistic about our chances to come out on top than before the Liverpool game. In part this feeling is down to the turgid performance we produced at the Hawthorns, in part because our growing injury list restricts Wenger’s options. Also, there’s that […]
Arsenal 2017 Mid-Season Autopsy: The Good, Bad and Fugly
So, the year is almost ending. But then how has it been for us? This is my view: The Good I cannot ignore the FA Cup win. A certain club got second place for the first time in decades, but that’s not a trophy, is it? We were underdogs vs. Chelsea, but then we bossed […]
