Is Wenger changing? The stereotype of Wenger, at least before this season, has been: A (formerly) great manager A manager who seldom ever changes his team to suit the opposition A manager who cannot motivate his players for the big games A manager who believes that tactics is moot, and that sexy football conquers all […]
I like Cech, but this season he has been pretty poor. As of now (the international break), he has 4 Premier League clean sheets, which is not that far behind Courtois, Lloris, or de Gea as other top six team keepers. He, of course, holds the Premier League all-time clean sheet record, and the joint […]
Danny Welbeck’s new found form gives Arsenal a good type of a headache There were quite a few positives to derive from the 3-0 win over Bournemouth over the weekend. The quality of the squad and the fact it was played at the Emirates means they would win the fixture 9 out of 10 times […]
Why did Wenger change? The recent defeats have made me more pensive about our club than usual. I have said I am Wenger Out for some time here, but then I guess it’s part of my personality and my own vocational experience to be analytical. I have often been involved in roles requiring problem-solving/organisational operations, […]
The transfer window has now shut, and this is a summation of how we did relative to our rivals. CHELSEA Positives – Shut out Costa, who clearly didn’t want to play for them again – Morata – Bakayoko Negatives – Confusion with the board and Conte on signings – Not enough possibly compared to other […]
Premier League Season Preview 2017/18 So the new season is but days away, it feels both an age away but also just like yesterday that Arsenal lit Wembley up during the epic curtain closer of the FA cup final. There are so many changes in football this coming season, with many clubs getting new managers […]
We Go Again Life can be straightforward for a football fan, when he/she lives it in seasons rather than calendar years, like regular people do. What does a season comprise of, for your average football fan? It starts with hope which transcends to excitement, nervousness, short lived euphoria, disappointment, renewed hope, despair and finally ending […]
Arsenal vs. Chelsea – 6th August 2017 – Wembley Stadium So it’s the first (kind of) official game of the season, where we play our West London city neighbours at Wembley. This summer has been….well average, in my opinion. Lacazette is a plus, as is Kolasinac. Sanchez staying (even if it’s for just a […]
MODERN FOOTBALL, WHERE WILL IT ALL END? ££££££££ I know it’s extremely satisfying to see Barcelona lose one of their best players to another club. It’s karma for what they did to Arsenal, taking Cesc Fabregas and other players away from us. But even so the Neymar deal doesn’t seem right to me. In fact […]

Thanks Hari – look forward to seeing more from you in the future. Putting things to bed: it’s time to get behind the Arsenal The […]
