Well, that looked like a true team against a new team. Not an excuse, just facts in action. Formation 4-2-3-1 POSITIVES * Maitland Niles’s glides in possession and exudes so much confidence on the ball. I hope, as he gets older he keeps this carefree love for the ball and does not over think or […]
A sad moment has just passed, Santi has left the building and rejoined Villarreal. In my mind an Arsenal legend, a touch of class in a team that was falling apart around him. In an injury ravaged 6 year stay at The Emirates, Santi managed just 129 games, with a scoring rate of a goal […]
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 […]
You know that when half the fanbase is hoping for the game to be called off for whatever reason, while the other half is plotting to stay at home despite having the tickets, the footballing aspect of your team must be in dire state. And so it is, abundantly demonstrated by the game yesterday. Shortly […]
“The Premier League is a very important championship, perhaps the most important in Europe. Everybody would one day like the opportunity to work there.” – Leonardo Jardim That opportunity may come sooner rather than later for the Venezuelan native, following a broad spectrum of news outlets have reported in recent days.

Probably the single thing that sums up the current situation at Arsenal best is that I’m hoping for our game today to be called off due to weather conditions in London. It’ll likely go ahead and I’ll have to write about another defeat come Friday. Even the fact we are playing at home does little […]
Well before the game I knew we were the underdogs for the final. I’ve seen City play countless times this season, and I knew they can be a handful for just about anyone. Our only slim hopes of beating them rested on defensive discipline and piling pressure on their fullbacks. Even so it was obvious […]
In the coming days a lot will be written about how Arsenal should approach the Caribou Cup Final against Manchester City. Despite their recent loss to Wigan, they are still the most in-form team in England and arguably the best team in the world. I’d predict that the consensus for Arsenal’s strategies to be successful […]
The Liverpool game was noteworthy, in my mind, for some key points. Firstly, we attack well, and so do Liverpool. Secondly, we defend atrociously. And so do they. Third, it was one of the games of the season. Lastly, we were wrong to boo the Ox. That’s right; I don’t believe he warranted that treatment. […]
This is the response to an article written by a well balanced and very reasonable man, who has an admirable streak of loyalty to friends and people with whom he attaches himself.
