For those who read my blog last week, this won’t come as a surprise: Leicester City fully deserved their imminent Premier League triumph and I congratulate them on their amazing achievement – although it really put the Arsenal and Arsène Wenger in a very difficult position. Leicester City are showing that winning against big-spenders without throwing […]
We are still without our superb Match reviewer who returns next week for West Ham so I thought I would step in again with some player ratings instead. It was a hugely enjoyable performance from Arsenal yesterday and the only disappointments came off the pitch and not on it. The 7th minute response to Rocky […]
Alex Iwobi and the new formation JK Hornsby has announced a new series of books, this time plotting the footballing education of a Nigerian born teenager, living in North London. The series will chart out the boys rise through the ranks from Arsenal’s youth team, his selection for the Nigerian national team an ultimately his […]
Where does Welbeck’s recent form leave Giroud? In what has been an elongated period of negatives for Arsenal football club, one positive along with a few others showed himself again in the impressive 2-0 victory over Everton at the weekend. No it is not another Arsenal fan over-hyping Alex Iwobi, although he was half decent […]
Writing a preview for what should have been a fabulous occasion for Arsenal football club is not a pleasant task. At 0-0 will 20 minutes to go at the Emirates in the first leg against Barcelona Arsenal had matched Europe’s finest and could even have been ahead. To leave the Home leg goalless and to […]
In the absence of Alex, our usual previewer I have stepped into the breach today. After all, he had to make himself write the review of the Old Trafford Horror show and deserved a rest. Anything else would be editorial mental cruelty on my part. My style of writing does not lend itself to […]
I was watching the Leicester match in the company of Man Utd, Spurs and Liverpool fans and whilst the match was unfolding I made the remark that on Valentines day I could feel all the lurve around me? Like Harold at Hastings, I stood my ground and in the face of the hordes around me […]
Our editor wrote a blog recently voicing concerns about the future of the young English Core at Arsenal. Yes we have a talented squad and no less than 6 of the Arsenal first team set up have featured for Hodgson’s England during eh qualifying period – Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Jack […]
“The Arsenal medical staff are interfering with transfers.” As a headline that is pretty damning, suggesting that the medical staff are deliberately affecting the transfer business of Arsene Wenger. That’s not the truth, but it’s a half truth. Arsene Wenger confirmed in December that more than one signing was likely. A few weeks later it […]
Hi everyone. I suspect it will be a short one today, despite the scale of the fixture – mainly because as I’m writing this the arrows on the clock are inching towards 10 p.m. on a Monday. It wouldn’t be such as issue had I not been forced to put in only 5 hours of […]
