The close friendship between happiness and frustration Positives, Needs and Hopes. I am so happy that we are winning the games that we do not necessarily deserve to. I am frustrated that we are winning but not playing particularly well. Happy, frustrated. Frustrated or happy? I have decided…I am 63% happy and 37% frustrated 😆 […]
Arsenal 2-0 Watford – review We had the “cojones” today. We are neighbours in some senses. Our training grounds are adjacent, and Hertfordshire (their home county) borders Greater London. We also have achieved success via style in the past – like Barnes and Blissett in the past for them. Or Wenger for us. […]
A little swagger adds clarity to Emery’s attacking plan… Positives, Needs and Hopes I think I am starting to figure it out. It has not been clear so far, what our attacking plan is. It has made some fans doubt that Emery is even capable. Here is what I saw against Brentford. The attacking midfield […]
Arsenal didn’t get stung by Brentford…. Overall, Arsenal was the better team, though Brentford put up a good fight in the second half. We started off strongly and got an early lead via Danny Welbeck. We then had many other chances following, through Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, and Smith-Rowe, who made a capable full debut on the […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
As I said yesterday the speculation about how Arsenal will look and set up come August is rife, despite the welcome distraction of England’s World Cup exploits. Unusually our club find themselves in a position where many of the key players were not involved in Russia and are all back and working with Emery and […]
It is a strange time on Arsenal social media when every fourth summer the largest and most exciting festival of football has the cheek to infringe on time usually reserved for transfer rumour and gossip. Arsenal and the new Emery regime are quietly an efficiently going about their business and making their mark. The new […]
Arsenal’s World Cup players – How well can our players do in the coming World Cup? Whilst we may not have as many World Cup players as in previous tournaments, it’s interesting to see nonetheless how well they can do With the addition of Lichtsteiner, we have an additional player in the World […]
Arsenal 17/18 season review So we finished 6th. Our most successful manager ever has left. And we’ve got some world-class players in. But how did we do? And what areas need to be improved, or sustained? Let’s see, shall we? GK/Defence Cech – 4 – Has declined and made numerous mistakes. It […]
In the penultimate Wenger home league game, we got a nervy win vs. West Ham. The scoreline doesn’t suggest it was easy. the first half showed a strong West Ham performance, considering they needed the points amidst being in a relegation battle. We didn’t really look sharp in the opening moments, and West […]
