Having frequently criticised Arsene in the past, there will undoubtedly be some members of our fan base who will hold the view that supporters like me, who openly question our manager, take some form of enjoyment from seeing him come under increasing pressure from fans and the media. However, the reality is that the sadness […]
The longer I spend reflecting on our two disappointing results against Hull City and Barcelona, the more I find myself not only questioning Arsene’s judgement but his comments to the media too. Arsene’s decision to make nine changes to the team to face Hull was somewhat expected with Barcelona on the horizon. Despite this being […]
This was an Arsenal performance of contrasts. There was much to admire but anxieties remain that we will fall short of our number one goal – the Premier League. As to the positives they were clear to see. Elneny played well on his debut – he was busy, prominent, challenged and committed. It is always […]
Newbies, Returnees and Kiddies I’m not normally one for writing previews, but this week I thought I’d give it ago. Sunday Morning (AEDT) Burnley roll into town and The Arsenal continue their second defence of the Emirates (FA) Cup. (That would be a lovely Saturday 3pm for you guys back home) In true Wenger cup […]
“Traditionalist I maybe but I am coming round to the view that a mid-season break is a good thing. Too many players in too many Clubs are experiencing injuries which may have more to do with stress and fatigue than bad tackles or unlucky challenges. The pressure for the break came, originally, from the weather. […]
This past week saw another disappointing night for Arsenal. Once again, we lost to a team that we reasonably expected to beat – Olympiakos had never won on English soil, and we have beaten them a few times before. Despite scoring twice, we still managed to lose the match after conceding within 60 seconds of […]
In my 11 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve seen us lose a lot of games. Home and away, by a fine margin and only just, to big teams playing crap football and small sides rising to the occasion. Every defeat was, and still is, different. Simply because you can’t play two identical games even against […]
Hi All, I had to write this for cathartic reasons!! So, the transfer window light has been flicked off and we are shufflling out of the other side blinking, squinting and staring into the new dawn. On the face of it, Arsenal have a nice, solid looking squad of twenty six. Goalkeepers – Cech, Ospina and presumably […]
Arsenal Football Club invited IPL and and Essex cricketers, Ravi Bopara and Ryan ten Doeschate to the Arsenal Training Ground to take part in a cricket challenge earlier this month. The cricket duo taught newcomers to the sport David Ospina and Gabriel how to bowl, before taking part in a bowling competition. Each side bowled […]
Wojciech Szczesny has completed his move to AS Roma, the guy himself announced the deal via his Instagram account. Although all reports do not agree about the formula of the deal, John Cross of the Mirror believes that the initial loan move could be made permanent for as little as £ 5m. If confirmed, that means […]
