Out-Foxed at the King Power This was a new low. And I feel it was coming from the off. The team selection was fair, in terms of the player quality. It was seemingly a 442 we were playing, but then from the off, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers got his players up for it, […]
Leicester City vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We have another away day, and this time at the King Power Stadium, the home of Leicester City. It’s been a mixed season for Leicester, with the untimely death of their owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Seasoned manager Brendan Rodgers has also come in, and despite not achieving fully […]
‘WHO STOLE THE JUMPERS?’ Positives, Needs and Hopes One of Unai Emery’s very first soundbites was, “We want to be protagonists!” I’m glad he wants to be as all fans love attacking football but we are protagonists only every once in a while. Personally, I would not have made this statement without the individual […]
‘THE £100 MILLION UPGRADE’ Positives, Needs and Hopes I’ve decided to not cause myself any further pain. It would be super easy to go in two footed on that selection and performance but no doubt you’ve read that over and over already as it’s 35 minutes after the final whistle and that’s all I’ve read. […]
Napoli vs. Arsenal Europa League preview QF 2nd Leg (0-2 Aggregate) We’re heading to southern Italy, and the city of Naples – or Napoli in Italian. Napoli has been the biggest challenger to Juventus of late, beating either bigger clubs like Inter and AC Milan in this regard. They’re no slouches really – since they […]
CAN ARSENAL CLINCH EVERY POINT LEFT AND AIM FOR A TOP 3 FINISH? By Ashley Munson The football season is rapidly drawing to a close and the race for the top four – and subsequently qualification to the Champions League – is well and truly on. Arsenal have climbed back into fourth place to sit […]
‘4 points, 2 points or none’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I have no interest in working at FIFA. Well, I might take a medium sized bung then take a sabbatical to Montego Bay for 30 years! I also don’t think that they should change the 3 points for a win system. It’s fine. When I […]
Watford vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We face Watford, and a certain Mr. Deeney, who notably said we lacked the balls (essentially) when he beat us 2-1 in 2017. This comment was perhaps a bit base, since it was on national TV (BT Sport), but it was warranted. We did lack the “cojones” […]
Have we found the Firestarters? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES What’s the fastest way to create belief in sport? Occasionally, you support a team who are so mentally strong that they make you mentally strong too. Most of the time though we arrive at the ground/turn on the TV and hope. I think the fastest way […]
Arsenal vs. Napoli Preview – Europa League QF Preview After the poor game at Everton, we’re back in Europe, and this time vs. Napoli of Italy’s Serie A. This was, of course, the hardest draw in the competition – though I feel whoever wins this will go on to win the competition. However, despite […]
