Is the Europa League the Best Route Into the Champions League for the Gunners? It hasn’t been the ideal start to the season for the Gunners, and already the walls seem to be closing in on Unai Emery. His position as the manager at the Emirates is looking weaker with every passing week at present. […]
‘Someone dropped a ladder in the deep dark hole’ By the time you read this surely he’s been sacked! If he hasn’t then these thoughts will need to be delayed. I had multiple negative titles and thoughts for this blog but I’m quite honestly bored of writing about Unai Emery. I want to be happy […]
by Matt Lorrimer-Roberts (@MattLR28) It’s been less then an unexpected turn of events at Arsenal since the start of the season for fans, players and even the head coaches. Our current form in the league reads in our previous five matches lost two, drawn three and won none. In the same time we have conceded […]
Arsenal took just 88 points during the final 50 Premier League games of Arsene Wenger’s reign and the board felt compelled to show him the door. Fans were calling for his head, Champions League football was no longer forthcoming and the directors decided it was time for a new chapter to begin. The arrival of […]
The gripes that many of the Arsenal fans had at the beginning of Emery’s tenure were often assuaged by assurances that the board were quietly and efficiently putting together a structure that looked beyond the current incumbent. The promotion of Freddie Ljunberg to assistant coach, the introduction of Edu as Director of Football and Per […]
‘A Seminal Moment at the Crossroads’ Any day now it’s about to happen. The Arsenal board will arrive at the crossroads. They have to decide. Most certainly a seminal moment in our recent history. Even though this game was the least important (finally a fun fest for the fans), it once again exposed Emery. We […]
“We are all humans, we all have emotions, and sometimes it’s not easy dealing with them. It’s time to lift each other up, not to push each other away. We only win when we are together.“ These fantastic words are just a well constructed, diplomatic and compassionate way of trying to help, to defuse and […]
‘The Unnecessary Self Destruction of Unai Emery’ I wonder if anyone in Unai Emery’s circle will ever sit him down and tell him the truth. As and when he leaves Arsenal somebody needs to tell him that he blew up his own birthday party. Last Spring many wanted a rest from Arsenal. In a short […]
‘Pepe lays a rug on Madface’ Sliding doors moment for Nicholas Pepe and Unai Emery?? For the first 70 minutes I was wondering if Emery’s last real positive was slipping away. We’ve been very good in the EL and yet again we were poor AND poor and losing. Not only has Pepe’s two moments of […]
Our record signing Nicolas Pepe got the win here, with two wonderfully executed free-kicks at the death. But overall, it was another limp performance. Yes, we won, and we should be happy with that. And Vitoria Guimaraes was not here to lie down or be the accessory. They pressed us well and passed well through our midfield. However, […]
