With the untimely injury to Alexandre Lacazette, Wenger is facing an unwanted situation. With Aubameyang being Europa League ineligible, combined with the sales of Giroud and Walcott, the simple fact is that Danny Welbeck is Arsenal’s only senior striking option for this Thursday. Indeed, the England International maybe the sole option, if we set aside […]
Will Wenger finally Embrace Europa League? There hasn’t been much buzz around the Europa League draw from Gunners fans. Perhaps the prospect of a freezing away trip to Östersunds in northern Sweden wasn’t welcomed with open arms like a trip to Milan or Bilbao would be. However, as most Arsenal fans have not been shy […]
So with last night begun a season (at least) of Thursday night football. With kick-off delayed an hour due to the issues with the Cologne supporters that descended on the capital, Arsenal laboured through a dreadful first half in which they played as if they were still waiting for the game to begin. A quick […]
Europa League Teams Preview In the wrestling world – the WWF – there is a championship belt called the Intercontinental title, it’s been deemed the secondary title in the company. Throughout history although viewed as a secondary title, it was also known as “the workers title”, in other words for all the steroid infused more-style-than-substance […]
I WANT THE europA LEAGUE Yes, I want to win it. I can hear it now: “You what?” “Europa League is shit!” “It’s BS, mate.” “It’s shit, bruv…” “Jose only cared about it cos of the Champions League, mate…” “It’s below us!” “It’s shameful!” “It’s a sign of failure.” “We should throw it, and […]
This will be similar to my League Cup article, and here, I will be explaining why I think Arsenal should not exclude the Europa League as one of their targets. The Europa League isn’t seen as a priority amongst many clubs, especially those that are in England. (Excluding Everton, maybe). Arsenal playing in Europe’s second […]
. Football can be a force for good and a force for bad and we saw both sides last night in Stockholm. In the pre-match line up there was respect for the City of Manchester – a football coming together with the two teams, United and Ajax, arms linked and heads bowed in a mark […]
The high of Arsenal’s brilliant performance at Stoke City on Saturday soon made way, at least in some quarters, on Sunday, when Liverpool eased to victory over a poor West Ham United side. Three points for the Reds effectively ended the Gunners hopes of playing Champions League football yet again next season, with only an extremely […]
Europa League it is, then. I know we are still in the race for a place in the top four but it’s extremely unlikely that either Liverpool or Manchester City will drop points in the final games, so the sooner we accept this demotion the better we will deal with it. I am not exactly […]
Why not the Europa League? I’m writing this just prior to the Man United home game. At the time of writing, we’re sixth in the table. It looks like, even if we do get top four, that our league position would be the worst in over twenty years. Certainly the worst in Wenger’s tenure that […]
