The Arsenal of the past 9 seasons reared its ugly head on Saturday. We dominated the game with 72% possession , 592 completed passes, 11 shots and a 2-1 defeat. To rub sodium chloride in the gaping hole, the Baggies only managed 1 shot on target and still scored 2 goals!!!! Here’s hoping this is […]
There are only so many games where you can spot the spectacular and Bayern was one of those games where the spectacular was coming from the opposition, which is why there was no post from me on that game. The Spurs game seemed to be going the same way and after the first half I […]
Having watched Arsenal get overrun against the Bavarian machine Bayern Munich and those pesky spuds from N17 in the space of five days has left me with a feeling of anxiousness and confusion about our ability to perform when it matters. The feeling of anxiousness comes from seeing our central midfield axis of Santi and […]
18 months ago, according to many, Joel Nathaniel Campbell Samuels was the man, the man to save The Arsenal. . Off the back of a decent World Cup, there were calls to fast track him into the first team to replace Giroud and/or Sanogoals up front to spearhead Arsenal’s attack. Again, he was overlooked and […]
In the aftermath of a dream shattering series of four goals scored, FOUR conceded in a combined square up against Liverpool (1-1) and Tottenham (3-3) within FOUR days in April 2011, Arsenal were once again greeted with a campaign that flirted with title success, following FOUR months of sublime attacking football, literally between December 2010 […]
Oh he already has! It has been a very strange opening 3 months of the campaign with some amazing results and some dreadful ones. We have been stunned into disbelief both negatively and positively by our team’s performances, most strikingly in the space of five days with our last two outings. Is the team […]
I know this isn’t 4Chan. Or 9Gag. Or ebaumsworld. But posting these pics on those sites would go down like a lead balloon. So I’m posting them here, in the hope that they inspire you to put Coq in his rightful (elevated/superior) place. I’ve included the transparent Coq cutout at the bottom of this post so […]
With our beloved Gunners in pretty mixed form thus far this season I’ve refrained from writing. There being so many problems and seemingly no solutions to get the boys to click and every Tom Dick and Harry’s angle and thoughts are there to read. There is the midfield balance, the lack of a top striker […]
Howdy. Had a busy couple of days, hence there was no fully-fledged Spurs review from me. Well, there was no review at all, to be exact. Seeing as now our next game is on Saturday already and the last was on Wednesday, I’m now facing the prospect of trying to cram both the review of […]
So, it’s a North London derby in the first round of the Capitol One Cup to keep us entertained. For the last couple of years we have persistently been getting rather tough opponents in the opening rounds of both cups: Southampton last year and Chelsea before that in CoC, Hull and Spurs in FA Cup. All […]
