Howdy. Stupid of me to say that today. We got Bayern Munich again, can’t be too many fans feeling particularly well. I know I don’t. But maybe that has something to do with the first day of work experience on top of a morning exam … Anyhow, we did indeed land ourselves the German giants […]
I have not been around much nor have I written much but since my interview with the Bournemouth blogger about Wilshere, Jack had been on my mind. Yesterday I noted he had played 5 consecutive 90 minutes in the Premier League for the first time in 4 years, apparently. Today I heard the AFC Bournemouth […]
I have to admit I was starting to forget how good a comprehensive win feels. Think our last win happened back in October, when we thrashed Ludogorets. November has been pretty mean in terms of wins, let alone comfortable ones. But yesterday I was reminded of that feeling. After a pretty depressing showing in the […]
Howdy. We face West Ham at Upton Park today in what will provide us with a chance to make up ground on the three frontrunners. Liverpool don’t play until Sunday, while City and Chelsea play one another, which means at least one team will drop points. Alas, they can’t both drop points… The last meetings […]
Ramsey. We want you to succeed, do it for us…. Aaron Ramsey is an enigma. He has proven quality. Look at the 13/14 season, winning the FA cup, and performing well in Euro 2016. But has he done it enough? And is criticism of him valid, or warranted? Since then, he has not performed as […]
Today I feel a strong urge to just copy and paste chunks of text from my United review. Insipid performance? Check. Unbalanced midfield? Check. One shot on target? Check. Giroud on the scoresheet? Check. I don’t see in what way our performance vs PSG was any better than our performance vs United. In fact, I […]
I watched the Arsenal match on Saturday and a feeling of Deja Vu came over me. Can you have multiple Deja Vu? It is November, we are away to Man Utd, we are playing well and we are reasonably confident of the result. The teams came out and Wenger and Mourinho touched hands and ignored each […]
“I’m more focused on the fact that this is more than a derby. It’s an important game for us because it’s a big home game and we have an opportunity to show that we have an interesting role to play in this Premier League, and that we can win these kinds of games too.” – […]
Well the win over Sunderland was predictable, well, if it wasn’t Arsenal, enjoyable, if it wasn’t Arsenal and thought provoking as Arsenal performances always are. Even the apparently most routine victory, after a first half of taking a deserved lead, following after and preceding total dominance, gave the Arsenal supporters the obligatory period of concern […]
In the past I have been accused of being negative or having some form of personal agenda against Arsene Wenger. Accusations, that unsurprisingly, originate from supporters who wear rose-tinted spectacles where our manager is concerned. These are accusations that I strongly refute and would argue that perhaps it is those who choose to focus on […]
