Not a great week for Arsenal and it is better for all our minds to say as little as possible about it. However there were two big positives from those disappointing results to Watford and Barcelona: Alex Iwobi and Elneny. I was extremely impressed by Iwobi during our FA Cup run this year but there […]
Tonight we are facing arguably the best defensive midfielder in Europe – and 7-times Dive of the Year award winner – Sergio Busquets. I hate to write this but he’s the prototype of the player we’re missing at the moment: extremely comfortable with both feet, well disciplined and aware of his positioning, tidy on the […]
Well, we didn’t really expect anything else did we? I have read a lot of tweets today and they vary between blaming Wenger and berating the players to applause for our performance for 70 mins and even slight praise from Alex. Alex as always is optimistic, and short of the Emirates being swallowed by a […]
Courtesy of Shoot Magazine for whom I write a 2 weekly column I was fortunate enough to be at the match as their reporter so I will be stepping in for Alex our usual match reviewer as he is on holiday. There was some surprise when the team news showed Gabriel retaining his place alongside […]
After midweek wins for Leicester, Spurs and the two Manchester clubs, our disappointing draw with Southampton felt like a defeat. Whilst there will undoubtedly be a few more twists and turns in the title race, a paltry return of just three points from the last twelve on offer, coupled with the knowledge of difficult away […]
This was an Arsenal performance of contrasts. There was much to admire but anxieties remain that we will fall short of our number one goal – the Premier League.

Another Arsenal win in the bag, another sigh of relief at the final whistle. It wasn’t the most convincing win, nor was it the most unconvincing either. There were moments of Arsenal possession and domination whilst creating some chances; there was some purpose in the Gunners’ play till the first goal. Burnley’s equalizer was, of […]
Only at The Arsenal !!! Injuries are a way of life at The Arsenal, Diaby, Wilshire, Ramsey have all had extended stints on the sidelines, via various causes, but never by one of our own. Le Coq has just returned from a two month sabbatical and was looking not far off his best alongside Elneny, […]
“The Arsenal medical staff are interfering with transfers.” As a headline that is pretty damning, suggesting that the medical staff are deliberately affecting the transfer business of Arsene Wenger. That’s not the truth, but it’s a half truth. Arsene Wenger confirmed in December that more than one signing was likely. A few weeks later it […]
This season, more than any other, the game is well and truly afoot. We are the best team in the land for the first time in over a decade and in the driving seat for the title. However there are two main obstacles in our way staring us in the face. One is the age-old […]
