A game of no risk POSITIVES, NEEDS and RIP-OFF LEADS You’ve had time to breathe. I haven’t. I write this pretty raw after a game I did not see coming. I predicted 5-0 and actually felt pretty sure of myself. Arsenal had many layers of momentum and West Ham had the opposite of momentum, […]
Episode 23 “Gunners Town Pub – Fulham 0-3 Arsenal” Chris, Mike, Paul and Gav meet immediately after the game in the Gunners Town (Virtual) Pub to discuss Arsenal’s inspiring season opener. Plenty to discuss regarding the team selection, and obviously lots to be pleased about with new Gunners Willian and Gabriel excelling on their debut. […]
Ask the readers… Part 2 Many thanks for the reaction to Part 1. Here it is if you haven’t read it… Here is Part 2….. Predicted line up? The whole squad isn’t visible here, but this is my guess at what Arteta wants. If we make all the sales we want to, this is […]
Very few people know more about the French league than Robin Bairner of goal.com @Rbairner. His information and analysis of Arsenal latest Brazilian acquisition; Gabriel Magalhaès can thus be regarded as valuable and reliable. This and many others were the reasons why I had an interview with him to get the lowdown on the Brazilian centre […]
I’m not sure about you guys, but the last week, the Wembley success and the aftermath have caused me considerable reflection on exactly what Mikel Arteta is doing at my club, and what it might mean in the short and medium term. That reflection has drawn me to an inescapable conclusion: one which surprised […]
It has been impossible to get away from the excitement around the signing of Gabriel Magalhaes. As a fanbase, Gooners certainly don’t make it easy to disconnect: tracking planes, pulling traffic feeds, the works. Beyond the more fringe craziness though, it is easy to see why a lot is anticipated and expected. There is no […]
The 3 year plan As ever, there has been a small bucketful of Arsenal news and rumours every day this summer. By far the most interesting and insightful piece of Arsenal news has been washed over. I think it’s the core of Mikel Arteta’s plan. Five days ago a journalist asked Willian what persuaded him […]
We are fortunate today to have a full translation of our Skipper’s interview from GT’s ‘Man in France’ @Grooverblog Vincent Fabres On the fact he’s the manager‘s most used player since his move to Arsenal in 2010 I think I learn through the years that alongside the training there is also the background: preparation, […]
Arsene has demonstrated that he’s learned nothing from mistakes made in previous campaigns. I’m disappointed and frustrated but sadly, not surprised. However, despite being called ‘negative’ by some of our more ‘positive’ supporters, I take no enjoyment from saying “I told you so”. I would take plenty from Arsene proving me wrong though. Unfortunately, he […]
I thought I’d rehash my usual format of complete chaos for this year’s season review. Let me know in the comments whether the new one works. Albeit it’ll be a full year before I change my ways again if it doesn’t! So, without further ado, I give you… 5 hallmarks of the campaign Arsenal end […]
