Initially I had no intention of writing the review. Not because I was fuming at the result (I was, though), but because the game was lost courtesy of a highly incompetent Dean. Why write about something so trivial and done to death already? I mean, how many times can we say Mike Dean was horrible? […]
Our first big game of the season has finally arrived and it’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This will probably sound smug, especially in the light of our midweek demoralising defeat, but I don’t think we’ve been better suited to beat Chelsea in the league for a long time. The reason is simple: their atrocious form. […]
I’ll start my review with two simple facts: Jack Butland would be my MoM if I could have voted him. The man made 10 saves. That’s more than Petr Cech against Liverpool (8). If you can’t enjoy the win and the performance because Arsenal were quite profligate again (or for any other reason), I suggest […]
I struggled to think this week. Arsenal news and events were limited by an International break, and with the transfer window closed, gossip has been temporarily restrained as well. It is currently Thursday evening, and up until this point I have failed to think of a sensible topic to address in this column, so have […]
It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]
When the line-ups were announced ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Newcastle last Saturday, a bizarre feeling swept through me. It wasn’t the glaringly obvious omission of Mesut Ozil that caused a stir in my mind, nor was it the selection of Theo Walcott as the side’s spearhead. Instead, I found myself overwhelmed by a huge […]
Hi All, I had to write this for cathartic reasons!! So, the transfer window light has been flicked off and we are shufflling out of the other side blinking, squinting and staring into the new dawn. On the face of it, Arsenal have a nice, solid looking squad of twenty six. Goalkeepers – Cech, Ospina and presumably […]
We face Newcastle today and, once again, we badly need to win the game. It’s kind of funny to be in such a position 3 games in, but our less than spectacular start ensured we need a second away win in a row. Interestingly enough, we have a very good record away from home: 6 […]
Arsenal Football Club invited IPL and and Essex cricketers, Ravi Bopara and Ryan ten Doeschate to the Arsenal Training Ground to take part in a cricket challenge earlier this month. The cricket duo taught newcomers to the sport David Ospina and Gabriel how to bowl, before taking part in a bowling competition. Each side bowled […]
Liverpool I won’t spend long talking about the Liverpool game because it’s already been covered superbly by some of my fellow GT writers. We started badly and we were lucky not to be down by a couple of goals at half time, but unlucky to have had a perfectly good goal disallowed. I felt that […]
