Arsene Wenger, our most successful manager ever, left in 2018. Unai Emery couldn’t resolve the bad defending and weak mentality of the latter Wenger period, and he left in Nov. 2018. Ivan Gazidis, the former club CEO, is now Chief Executive at AC Milan. Arteta is now in, and thus far it’s OK. And the […]
We have our Arsenal back (part 2) – Internal restructuring is a way forward It’s true that the club is changing, and rectifying some of the negatives of the later Wenger era. And if we’re being fair, we are changing in a positive direction, both on and off the pitch. Concerning off the pitch specifically, there […]
The title isn’t meant to be disrespectful. But I’m indifferent really, and in some small measure disappointed. I have nothing against him and wish him well at his new club. Ivan Gazidis has issued the following message to the Arsenal fans, following his decision to leave the club — Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) September 18, 2018 […]
“We lived through many emotions together, the highs and the lows of football, and I am proud to be able to say that I gave this club and its fantastic people everything that I had in me.” Phhhh, Gazidis has gone, oh well, to be honest, I’m not that bothered. 10 years in charge and […]
The board and Gazidis, with the catalyst for change, are seemingly progressing. The change, as it stands, is apparently happening. Wenger, the great man, has gone. Wilshere has gone. New coaches are here. And new players are arriving. And we’re doing transfers early for a change, without any last minute rush. So it’s understandable that […]
This the second part in the welcoming of our new manager, Unai Emery. View Part 1 here. Here, I will see how he could solve our specific issues, and what we could expect from him in his first season. I must say that his press conference was well done. His English isn’t that bad, though […]
We now appear to be on the cusp of the Mikel Arteta era. Though the appointment of the Spaniard has not been confirmed, rumour is gathering pace aplenty. Of course, it may all be a smokescreen for a ‘bigger’ name, however unlikely that is increasingly looking. Odds with major bookies have gone from 20/1 last […]
You know that when half the fanbase is hoping for the game to be called off for whatever reason, while the other half is plotting to stay at home despite having the tickets, the footballing aspect of your team must be in dire state. And so it is, abundantly demonstrated by the game yesterday. Shortly […]
Arsenal in Crisis? On Crisis Firstly – let me say that crisis in and of itself is not a bad thing. Things fall apart all the time; Chaos is the natural order of our Universe. The word itself comes from the Greek word krisis (to decide). The Oxford dictionary defines crisis as: A time of […]
Richard Branson once said, “We are human beings, not human doings”. This is a great mantra for life, (and one I should personally follow a lot closer) but this doesn’t work for a football club. Just being a football club doesn’t cut it. You have to do as well and Arsenal Football Club are not […]
