After the international break we return to the excitement of the Premier League with a short away trip to Vicarage Road, to face an out-of-sorts Watford, minus talisman Deeney but with a new manager. It would be fair to say that Arsenal have found the Hornets troublesome of late having been stung by them home […]
I am delighted to say that Guendouzi was most people’s man of the match. I have previously cautioned some fans who were trumpeting his skills because he had many faults caused by naivety and lack of experience. I did say though that he was a future star in the making. If he produces this quality […]
Newcastle United vs. Arsenal preview FIRST PL GAME OF THE SEASON Sunday 11th August 2019 So it’s the first game of the season, and pre-season is done. Some mixed results occurred here, but with a common theme of good attacking play and crap defending. However, the club is in a strong state both […]
Arsenal vs. Chelsea – Europa League Final Preview So the final is upon us. We’re in Azerbaijan, and the talk of Mkhitaryan not going, fans’ travel costs, and why Azerbaijan was even chosen, now comes all to a head. THE Arsenal is facing off with Chelsea, for the Europa League. Our first European final […]

I was watching the game last night and suddenly I was struck by the absent headline of the ‘New Arsenal.’ It was just after AMN confidently breezed past Insigne on […]
I agree with Dave`s analysis of the Watford match. In contrast, against Everton, I regretfully strongly disagreed with Marble Halls preview and particularly his selection for the game as he suggested Guendouzi and Elneny should play. I suppose that is why Football is such a fertile ground for diverse opinions. Surely the performance and the […]
The business end of the season starts here. After an exciting international break, if you are an England fan, the Premier League returns and there is so much to play for still for so many teams. I think there are only two or three teams with nothing to play for really. You could argue that […]
Arsenal strengthen chances of a top four finish There is little doubt that the main aim for Emery at the start of the season was to ensure the club is playing Champions league football next season. The Gunners can still qualify through the Europa league and recently secured their progression to the next round following […]
Arsenal vs. Stade Rennais – Europa League preview (1-3 agg) After the United win, we have another tough task in this 2nd leg of the Round of 16. Rennes bossed us up at their place, though their efforts were boosted by our failings. Some good news here is that Lacazette is available, as […]
‘Balance, Belief, Better…… Buzzing!’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Balance Squad balance and in-game balance doesn’t come quickly and we are impatient. Have you noticed that it may well have arrived? Amongst the litany of change on and off the field it has been lost that Arsenal have a very balanced squad, age wise. I looked […]
