Winning the games “we should win”, and the new red card laws explained in detail Another week, another two wins. This is becoming something of a habit now isn’t it? Not bad after an international break either. I feel the need to apologise in advance for the amount of quotation marks in this week’s […]
Following Granit “The Rock” Xhaka red vs Swansea and Arsene’s comments: “It looked harsh to me butut it was a deliberate foul. It looked a dark yellow – and the referee went for a bright red. I have heard on the grapevine that Wenger is proposing a new card system to FIFA called “Wenger’s Inferno” […]
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Kidding, kidding. It was gut-wrenching, nail-baiting and hair-raising, but we held on in the end. Despite atrocious refereeing, Xhaka’s idiocy and Swansea’a resilience. Each of these three factors could have cost us, indeed I can name a handful of occasions when below-par refereeing, one individual’s mistakes or opposition’s stubborn […]
Howdy. Premier League action finally returns and with it does the actual football. This weekend promises to be very exciting for neutrals, as Chelsea take on Leicester in an early kick-off on Saturday, City face Everton on Sunday and United go to Anfield to try and slow down Klopp’s men. Oh, there’s also the small […]
As the 93rd minute was ticking away, I was thinking of how great a last-minute winner could be. This unique feeling of snatching the win when the draw is staring you in the face. Nothing compares to it. The guys behind me in the pub were having a good time, mostly because they were watching […]
Hello fellow Gooners! I’m replacing Alex – supposedly busy , I believe he’s still recovering from the amazing 3-0 win in his first-ever match at the Emirates Stadium – to preview for you the Champions League game against Swiss champions FC Basel. I’ve been living in Switzerland for almost nine years now and I’m slowly […]
As you probably know, yesterday was the first game I attended live. And boy what a good game that was. I wasn’t able to write a preview because of the whole “changing countries” thing, but if did, I would have to mention our atrocious record against Chelsea. We last won a game against the Blues […]
So we arrive at game number 6 sitting fourth on 10 points ahead of today’s opponents on goal difference. Suffice to say even at this early stage of the campaign the Arsenal v Chelsea fixture is as significant as ever. Arsenal are in form, have positive selection decisions to make, are at home and are […]
DB’s Season Diary – Part 2 Right then, there’s been a whole lot of Arsenal going on since we last spoke, so I think the best thing is to do what Wayne Rooney does when he sees a Post Office queue on pension day and just get stuck straight into it…… Last week saw us […]
3 wins in a row. Three actual football matches Arsenal have won, putting 9 very real points in the bank. I think I can get used to it. With time. Jokes aside, though, we’ve shown some very good football yesterday. Both 11v11 and then of course 11v10. We’ve screwed up moments either side of […]
