Not a great week for Arsenal and it is better for all our minds to say as little as possible about it. However there were two big positives from those disappointing results to Watford and Barcelona: Alex Iwobi and Elneny. I was extremely impressed by Iwobi during our FA Cup run this year but there […]
So, we started out cup defence campaign successfully on Saturday, having dispatched Sunderland 3-1. It was, I think, a thoroughly enjoyable viewing for the neutrals and even Arsenal fans might have relaxed a little bit in the latter stages, after the Gunners went 2 up. Let’s shoot straight to the points of interest then. Team […]
Welcome to the New Year. Our Festive merry-go-round draws to a close with a game against Newcastle and this is the part where I cherish we haven’t progressed further in the Carling Cup. Yes, the manner in which we crashed out was nasty and I certainly wouldn’t want Arsenal to lose on purpose so that the […]
It was such a refreshing performance. It’s a beautiful life folks. Manchester City have done us a favour by drawing with Leicester because that means we are top of the Premier League at the start of 2016 and that City are 3 points off the pace completely. I wonder what might have been if we […]
If any of you were thinking about a nice festive period with absolutely no surprises, then I’m sorry for you guys. Just like me you have been done in by Arsenal Football Club and its promises of being top. No problem though because that Mahrez bloke goes up against Manchester City today and I dare […]
The game was approaching a half-hour mark when I started having serious misgivings about Arsenal winning it. An opening 15-minute period of Arsenal’s sterile possession gave way to a 15-minute period of City’s sterile possession and then Arsenal seized control of the ball once more. But nothing was happening still. 31st minute came and were […]
Quite unexpectedly (for me, first of all) I made it in time for the game. That’s due to my missing out on Cumberbetch’s “Hamlet”. For those of you interested, someone here came up with a brilliant idea to broadcast the play on a big screen, in cinemas. And sell tickets, naturally. So my friend proposed […]
Our Co-Editor Dave Seager did an intervuew with Salut Sunderland ahead of this weekend’s clash so we asked if they would return the favour. Since the last time I wrote a ‘View from the Opponents’ feature, a lot has happened in the world of Arsenal. We’ve seen some injuries, Wenger’s disastrous 1000th game at the […]
This game can be summed up with a phrase “it was one of those games”. Everything went against us. We’ve made some uncharacteristic individual errors, were not helped in the slightest by Clattenburg and, basically, looked doomed to lose the game especially after missing the penalty. I’m not inclined to blame the manager for this […]
So, after a two-week international borefest (made worse tenfold by the events in Paris), the real football is back. The players are returning, none of ours seem to do so in pieces and the next break is four months away. Four months of uninterrupted football at club level. The weekend will kick off with Watford […]
