In the aftermath of a dream shattering series of four goals scored, FOUR conceded in a combined square up against Liverpool (1-1) and Tottenham (3-3) within FOUR days in April 2011, Arsenal were once again greeted with a campaign that flirted with title success, following FOUR months of sublime attacking football, literally between December 2010 […]

The Evening the Arsenal Grew Up in Europe – Defensive masterclass and counter attack!
“If I have learned anything during these past few weeks, it’s that we can adapt to opponents. We can hit them from the off like a hurricane (the normal one, not that overgrown Draco Malfoy version), we can play sterile possession to tire them out, or we can just set up two banks of four […]
Reports today that Thomas Muller is still trying to get out of Monreal’s pocket
An unsung hero delivers once again – Nacho I salute you A victory to remember, a night like few others for Arsenal, the night we stopped what seemed to be an unstoppable Bayern Munich machine and reminded the world that we can compete with the elite in Europe. Oh and it’s also worth mentioning that […]
Ramsey back central and Ox on the right to unlock a slow United Defence
Morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s United we have to deal with today and once again I find myself searching for imperative adjectives which will demonstrate how we need a win. However, this time we need a win mostly for psychological reasons. Sure, City thrashed Newcastle yesterday (with a little help from Sergio Aguero), but dropping […]
Stoke, Zagreb, Giroud, Arteta and Chelsea up next – The Arsenal week in perspective
Stoke I never felt that Stoke were a threat last weekend, partly because they have a terrible record against us at the Emirates, but mostly because they were without two of their best players in Affelay & Adam, whilst Bojan still doesn’t seem to have recovered from his injury last year and didn’t start the […]
Zagreb game gives Arsene an opportunity to try out new tactics. Will he be inclined to do it, though?
Ready for a rumble, Gunners? Yesterday’s game proved that the Champions League could be even more surprising than the Premier League – with Manchester City losing at home to Juventus and Manchester United defeated by PSV. Tonight’s game against Dinamo Zagreb will tell a lot about our guys and their mental strength, because we have […]
It is what it Is! – Don’t lose your excitement in this squad and their togetherness due to lack of signings
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 […]
He’s a Boy who can do anything – The Rise of Hector and the balance he gives Arsenal
Just how important has Bellerin become to Arsenal? Sometimes in football player’s progress at a good pace, sometimes they progress even quicker and in the case of Hector Bellerin they progress at a similar pace to our young Spanish right backs sprint speed – just to be clear that’s rather quick. If we cast our […]
The Morning after the Night before – More Squad questions than answers Monsieur Wenger?
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 […]
Koscielny on track to return and partner Gabriel as Gunners look to secure a vital away win
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 […]
