If I were a neutral, or a fan of some mid-table PL club, who only casually follows Arsenal by means of checking the results, I would be astonished this morning. How can top-level club, seemingly fighting for the top 4, smash Palace 4-1 and then go down to Swansea inside 10 days? How can that […]
Upcoming matches against Tottenham conjure up a unique reaction, a simultaneous feeling of overwhelming nausea and excitement. The only thing I feel it is comparable to is first talking to a girl you “like” during your adolescent years–that perfect blend of anxiety shaped by the possibility of enduring both agony and ecstasy. It needs to […]
Another incredible weekend of Barclays action just gone, which as usual was short on actual quality but long indeed on drama. I’d like to talk about Spurs if I may. As an Arsenal fan it’s difficult to have an opinion on them without being called biased or one eyed, and that’s often very true, tribalism […]
Power shift? Only in Poch’s engine transmission, little else… I’m still buzzing over our glorious win vs. that lot. But then this power shift nonsense has made me think. Compared to 10/15 years ago, yes – we and they are pretty much on a keel. On the pitch, at least. Off the pitch, we still […]
Thriving in adverse environment is sometimes made possible by the siege mentality. It’s the world against you, so will you put your hands up and surrender or will you mount a fightback? It’s a very simple notion, one that can be encapsulated in a phrase: “sod everyone, I will do it”. Arsenal took the latter […]
Arsenal 2-0 Tottenscum Premier League Review Yes! We beat the Scum, and about time too. The club that hasn’t won a trophy since 2008. The club that has not won the FA Cup since 1991. The club that has NEVER won the Premier League The club that believes it’s bigger than us, despite having far […]
Am I mad not to fear Tottenham??? This is kind of like a preview-preview, so to speak. It’s still a little while before we play that lot, but as a Gooner I detest that lot with a passion. So I’m relaying something I’ve been thinking of late. For now, I want to ask this. Am […]
Hi everyone. Another gameweek is looming large, and you have one more day to tinker with your fantasy squad. That means looking back on the last gameweek, the fixtures to come, and assessing your best options in different areas. Starting with… Forwards If the last week taught us anything, it’s that Aguero is still a […]
Up until this season I wasn’t at all involved with Fantasy Premier League. However a lucky combination of a piece of advice from a friend and a certain boredom at the start of the season provided the perfect storm. And so here I am, 4 gameweeks into the season, feeling a need to vent my […]
Tottenham is the enemy. Always has been; always will be. It will take sustained success as well as actual trophies in their cabinet, however, before there can be a sensible conversation about a “power shift”. That being said, it’s not against the rules to respect your enemy and see things from its perspective. I would […]
