Will Spurs save Arsenal?’ Positives, Needs and Hopes Sometimes other people’s boldness nudges others to action. If our board’s reason for not already firing Unai Emery is that they don’t want to be labelled by others in the game as impatient, then maybe they will be prompted by an unlikely source. There are different reasons […]
‘When Better is Average ‘ Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was the Arsenal board then yesterday’s game would have troubled me more than all the others. Why? I’d say that when you’ve had a group of miserable performances and then (finally) play better, even if it’s a little better, and you still […]
Today was another poor game for Arsenal. Crystal Palace is a club, for me at least, that I view as a feeder of some club legends (Ian Wright and Kenny Sansom) and duds (Eddie McGoldrick). I recall that Gilles Grimandi scored a wonder goal against them, on the way to us winning the 1998 Double. […]
Everything about today seems to suggest Emery and his Arsenal project have arrived at a pivotal watershed moment on Sunday 27th October 2019… The fans are restless and vocalised this in the home stadium this week The media are discussing Emery’s replacement His own fans are discussing his replacement His boss had Mourinho as a […]
I watched our match against Vitoria of Portugal. They are 4th in the Portuguese top league. Not a great pedigree, but good enough to lead us a merry dance for 80 mins when Pepe equalised their second goal. He then went on to score the winner with a last gasp free kick. That was a momentous […]

Manchester United vs. Arsenal PL Preview The battle of the (former) titans is due again. We haven’t won there in the league at least since 2006 – when a certain Mr. Adebayor scored the winner. The only other victory has been an FA Cup win on route to our triumph in 2015, when […]
When I was watching Watford batter us during an abysmal second half showing at Vicarage Road, I was heavily reminded by how we played Huddersfield away last season. That game was our first league win on the road in over two months. On the day we went 2-0 up after the first 45 minutes and […]
Tierney, Bellerin, Holding Will their arrival alone lead to better defending? Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, and Kieran Tierney are all young and promising defenders, who Arsenal haven’t had the time to bed in this season. Bellerin dipped a little in the past couple of seasons, though he stepped up before his injury at […]
As of now fans of all twenty clubs in the premier league can now rest easy (or uneasy depending on your view) with the transfer window officially closing. Moreover, to be honest, where are we all as fans fans happy? Sad? Relieved? Maybe a bit of everything? Either way a new focus is on. […]
