We take on Liverpool today and I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic going into this one. I have watched Klopp’s side dismantle Bournemouth away, with a 4-0 spanking. This was Liverpool’s fourth successive away win by 3 or more goals (4-1 vs West Ham, 3-0 vs Stoke, 5-1 vs Brighton and now 4-0 vs Bournemouth), […]
Is Wenger changing? The stereotype of Wenger, at least before this season, has been: A (formerly) great manager A manager who seldom ever changes his team to suit the opposition A manager who cannot motivate his players for the big games A manager who believes that tactics is moot, and that sexy football conquers all […]
Should we be surprised (or upset) if Ozil and Sanchez don’t renew their contracts? I don’t think so. And here’s why… Traditionally, players signed for Arsenal because it was a step up for them. Or because they held a lifelong dream to play for the Gunners. Neither is the case for our two want-away stars. […]
Liverpool 4-0 Arsenal Premier League – Anfield – 27th August 2017 Well, well, well…. What the hell was that?! That stunk. That hurt. That was pathetically abominable. From a Liverpool standpoint, this is an excellent performance. They bossed it from start to finish, and looked sharper in attack, midfield, and in defence looked surprisingly strong. […]
Premier League (and Arsenal) fans are in for a shock this season. I honestly believe that 2017/18 is going to upset a lot of people. Any sense of entitlement will be severely challenged. “We’re a big club so we deserve to win the league” is a thing of the past. The EPL is traditionally dominated […]
Good day, fellow Gooners! I hope you had an excellent Christmas & New Year break and enjoyed the encouraging wins against West Brom and Crystal Palace. It must be said that we weren’t at our best in terms of performance and quality of our football but those six points did a lot of good; it’s […]
My interest in football articles and in particular those associated with Arsenal was drawn to a number of articles in which the common subjects appeared to be praise for Wenger for the performance of the current team and severe criticism for the ineptitude of Man Utd`s recent managers. Kroenke in particular remarked on the difficulty […]
A tale of two clubs. Chelsea and Arsenal. What is the difference between them and us? 8 top division league titles. That’s right. We have won it a respectable 13 times and Chelsea have won it only 5 times. Albeit we have won it less number of times in the Premier League era than them but […]
I have read the excellent articles by Petits Ponytail, Alex Baguzin and Timothy Hargreaves and this contribution is designed to augment them rather than to try to improve upon them. The one by Timothy was predictive and was written pre the Liverpool match and that is the cue for my lead in. Just before the game […]
Ethical – definition – relating to moral principles It’s August 6th and Maureen is off already. Apparently it is ‘unethical’ to comment on United’s worse kept secret of spending £100m to RE-SIGN Paul Pogba from Juve. Arsene stated that the valuation of the ex United youngster was ‘completely crazy’ and Klopp has been reported as […]
