Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea – Premier League Review After the West Ham defeat, we made the Sarri’s side (and himself!) pretty blue. This was a performance of intensity, pressure, pressing, and clinical finishing, and against another top-six side to boot. As a must-win game for our top four hopes, we did win, and how, based on […]
The Return of Rhythm? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES This season, and even during the unbeaten run, I was very concerned at the lack of big chances we were creating. Perhaps the constant formation changes and line ups have been responsible? Today we created 9 big chances in the second half! So the question becomes….. how […]
Whether Arsène Wenger stays or goes at the end of the 2017/18 season, it is likely to be a very busy transfer window at the Emirates Stadium this summer. Targeting just two or three players won’t be sufficient if Arsenal are to rid themselves of the dead wood that will see them miss out on […]
It is nice to be sitting in this chair and writing about a 3rd straight win. Even two weeks ago I wouldn’t have backed Arsenal to do something like this, yet here we are, with the Gunners emphatically proving me wrong. That two of those wins were crucial to our progression in the Europa League, […]
Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Matchday 29 Amex Stadium It’s more negativity here. Since we lost away. Again. We actually started off well, at least within the first 10 minutes or so. We had some chances via Ozil and Wilshere, but then we conceded a soft goal from a set piece. The […]
Well before the game I knew we were the underdogs for the final. I’ve seen City play countless times this season, and I knew they can be a handful for just about anyone. Our only slim hopes of beating them rested on defensive discipline and piling pressure on their fullbacks. Even so it was obvious […]
With the long awaited and much anticipated news that Pierre Eric Aubameyang is on his way, barring any last minute hitches, to North London we have asked our regular Gunners Town writers and contributors to consider how he will fit in. Where does PEA’s arrival potentially leave or previous record signing. Alexandre Lacazette and how […]
It seems not so long ago we have played Palace away in that crazy 3-2 win … And indeed it wasn’t that long ago, just a day over three weeks back. You do get those reverse fixtures around New Year. Chelsea, for instance, are facing Brighton for the second time in a matter of weeks. […]
Antonio Conte’s men visit the Emirates today, and somehow I feel even less optimistic about our chances to come out on top than before the Liverpool game. In part this feeling is down to the turgid performance we produced at the Hawthorns, in part because our growing injury list restricts Wenger’s options. Also, there’s that […]
The Gunners managed to eke out their third away win of the season yesterday, ending Palace’s unbeaten run streak in the process. I never expected the game to be easy, we have been culpable of complicating our lives unnecessarily away from home, so I’m grateful for the win. However I cannot quite grasp the words […]
