“A superb attacking performance by Arsenal today, and as the full time whistle at the Emirates is blown, Arsenal four, Leicester two.” The jubilation around the Emirates when the full time whistle was blown was something non-existent in recent years. In a time when we had 0 goals last year, the Gunners have racked up […]
Arsenal need strikers. It’s not rocket science. Both Manchester City and Liverpool comfortably surpassed 90 goals over a 38-game Premier League season. Meanwhile, in north London, the Gunners merely scraped over the 60-goal mark, a substantial difference when compared to the elite. To suggest Arsenal can increase their tally by an additional third is unrealistic, […]
So much work to do in this summer window I was looking at our squad sheet on the back of yesterday’s match programme and started to tot up how many players we’d have for next season and it adds up to Arsenal having to do as much as they did in the last summer window […]
This article first appeared on Gunners Town at the end of last year – but quite a bit has happened since then… Lacazette’s goals have completely dried up, as have his assists. He’s made some comments in the press about being open to offers from other clubs and wanting to play Champions League football. (How […]
Anyone who knows me or reads my articles will know that I am an admirer of Mikel Arteta but even the best coaches get tactics and decisions wrong. On a lucky day the odd poor call may not cost your team, or you may have time in a match to readjust or even reverse a […]
The game didn’t start at 4:05pm POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES It’s not too late. It seems like it is, but it’s not. The situation and our push for Champions League football is still possible even though it seems like we are throwing it away. What has been too late however, is how our coach and […]
It has been an excellent season for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side to this point. The Gunners were widely mocked after the opening weeks of the season, as they sat bottom of the Premier League, and jokes were made that relegation could be on the cards. However, very few opposing fans are laughing now, […]
The fruits of patience We are now in a position where our relationship with Arsene Wenger can be purely romantic. We don’t have to remember the frustrations. We can rewind to the first 10 years and see his legacy with the fog of the recent past subsided. We remember not only the titles but how […]
This article originally appeared on Gunners Town a month ago – but considering Arteta’s recent comments. we thought it would be timeous to repost. What to do up front..? The age old question this season that confronts Arteta on a weekly basis and divides opinions amongst our ever present online fanbase. Lacazette, Aubameyang, Nketiah. […]
An Accidental Benefit POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES At half time yesterday I had written down five potential headlines for this blog all about our obvious need to be able to create clear-cut chances. We had recorded more chances in one half than anybody else in the Premier league this season. Apart from Lacazette‘s disallowed […]
