THE GAME CHANGERS vs THE SLEEPING PILLS Arsenal have two opposites going on. They have not only reinforced the attack, they have reinvigorated it with top class, youth, athleticism, speed and a new directness. I was fooled in the first half. We looked like we might replicate the big score line the last time we […]
The 10th rendition of the Emirates Cup returns this year after absence in 2018. The new tournament, which also features Arsenal women for the inaugural time, starts on Sunday. Arsenal returned from their American tour on Wednesday after three wins and a defeat. Two 3-0 victories against Colorado Rapids and Fiorentina respectively and also a […]
888sport recently spoke with former Arsenal striker Jérémie Aliadière, who played under Arsene Wenger for six years and was touted to be the next wonderkid of his generation. Aliadière provided his thoughts on Arsenal’s transfer activity (or lack of) this summer and commented on the development of some of their young talent such as Ainsley […]
‘…..AND THEN I PUT MY GOGGLES ON’ Do you have anything in your football world that you really don’t understand? I do. I don’t understand fans that think friendlies are pointless or that pre-season is just for fitness. From my vantage point friendlies are for making BIG decisions about the upcoming season and who stays […]
Arsenal ended their tour of America with a 3-2 penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid in Washington. The Gunners dominated early on and lead 2-0 through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Lacazette but were dominated in the second half and goals from Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio brought it back. Robbie Burton’s penalty miss ensured the […]
For Arsenal fans, victory on Wednesday evening is all that will matter. A European trophy, a return to the Champions League and a significant influx of cash that will hopefully give Emery the tools to rebuild and restructure a somewhat dysfunctional squad will be significant reward for what has been at times an underwhelming season. […]
Arsenal player reviews 18/19 So the PL season has ended, and it’s time to review the players’ performances. Our star strikers, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, have received wide plaudits this season. Auba won the Premier League Golden Boot, shared with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. Bernd Leno has been an […]
Valencia 2-4 Arsenal (3-7 agg.) Europa League Semi-Final We’re in the final. El jefe could get FOUR Europa League titles. And we’ve shown our good friends that we too can reach a European final. And it’s our first European final since the 2006 Champions League defeat to Barca. And both legs followed a similar pattern. […]
I shared the feelings of optimism tempered by pessimistic thoughts described in Mike McDonald`s excellent article and unfortunately, the pessimism has come to the fore. We need to beat Chelsea now (provided we beat Valencia ) to get into the Championship League and in present form Chelsea must be favourites because while Arsenal have stagnated, […]
Arsenal 1-1 Brighton and Hove Albion Premier League review Top four has gone, and given the recent state of affairs, this won’t be a very positive review. We have made some progress this season, both on and off the pitch, but we still hold some major issues that need rectification. Most of us […]
