Chelsea 3-1, Bayern Munich 5-1. As an Arsenal fan, I hate February! How crazy is it to be an Arsenal fan, especially after 2006? You get stick from everyone around you, some people who don’t even know Arsene Wenger come up and tell you “Wenger out” because of some idiot like Adrian Durham. To be […]
. There is nothing more telling than having rival supporters taunt you, by singing songs about wanting your manager to stay. After another visit to Stamford Bridge resulted in yet another defeat, it came as no surprise to hear choruses of “Arsene Wenger, we want you stay” reverberating around the stadium. Sadly, the defeat itself […]
Saturday the 4th February 2017 was the day for the first time in my life, since I can remember when I woke up on the day of an Arsenal match and I had no fervour or sense of excitement for a match. Now keep in mind I’m forever the dreamer when it comes to football […]
I agree with Andrea Rosati from his piece on Wednesday that we are now in a position where Wenger has to make 100% correct tactical decisions beginning with Chelsea. Conte has Chelsea playing to a system, which the team understands, and he has fitted all his square pegs into square holes. The key to his […]
Tonight’s visit of Watford is intriguing for many reasons but none of them really involve the Hornets. This is a team that could not even muster a performance to send of the late Graham Taylor at home so are not likely to threaten and in form Gunners at the Emirates. No this evening is all […]
Well Gooners, let’s tackle it straight away: Granit Xhaka is a hot tempered lad. He is very passionate, he has a proper fighting spirit and he doesn’t hide when things heat-up. Yet, it doesn’t mean he’s a liability to the team and someone always on the verge of being given the marching orders. It’s been […]
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Just when the game seemed to have settled into a calm pattern of Arsenal keeping Burnley at arm’s length whilst 1-0 up, Granit Xhaka and Jonathan Dross injected a little variety into the proceedings. The inevitable rollercoaster followed, but, mercifully, we managed to come out on top, if only […]
In the immediate aftermath of our defeat to Everton, I read a summary of the game on a social media site, that I couldn’t have worded any better myself. It said simply; “it might be nearly Christmas but we can’t afford to be giving away these type of presents” and the author of the comment, […]
Ramsey. We want you to succeed, do it for us…. Aaron Ramsey is an enigma. He has proven quality. Look at the 13/14 season, winning the FA cup, and performing well in Euro 2016. But has he done it enough? And is criticism of him valid, or warranted? Since then, he has not performed as […]
The words “at least we didn’t lose” have been used far too regularly by some Arsenal supporters, following last Sunday’s draw with Spurs. Should we not all be disappointed that we failed to win the game rather than be relieved that we didn’t lose it? Prior to kick off, we had won ten of our […]
