Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer. Things had started well, with Granit Xhaka’s acquisition from Borussia Monchengladbach in May an encouraging start, but the weeks of inactivity that followed seemed to indicate at best a gross incompetence with regards to transfer dealings, and at worst a […]
In the past I have been accused of being negative or having some form of personal agenda against Arsene Wenger. Accusations, that unsurprisingly, originate from supporters who wear rose-tinted spectacles where our manager is concerned. These are accusations that I strongly refute and would argue that perhaps it is those who choose to focus on […]
Howdy. Another week is behind us, which means the Premier League football returns. This game week kicks off with Spurs visiting Bournemouth, however Manchester City don’’t play until Sunday, which means Arsenal will be able to go top, provided we win on Saturday. And look, I see no reason why we shouldn’t. The team has […]
Winning the games “we should win”, and the new red card laws explained in detail Another week, another two wins. This is becoming something of a habit now isn’t it? Not bad after an international break either. I feel the need to apologise in advance for the amount of quotation marks in this week’s […]
Last season was meant to be our season. At New Year’s Day 2016 we were many pundits’ tip for the Title – partly because we were playing well and partly because other teams were floundering. It didn’t happen and we found ourselves in a fight – successful – for second place. Not to be […]
Recently our skipper Laurent Koscielny did this against Southampton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmCyTv6Zn8A It brought something to mind that caused me to browse through my old Invinciblog site because in 2013 on the back of a great season he did this at St James Park. It was on the last game of the season which took us into […]
Our Last 9, Our Last 9 undefeated…..Annoying People The Arsenal Way, Where the hell is Theo Walcott, and what have you done with him, Wenger? Plus…Wenger and Mourinho on Twitter So, three wins in a week, and going into the International break just two points off of the top of the table spot occupied by […]
We are all aware of the fickle nature of football fandom and opinion, particularly as expressed on social media. So much so that last night, after a few cracking performances which excited us all I witnessed conversations on Twitter asking if those who were expressing discontent at Wenger would now apologise; admit they were wrong […]
As the 93rd minute was ticking away, I was thinking of how great a last-minute winner could be. This unique feeling of snatching the win when the draw is staring you in the face. Nothing compares to it. The guys behind me in the pub were having a good time, mostly because they were watching […]
Hello fellow Gooners! I’m replacing Alex – supposedly busy , I believe he’s still recovering from the amazing 3-0 win in his first-ever match at the Emirates Stadium – to preview for you the Champions League game against Swiss champions FC Basel. I’ve been living in Switzerland for almost nine years now and I’m slowly […]
