As you probably know, yesterday was the first game I attended live. And boy what a good game that was. I wasn’t able to write a preview because of the whole “changing countries” thing, but if did, I would have to mention our atrocious record against Chelsea. We last won a game against the Blues […]
So we arrive at game number 6 sitting fourth on 10 points ahead of today’s opponents on goal difference. Suffice to say even at this early stage of the campaign the Arsenal v Chelsea fixture is as significant as ever. Arsenal are in form, have positive selection decisions to make, are at home and are […]
It’s hard to argue that earning a point in the Parc des Princes in the opening game of a new Champions League campaign isn’t a good result. On paper Paris Saint-Germain are comfortably the toughest opponents Arsenal will face in Group A this season and a draw away to them is not one that should […]
So the new season is back and after finishing second in the Premier League last season, we are now back in the Champions League for the 19th season in a row with a tough first group game against Paris Saint German in France, a match which may be our toughest group game. After being drawn […]
Recently a habit I had for some time, bubbling under the surface, started to get the better of me: a habit of turning my back on the TV when there’s a dangerous situation near our or our opponents’ goal. Not when such a situation arises from open play, I mostly have free-kicks and penalties in […]
Soon the international break will finally be over and Premier League football returns and the upcoming encounter with Southampton will tell a lot about the way Arsène Wenger wants the team to play, this season. Against Liverpool, Leicester City and Watford it was mainly the fitness levels that dictated the line-up, with some key players […]
Two weeks later than we had all hoped, our season finally started at Vicarage Road last Saturday. An impressive attacking display, consisting of both pace and purpose during the first forty five minutes, ensured that we went in to the interval, three goals to the good. With the points practically secured during the first half, […]
After months of rumours, whispers and speculation, the 2016 summer transfer window is now closed. Premier League clubs can no longer do business and must make do with the players at their disposal until January at the earliest. For Arsenal, any talk of finally landing that world class striker will have to wait for a […]
Since 2010 there have possibly been more lows than highs in N5 with of course the 2014 and 2015 FA Cup wins the 2 highlights. We have seen heroes leave and new heroes arrive and we have broken the club transfer record from pre 2010 now about 5 times. Most of our supporters seem to […]
I would love to be writing to say that it is a lovely morning and the sun is shining through the window. I would dearly love to say that Arsenal banked another three points by playing Leicester off the park and that we now sit level with the big boys Man Utd., Man City, Chelsea […]
