Do we need a wide-man? It’s often said these days that we need a winger, or a general wide man. I can see why this is said. Last year, we often played sideways football in front of the opposing defence, looking for the telling opening. However, I don’t think a winger would solve this. […]
As Arsenal jetted off to Australia at the weekend, the newspapers were quick to tell us which players did not travel. With the futures of Carl Jenkinson and Kieran Gibbs up in the air, the defensive duo were left behind, with moves away from N5 imminent it seems. Another who didn’t go Down Under was […]
Welcome to the Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette! Finally, we’ve got a striker who can finish, move around the box, link with teammates and – last but not least – take penalties. It took a lot of time to finally find our man, with multiple high-profile targets – such as Luis Suárez and Gonzalo Higuaín – gone […]
I sometimes do that thing where I take the manager’s comments from the post-match press conference and explain just why all the shortcomings he points out in the team are his fault. Or, rather, I did that thing. I did it when I was still reading what Arsene had to say. Now I don’t. I […]
So here, Arsenal find ourselves having not played two weeks beginning the ‘annual’ week that defines our season. With three matches in three different competitions in eight days, come March 13th we as supporters will have a good idea what the remainder of the season may hold for us. The reason I have said the […]
What has Lucas Pérez done to Arsène Wenger to justify the continuous, inexplicable, appalling lack of game time, since he joined from Deportivo La Coruña? I understand why many supporters are left wondering about the manager’s reluctance to play the Spaniard, however Arsène Wenger himself let slip some interesting words about Lucas Pérez during a […]
It is obvious Arsene Wenger wanted to make some changes at the end of last season as he bought in a few players over the summer transfer window to try and make them competitive enough to win the title this year. Unfortunately, for Wenger and the rest of the squad, it has not been all […]
Hello again everyone, hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Always made better with a win (and a Spurs loss!). So, as expected we stuttered through another home game and got, some may say, rather fortunate in the end to take the 3 points. I’m not going to go into much detail on the game itself, […]
The facts, the whole facts and nothing but the facts. Over the past week, a few more alternative Facts have been forwarded to me and I thought they were important enough to share with you all; 1 – Lucas Perez isn’t being selected as punishment for sleeping with Sir Chips Keswick’s mother. 2 – […]
Howdy. It’s Hull we face on Saturday, while all being preoccupied with one single question: is there life after death? Well, strictly speaking it’s what point there is in the rest of the campaign after a failed title bid?, but I just wanted to add a bit of drama. Because clearly there is not enough […]
