Well, it looks like the last throw of the dice, doesn’t it? Drinking in the last chance saloon for Arsenal. To say I’m hugely disappointed in where this season seems to be heading would be stating the bleeding obvious. I’m also angry. At myself, first of all. Yet another season I’ve allowed myself to buy […]
If anyone needed further evidence that this season should be the final one of Arsene’s managerial reign, our defeat against Watford should have provided them with it. After an impressive five goal victory, away at Southampton, I arrived at the Emirates in an optimistic mood and confident that the team would win the game. However, […]
When Arsenal’s squad was announced I had only one thing to say: this is either a masterstroke and we’ll win convincingly, or it’s a huge mistake and we’ll screw up completely. (That is 2 things 🙂 )There was reason enough to worry: Arsene made 10 changes to the side which narrowly beaten Burnley on Sunday, […]
Howdy. We face Southampton in 4th round of the FA Cup today and will be looking to secure passage to round 5 for the 17th time in 21 years. Southampton have become something of a bogey team for us. We have only managed to beat the Saints four times from 11 attempts since their promotion […]
With the incorporation of Alexis, Lucas, Giroud, Ozil, Iwobi, Xhaka and Ramsey all in the same attack at various points of a game I think we can agree that this is our best attack for quite a few years. The effectiveness is there, because coming back from deficits requires mental will no doubt but also […]
This blog is written for one purpose and one purpose only, namely, to celebrate the goal that ended with big man Ollie staring at the giant screen in amazement after scoring the goal of 2017 on the first day of the year. We can break the goal down to each integral piece of the puzzle […]
Let me get this out of the way first: Arsenal deserved to win the game. Not so much because of the total domination in numbers: 76% possession, 26 shots, 11 on target. The Gunners deserved the three points as such domination was a result of their proactive approach and, let’s be honest, West Brom’s total […]
Howdy. We face Stoke today and this presents us with a chance to go top of the league, at least temporarily. Chelsea don’t play till Sunday, but there’s another hitch though: we’ll have to beat Stoke by three or more goals to go top. This doesn’t look too big an ask when you take into […]
There is much speculation about team selection for tonight’s match. Who is in goal? – Cech or Ospina or even our third string Emiliano Martinez and if there is a guessing game about the goalkeeper slot then double/treble it for the 10 other positions. The reason for the uncertainty is summarised in Wenger’s words “PSG […]
Howdy. We host Bournemouth in a fixture which signals a schedule ease-up. I am less than pleased about drawing three consecutive games, while also playing as poorly as we did, but it can’t be denied we faced tough opponents. Bournemouth is a step down from the quality of the sides we drew against. That’s not […]
