After the international break, we’re back with a home game vs. Southampton. England and Wales, amongst the four UK sides, have qualified for Euro 2020 outright. Can we get the win here, in our hope to qualify for another competition commencing in 2020 (Champions League)? If we can, it’s dependent on our tactics, […]
Well it has been quite a week supporting The Arsenal. A stirring come back in the Premier League, an exciting victory over Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, a first glimpse of Kieran Tierney, the return of Holding and Bellerin and the captaincy decision played out in the public arena. The decision to name Granit […]
Manchester United vs. Arsenal PL Preview The battle of the (former) titans is due again. We haven’t won there in the league at least since 2006 – when a certain Mr. Adebayor scored the winner. The only other victory has been an FA Cup win on route to our triumph in 2015, when […]

After the international break we return to the excitement of the Premier League with a short away trip to Vicarage Road, to face an out-of-sorts Watford, minus talisman Deeney but with a new manager. It would be fair to say that Arsenal have found the Hornets troublesome of late having been stung by them home […]
So, it’s coming. Us vs. Them. 60,000 ground vs. 62,000 ground. And 30 major trophies vs. 17 major trophies. And a league title won in recent memory vs. a league only fully remembered by the very elderly. That lot has had some issues lately since Pochettino has made some public statements perhaps showing […]
When Unai went to Anfield……. When Unai went to Anfield, I don’t think he got it right, He went too narrow in midfield With no width left or right When Unai went to Anfield He went with two up top To try and catch them on the break It didn’t work in front of the […]
Let us relax – Arsenal transfers and angst We as Gooners know the drill, right? We’re all anxiously checking Google, Twitter, Facebook, or any online media (or any media, full STOP) for news on transfers. We hear stories that “personal terms have been agreed” for x player. We then read that “y player […]
For fans on the red side of North London, it has now been over a year since we said au revoir to Arsene Wenger and Hola to Unai Emery. I was actually born before Arsene actually took the manager reigns of a club, I had come to love so much. All I have known pretty […]
