I had a bad feeling about the Chelsea game but I still put on a brave face to watch it. We’ve become a joke against those rotten Blues, season after season and game after game. There is no way that we should have lost that game even after the state of our midfield being what […]
It has been a rather depressing few days in the life of Arsenal fans after yet another sickening blow inflicted by the arch nemesis that is Chelsea. Despite the fact the red card we were dealt this time to Per Mertesacker being the correct decision, the sour taste left in the mouths of the Gunner […]
We travel to Mordor on Sunday and, having dropped points on Wednesday, now need a win. City have thumped Palave and vastly improve their goal difference over us and Leicester despite surprisingly dropping 2 points at Villa aare now top Leicester continue to amaze everyone. Way back, before we took on City I think, I […]
When the final whistle blew on Monday, I experienced a mixed bag of emotions: disappointed we couldn’t hold on, angry at being completely overplayed in midfield, glad we escaped the game without injuries. However my overriding emotion was that of relief. I was emotionally drained by full-time. Truth be told, I was emotionally drained after […]
As seems to be the same every season, Arsenal are set to embark on a hugely difficult set of fixtures in the coming months. With Liverpool away the first of many challenges coming at Arsene Wenger and his merry men it will be interesting to see how the squad copes. However, for once in what […]
If any of you were thinking about a nice festive period with absolutely no surprises, then I’m sorry for you guys. Just like me you have been done in by Arsenal Football Club and its promises of being top. No problem though because that Mahrez bloke goes up against Manchester City today and I dare […]
When I saw Fonte power his header past Cech in the 66th minute, I turned the game off. It’s what I always do when the Gunners go 3 down. I haven’t watched us lose to United 8-2. I haven’t witnessed our 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Chelsea, or the 5-1 at Anfield. Even this […]
I have just watched Arsenal disintegrate against Southampton in a way which takes me back to the worst of our defensive performances i.e. Liverpool, Man U, Man City and Chelsea. Throw in Monaco and Dynamo Zagreb just for fun. Ironically, as I sat at my PC I noticed Timothy Hargreaves article about defensive discipline. I […]
No rest for the wicked as the Gunners (along with the other 19 teams, truth be told) prepare for their Boxing Day game against Southampton. And despite Southampton’s atrocious recent form (1 point in 6 games, with only 2 goals scored during that run), I feel uneasy about this match. Maybe because I can’t recall […]
Many of you will be aware that I am not the biggest fan of Aaron Ramsey. I read much of Sohum’s article from before the Manchester City match last week, some points I agreed with and some not so much. I’d just like to highlight some things before tonight’s match concerning Arsenal’s tactics, selections and […]
