Why, Why, Why, Unai We saw the light on the night that we let go of Wenger We saw the flickering genius and that he was losing his mind He was a top manager But he was left wanting and we knew that we had to call time My my my Unai Why […]

Is Emery’s lack of structure hurting our most talented group of youngsters in years?
I watched our match against Vitoria of Portugal. They are 4th in the Portuguese top league. Not a great pedigree, but good enough to lead us a merry dance for 80 mins when Pepe equalised their second goal. He then went on to score the winner with a last gasp free kick. That was a momentous […]
Emery to start Tierney in a 442 Diamond v The Blades?
Sheffield United vs. Arsenal – PL preview – Monday 21st October 2019 – Bramall Lane, Sheffield. Time to end once and for all our away day “rustiness” in the Steel City We’re off to the Steel City on Monday. Our away form has been rusty over the past few seasons, but then this can […]
Will Emery’s alliance with Xhaka ultimately cost Arsenal’s Champion’s League Aspirations and his job?
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 […]
The Man who promised a plan has no plan – Emery must GO
Unai Emery must go. This is not one of those post-defeat, rage-fuelled tantrums but a conclusion I came to after a long reflection. I held this back until after the Carabao Cup game against Nottingham Forest to avoid any connection between to over-laborious win against Aston Villa in the Premier League and my piece. I’ve […]
If it’s to be 433 then 4 into 3 won’t go! – Which of Torreira, Ceballos, Guendouzi and Xhaka should miss out v Watford?
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 […]
Emery needs to be ruthless with those making ‘Individual Errors’ if Top 3 finish to be a reality
I am delighted to say that Guendouzi was most people’s man of the match. I have previously cautioned some fans who were trumpeting his skills because he had many faults caused by naivety and lack of experience. I did say though that he was a future star in the making. If he produces this quality […]
We have swapped Calamity and Gaffs in Mustafi for an Older Version Gaffster in Luiz
Victor’s response to the GT Match review of Anfield defeat ……… I am a bit hesitant to criticise an article by someone who is a coach and so I will stick to some basic observations for which a coach’s badge is not necessary. For instance, I did a critique at the time I […]
When Unai went to Anfield – A little ditty on a result that was a bit …..
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 […]
The Key Men and the Key Battles for the Europa Final and will Emery sacrifice Mesut Ozil in the midfield?
