Howdy. It’s the West Bromwich Albion enigma the Gunners have to crack today and, taking into account our poor recent form and the fact Pulis is in charge of the Baggies, this is not going to be a walk in the park. Team news update Arsene Wenger faces an unenviable task of shaking the current […]
Hi Gooners! This week’s column has been inspired by two superb articles written by Dave Seager, featured on Football London: the former was an inspired analysis of how Cesc Fàbregas was a more influential figure at the Arsenal than Mesut Özil – although younger and playing with less-convincing teammates – while the second is a […]
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 […]
It’s been a while since I’ve last posted something. I hope you’ll pardon this self-imposed exile from your truly, but, akin to last season’s loss to United, the crushing defeat to Bayern Munich proved one too many for me. I don’t have any idea whether things will go uphill, in fact, I do not […]
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 […]
So I hear Özil is lazy. He is not passionate enough, is overrated and has a loser mentality. This World Cup winner has the biggest target on his back and that is never going to change, certainly not whilst he is an Arsenal player. I have been thinking about him a lot today (makes a […]
Hi folks. It’s been a while again since I posted. Having watched Arsenal’s recent spate of poor performances ruining yet another promising campaign (except the Bayern match – that one was always going to be a pummeling for Arsenal), here’s a few things I’d like to see changed next season. The Manager I know […]
After yet another defeat like this one, it is difficult to write a measured and well thought piece without it simply sounding like a rant. In the immediate aftermath of such a loss, emotions are often heightened and a cooling off period is required whereby what is then written can at least be considered constructive. […]
Amidst the wreckage and the rubble of last night and the miles of prose this morning on social media, I would like to ask a question of all AKB fanatics. I apologise in advance here if I am offending any reasonable person who supports Arsene and does not consider himself a fanatic. Do you think […]
Chelsea 3-1, Bayern Munich 5-1. As an Arsenal fan, I hate February! How crazy is it to be an Arsenal fan, especially after 2006? You get stick from everyone around you, some people who don’t even know Arsene Wenger come up and tell you “Wenger out” because of some idiot like Adrian Durham. To be […]
