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 […]
In the weeks that have passed since I last penned my thoughts, three successive home victories followed up by two successive away draws, has resulted in the team staying in contention for the league title as well as progressing to the fourth round of the FA Cup, where we will face a home tie against Burnley, a positive return in the eyes of most […]
Hi everyone. I suspect it will be a short one today, despite the scale of the fixture – mainly because as I’m writing this the arrows on the clock are inching towards 10 p.m. on a Monday. It wouldn’t be such as issue had I not been forced to put in only 5 hours of […]
Arsenal’s visit to Anfield on Wednesday kick starts a run of games that will be crucial in determining the strength of Arsenal’s title challenge this season. As I wrote before the FA Cup tie against Sunderland, the destiny of the Premier League title will be decided by Arsenal’s away form given the number of tough […]
Order was restored after a tumultuous November. Arsenal, in typical fashion recovered from their blip in form winning five out of the six games they played in the last month of 2015. The festive period poses several challenges : players are fatigued, conditions are tricky and team chemistry is disrupted by squad rotation. However, the Gunners […]
Welcome to the New Year. Our Festive merry-go-round draws to a close with a game against Newcastle and this is the part where I cherish we haven’t progressed further in the Carling Cup. Yes, the manner in which we crashed out was nasty and I certainly wouldn’t want Arsenal to lose on purpose so that the […]
It was such a refreshing performance. It’s a beautiful life folks. Manchester City have done us a favour by drawing with Leicester because that means we are top of the Premier League at the start of 2016 and that City are 3 points off the pace completely. I wonder what might have been if we […]
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 […]
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 […]
