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, […]
This is another low – as we surrendered another lead and this time it was to Wolves. A draw was perhaps the fairest result as Wolves had chances – and overall had more shots on goal than we did. Yet again, we’ve been out-shot, and this isn’t on. Wolves is a decent side, and they […]
Arsenal’s first Europa League game of the campaign will be a welcome distraction from the Premier League. Following the capitulation at Watford, the mood around the Emirates is far from upbeat. Five games into the season isn’t the time to panic. But the rumours that are circling the club about players not understanding the manager’s […]
When I was watching Watford batter us during an abysmal second half showing at Vicarage Road, I was heavily reminded by how we played Huddersfield away last season. That game was our first league win on the road in over two months. On the day we went 2-0 up after the first 45 minutes and […]
‘HAS SOMEONE LEFT THE INFERIORITY COMPLEX IN BAKU?’ – Positives, Needs and Hopes I am not just trying to be rose tinted. Coaching taught me a while ago that winning matters but the game is often a collection of separate observations. Take the score away as it matters little in […]
1) There has been a strange pause in our dealings. Almost signed Saliba and then paused. Close on Tierney, paused. Bid for Zaha, pause. In the first part of this blog, I wondered if we have paused due to prioritizing Zaha. It could be this but it also could be that Kroenke has agreed to a […]
Much has been written about just how many players Arsenal have been linked to already in this transfer window and of course, this is no different to any other window in reality. The question is less why are we linked to so many players but more why does that surprise anyone. In fact, being linked […]
Here were are post season and Arsenal and their frustrated fan base enter a summer of frenzied media and social media speculation of who will arrive and who will depart the playing staff ahead of the 2019/20 campaign. What we all know, or think we know is that having failed in his first season to […]
And so months of endless navel gazing and pontificating begins. If, like me, you’re a fan of HBO’s Game of Thrones and thought the much anticipated “Long Night” foreshadowed in the show ended up being something entirely anti-climatic, I can promise you as an Arsenal fan that this summer is going to be the complete opposite. It’s […]
Arsenal vs. Chelsea – Europa League Final Preview So the final is upon us. We’re in Azerbaijan, and the talk of Mkhitaryan not going, fans’ travel costs, and why Azerbaijan was even chosen, now comes all to a head. THE Arsenal is facing off with Chelsea, for the Europa League. Our first European final […]
