Player Ratings and Impressions of Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – We lose “Kings of London” derby
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
O Captain, My Captain (Or Times 5 in Arsenal’s case!!)
O Captain, My Captain Unai named his ‘Captains’ yesterday and to be fair, the names did not come as a surprise. “The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment. After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.” […]
Arsenal v PSG – Positives, Needs and Hopes after yesterday’s match
Arsenal vs PSG…. Positives, Needs and Hopes Firstly, maybe my TV has a pigment issue but it looked like light green vs very light green. I think I need a new TV but either way I was surprised that the ref let them do this. Formation 4-3-2-1 is what it looked like. Iwobi on left […]
I stand by Ozil.
I stand by Ozil Ozil is a player who naturally has divided opinion amongst us. I equate him with Alli and Hazard. All three have exceptional basic technical talent. But Spurs’ best player in 17/18 was Kane by far (as usual). Hazard didn’t do that much last season either, and after their league […]

How will Arsenal’s midfield shape up in 18/19? – The balance between Creativity and Combativeness
With the retention of Elneny and Xhaka, a potential re-signing of Ramsey, and the incoming of Torreira, and not to forget Maitland-Niles re-signing, our midfield will have a new face to it. Of course, Wilshere has left, so we may not have as much creative edge. Nonetheless, how can we build on this? How […]
Emery set to Impress with a ‘High Press’ this season – So now is time for Players to ‘Press’ their claims
As I said yesterday the speculation about how Arsenal will look and set up come August is rife, despite the welcome distraction of England’s World Cup exploits. Unusually our club find themselves in a position where many of the key players were not involved in Russia and are all back and working with Emery and […]
How far can the World Cup Gunners go in Russia?
Arsenal’s World Cup players – How well can our players do in the coming World Cup? Whilst we may not have as many World Cup players as in previous tournaments, it’s interesting to see nonetheless how well they can do With the addition of Lichtsteiner, we have an additional player in the World […]
Arsenal have very few World Class players compared to other top teams…a cause for concern or not?
How many World Cup players do we have, and is it a concern? This coming WC is odd compared to recent ones, since we don’t have many players as stars for top teams. This is an anomaly compared to the past 20, maybe 30, years or so. There was a time even when Gooners […]
